The upcoming Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Sale has assembled one of its most diverse catalogues in recent years, with racing and breeding participants presented with 440 lots covering broodmares, racehorses, young stock, stallion shares and racing shares ahead of the Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Sale, the sale arrives at an important stage of the breeding calendar, offering buyers the chance to secure mares ready for the coming season alongside proven performers and emerging talent from across the Australian thoroughbred industry.
Among the catalogue’s headline offerings is Mindarie, whose reputation as a broodmare continues to rise. A two-year-old winner during her own racing career, she is now the dam of two stakes-winning juveniles in Do I Feel Lucky and Maria Lucia, while she also has a rising two-year-old and a yearling waiting in the wings.
Another notable entry is Miss Passion, a metropolitan-winning daughter of Redoute’s Choice who is offered in foal to Dundeel, a mating that has already produced an impressive percentage of stakes performers.
Group 3 winner Ms Catherine, successful in the Typhoon Tracy Stakes, also features prominently. She is offered in foal to The Autumn Sun, who continues to enjoy a productive season among Australia’s leading sires.
Stallion investors have an opportunity to purchase a share in the promising young sire Wild Ruler, whose first crop has made an encouraging start. His early runners already include Group 2 winner Stretan Ruler and Woodlands Stakes winner Queen Regent, underlining the appeal of the young stallion.
The racing share section is headed by a five per cent interest in Within The Law, the talented three-year-old filly who has already captured three stakes victories and earned more than A$1.7 million in prize money, making her one of the catalogue’s most attractive racing prospects.
The sale extends well beyond its headline entries. The catalogue comprises 176 racehorses, including 90 race fillies, 122 broodmares, 73 racehorse shares, 39 weanlings, 19 yearlings, four unraced horses, three stallion shares, two stallions, one breeding right and one two-year-old.
Several additional highlights are expected to attract strong attention, including Celestial Falls, a Group-placed mare in foal to Farnan; Dances With Hooves, already qualified for the prestigious Big Dance; Hidden Motive, offered as a five per cent share after Group 2 success; Nettuno, a Group 3-winning son of I Am Invincible; unbeaten juvenile Pulp Friction; and Sweet Leaf, an improving two-year-old filly with significant upside.
The breeding section is equally deep, featuring yearlings and weanlings by sires including All Too Hard, Artorius, Best Of Bordeaux, Brave Smash, Farnan, Maurice, Shamus Award, So You Think, Stay Inside and Wild Ruler. Buyers will also find mares carrying foals by a wide range of proven and emerging stallions, including Brazen Beau, Dundeel, Farnan, Hellbent, Native Trail, Per Incanto, Shinzo, Stay Inside, Storm Boy and Switzerland.
