The Inglis Digital USA Sale, which opened Friday and concludes next Wednesday, April 8 at 2 p.m., offers an eye-catching entry in undefeated Shane's Wonder (Eastwood) from Bob Hutt's Uptowncharlybrown Stud LLC.Shane's Wonder won his Feb. 17 debut at Parx, going six-furlongs against state-bred maidens, by 11 1/2 lengths, and followed that up March 25 with a six-and-a-half furlong win against open allowance company by 3 1/4 lengths.Paramount Stud will consign the horse on behalf of owner-breeder Hutt and his partners, who are offering a 75% interest in the three-year-old gelding. He is available for inspection at Parx at the barn of his trainer, Freddy Velazquez.“Shane's Wonder could be any kind of horse,” said Inglis Digital USA's CEO Kyle Wilson. “We're glad Bob chose to work with us and the fact that he wants to stay in as a minority partner just solidifies the fact that he really believes in this horse and wants to keep having fun. That's a major benefit of this platform.”“Bob Hutt has been in the game for a long time and knows as well as anyone that these are the moments you need to capitalize on if you're a seller,” said Paramount's Paddy Campion. “From the buying side, you've got a horse with a ton of upside. He's lightly raced, has made only two career starts, and is undefeated, winning them by a margin of 14 ¾ lengths, so the world is his oyster. A three-year-old, he's being pointed to the Wait For It stakes on at Parx on April 22. It's a restricted race, for Pennsylvania-bred and sired three-year-olds at six furlongs.”After his second race, Hutt said he started getting calls from bloodstock agents hoping to buy 100 percent of the horse, whom Hutt admits is well on his way to becoming a big fish in a small pond.“He's going to outgrow Parx,” said Hutt. “I'm going to have to take him out on the open road. I started getting calls from around the country to buy the horse and I finally got a call from Paddy Campion and then I got a call from Joshua Kerin at Inglis. I said, `I really don't want to sell him.' I said the only way I'm going to sell him is if we can retain an interest in him.”Even though, as a Pennsylvania-bred and sired horse, he is eligible for the state's rich owner, breeder, and stallion bonuses, Campion said that the gelding's new connections would most likely be dreaming a bit bigger.“He went from a 78 Beyer to an 86 Beyer, with back-to-back 10+ Ragozins,” said Campion. “That puts him up there with the top three-year-olds, and races such as the Chick Lang on Preakness Day, won last year with a 10 Ragozin (by Retribution), are very realistic. Further down the line, a race like the Woody Stephens or later into the Saratoga summer, the Allen Jerkens, are as well.”Hutt said that his trainer, Freddy Velazquez, knew he was something special all along, which Hutt came to realize after watching him breeze five furlongs in a minute flat “in the dead of winter in a death grip.”After his second start, said Hutt, “when he ran in open company and destroyed them again, the jockey Elisio Ruiz, said to me, `Bob, I galloped him out. I don't know if this horse has distance limitations. He wasn't even breathing. Thoro-Graph gave him a 4 1/2.”Eastwood, who has had six crops to race, is a graded-stakes placed son of champion sprinter and sire of sires Speightstown.“I leased him for 10 years and his babies are just starting to come to the racetrack with me,” said Hutt. “We bred him to One Fast Chick, who I tried to sell and I couldn't get a $1,000 bid to sell her. Somehow, some of the best deals in life are the ones you can't make.”Hutt said he feels the sky is the limit for Shane's Wonder. “I think he's one of the top 10% of three-year-olds this year, and where I thought he was only a sprinter, I'm having second thoughts about it now. He went from six to six-and-a-half and he wasn't even breathing when he came back. He's a freak. He truly is a freak. And I don't say that very often.”Concluded Campion, “the whole barn is high on him and when the connections are high on him, and when you have this opportunity, it's good to capitalize on it, particularly in an individual online sale where you can do it without disturbing the horse.”The online auction's catalog features 36 horses and stallion seasons. The first lot will close Wednesday, April 8 at 2 p.m. Eastern, and each successive offering will hammer in three-minute increments.The broodmare draft features Swift Applause, a Congrats mare offered in foal to the red-hot freshman sire Drain the Clock. Consigned by Vinery Sales, agent, Swift Applause is a half-sister to Grade III-placed stakes winner Market Rumor, from a family with graded black type under each of the first three dams.“We're really looking forward to this sale,” said Wilson. “Shane's Wonder is going to create a lot of buzz but there's plenty to like in here. Drain the Clock is a big time hype horse in Ocala and we've got Swift Applause (hip 27) in foal to him, Caraway is selling two racehorses that both just breezed bullets, and we've got some NG seasons available for breeders that haven't found a stallion yet.”The post Undefeated Shane’s Wonder Features in Inglis Digital USA April Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
