It was a fairytale #InglisDigital result in the time-honoured G1 Stradbroke Hcp on Saturday, with $8000 bargain buy Spicy Martini (Justify) leading in an Inglis graduates trifecta in the $3m feature.
The talented 4YO mare has been ultra consistent for her trainer Toby Edmonds since he purchased her in the 2023 March (Early) Sale as a yearling, racing 12 times for six wins and incredibly has now earned almost $2.7m in prizemoney.
Spicy Martini became the 124th individual Inglis graduate to win a G1 since 2018, defeating Sepals and Von Hauke.
@JamesBester4 We are incredibly grateful for Johnny Walker who looked at her X-rays and told us to chance her! When she arrived in QLD she was re xrayed and issue was no longer present 🤯 The rest is now history
ICYMI: An $8000 buy with conformation issues, has won her way into the Stradbroke Hcp. Toby Edmonds @EdmondsRacing says his partner deserves the credit for finding the daughter of Justify online. @stevejoseph69#RadioTAB

The @EdmondsMclean Spicy Martini has surged into Stradbroke Handicap contention, earning her G1 shot with a gritty Fred Best win—though Craig Williams won’t be aboard due to her featherweight 49.5kg, opening the door to a crop of Queensland hoops. Read👇

Outstanding win from Ready To Schipp at Doomben today for @EdmondsMclean and KWT.
She pockets the huge ~$100k Saturday Prizemoney with the QTIS bonus. She’s a talented filly and really deserved that today.
Great ride and placement by the team 👏
