One-time Blue Diamond favourite to be sold next week.
One of the beaten favourites from last week's Melbourne Cup Carnival will next week be available for purchase with Bold Bastille to be the subject of a boutique Inglis Digital Online offering.
The three-year-old daughter of Brazen Beau will be offered as a racing and breeding prospect.
The Ben Hayes, Will and JD Hayes-trained filly could manage only eighth in the Group 3 Red Roses (1100m) on Oaks Day, but has won four of nine starts including Listed wins in the 1000m Festival Stakes and 1100m Redoute's Choice Stakes.
Bold Bastille was also a dominant winner of the $250,000 VOBIS Gold Rush at 1200m.
A $270,000 Inglis Premier yearling, Bold Bastille is out of the Stakes winner Chlose In Paris, who is a daughter of former top-liner Innovation Girl.
She was purchased by Lindsay Park in partnership with Matt Becker's Group 1 Bloodstock and Becker said they were sticking with their usual method of offering high-performing fillies when the time was right.
"The commercial market really highly values precocity and what you find is those really good-looking, fast two-year-old-type of yearlings like Bold Bastille is they generally go on and throw that in their own progeny and I can see this filly producing that type of early 2YO herself,'' Becker said.
"She's got such a deep family behind her, the pedigree backs it up and I'm sure she'll make a quality broodmare in time.
"She was so precocious, very natural, everything you want to see in a filly that will run at two, very forward, so well put together, very correct, she just really stood out and a lot of good judges were on her at Inglis Premier.
"That win on debut was quite breathtaking and the form around her has been elite, it really stood up time and again.
"Like we do with all our good fillies – Coolangatta, Sierra Sue and plenty of others – we essentially offer everything to the market so somebody will be buying a dream mare and broodmare prospect.''
The Bold Bastille Sale will be live on inglisdigital.com from 3pm this coming Friday, November 15 with bidding to open at 9am Monday and close off from 4pm Tuesday, November 19.
