Mare to contest Group 2 Lawrence Stakes just days after being sold on Inglis Digital.
Peter Dunn will be looking for an early return on investment this Saturday at Caulfield when Yellow Sam goes around in the P B Lawrence Stakes.
Dunn's Dodmark Thoroughbreds paid $305,000 for the six-year-old daughter of Ready For Victory at this week's Inglis Digital August (Early) Sale.
Yellow Sam, who is prepared by Lindsey Smith, will be racing for a $180,000 winner's cheque in Saturday's 1400-metre Group 2.
"I'll give Lindsey a call and introduce myself and tell him everything is as per usual, just keep doing what you're doing, at least for the next couple of starts,'' Dunn said.
"She'll run on Saturday and then they were heading toward a Group 1 with her in a couple of weeks so I don't want to throw a spanner in the works when they've got their systems worked out.
"I liked her breeding, she hasn't had that many starts so we bought her to race her for the next month or so and then likely send her to stud but, who knows?
"If she wins these starts we might race her on longer, we'll just decide after her next couple of starts."
Yellow Sam, the third placegetter in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes at her most recent appearance, has won eight of 19 starts, including the Group 3 Mystic Journey Stakes at Hobart.
A $19 chance in the Lawrence Stakes market, which is headed by Private Eye ($3.20), Yellow Sam is a chance to progress to the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on September 20.
She was the second highest-priced lot of the Inglis Digital offering behind five-year-old American Pharoah mare Cleo Cat, who was bought by Yulong for $335,000.
Cleo Cat, who won seven of 11 for Tom Dabernig, including the Group 3 Proud Miss Stakes at Morphettville earlier this year, was bought with the intention of being put to Yulong's new stallion, More Than Looks.
"She's a good, fast mare from a nice family, a really good looking mare so she'll head to More Than Looks, she matches up nicely on pedigree and as a physical with him," Yulong's Sam Fairgray said.
"We were thinking she'd make her $300,000-$350,000 so we were around the mark."
