Last year’s Mona Lisa Stakes winner tops Inglis Digital at $600,000.
The Listed Mona Lisa Stakes will be run at Wyong next Sunday and the mare who won last year's edition on Wednesday topped the latest Inglis Digital sale.
More Than Ready mare Mirra View got to $600,000 before being knocked down to a Victorian operation bidding as Walnut Farm.
Paringa Stud offered the six-year-old, a winner of five of 25 starts, on behalf of Bennelong Bloodstock, which Paringa Stud's Lynette "Reggie'' Blundell considered a great outcome.
"We were realistic in watching where the market sat at the moment and while you want to put them on the market and let the competition play out, you also don't want to give them away so I think this is an ideal outcome for everybody,'' Blundell said.
"There was a huge amount of interest in her based on the volume of enquiries that either myself or Inglis received, so it's reassuring to know that she got the attention of all the major breeders and investors domestically.
"This is the best result we've achieved online."
Mirra View became the 78th lot to realise $100,000 or more on Inglis Digital this year.
One Last Kiss, formerly trained by Dan O'Sullivan, is among them, having sold to Ultra Thoroughbreds for $275,000, while Dublin Belle was bought by Middlebrook Valley Lodge for $115,000.
In total the August (Late) Sale grossed $3,235,226.
