Brett Cavanough snaps up talented Williamsburg

Williamsburg will continue his career with Brett Cavanough after being bought by the canny Scone horseman and clients on Inglis Digital this week.

The Group 3 winner and Group 1 placegetter topped the Inglis Digital September (Early) Sale, which concluded on Wednesday, when sold for $455,000.

That is $15,000 less than what Tony Fung Investments paid for the son of Snitzel and Fenway as a yearling at Inglis Easter in 2021, with the gelding having since won more than $1 million on the track.

Along with the Group 3 TL Baillieu Handicap (1400m), Williamsburg won the Fernhill Mile (1600m) and Dulcify Stakes (1800m) at Listed level and was placed in both the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) and Rosehill Guineas (2000m).

A Rosehill winner over 1500m last month, he finished third in the Listed Rowley Mile at his most recent appearance and Cavanough believes he has many opportunities with the five-year-old over the next few months.

“He’s a good horse, he’s already proved that plenty of times, so I can’t wait to get him into the stables and see what we can achieve with him,” Cavanough said.

“A couple of private clients wanted a good horse and I think this is the perfect horse to target a race like The Big Dance with and even possibly the Melbourne Spring Carnival and then the Perth carnival.

“The Big Dance, a mile at Randwick (worth) $3 million, it ticks plenty of boxes for him. It’s just a matter of how we get him there and whether we end up there or not.

“I’m excited to have him and I’m confident we can have a lot of fun with him.”

Other horses to change hands on the Inglis offering included Zoustar mare Celestial Storm, who was bought by Perth interests for $170,000 and six-time winner Robusto, who sold to Darby Racing for $160,000 and will be transferred from Chris Waller to Bjorn Baker.

Kementari mare La Seule sold for $155,000 and South Of Houston $120,000, while a breeding right in Piereta was bought for $220,000.
