The Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale has opened with a sense of scale and depth that underlines its importance on the breeding and racing calendar, as a substantial catalogue featuring 551 carefully selected lots presents opportunities across multiple tiers of the thoroughbred industry. The Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale has once again attracted attention from breeders, owners, and pinhookers alike, with a blend of proven performers, emerging talent, and valuable breeding prospects shaping a richly varied offering.
This early edition of the sale arrives at a time when many participants are assessing long-term breeding strategies ahead of the wider Inglis Breeding Stock Sales Series, prompting several vendors to bring forward stock that might otherwise have been retained for later auctions. The result is a catalogue that feels both timely and notably deep in quality.
Strong breeding and racing depth defines Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale catalogue
At the heart of the Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale are 207 racehorses, including 89 race fillies, alongside 186 broodmares, 76 racehorse shares, 49 yearlings, 21 weanlings, five two-year-olds, and a selection of unbroken stock and stallion shares. The structure alone highlights the broad spectrum of opportunity, catering to both immediate racing ambitions and long-term breeding investment.
Among the standout offerings is Stakes-placed mare April Vintage (Vino Rosso), presented as an appealing three-in-one package with a Justify filly at foot while also carrying a pregnancy to dual Group 1 winner Southport Tycoon. Her profile is emblematic of the quality spread throughout the Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale, where pedigree strength and current performance converge.
Cool Passion (Not A Single Doubt), a three-time Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed mare, adds further weight to the catalogue through her proven lineage, with her progeny continuing to make an impact on the track. Mahamaya, dam of Group 1 winner Antino, also features prominently and is offered with a Dundeel filly at foot, reinforcing the depth of elite bloodlines on offer.
Notable stallion shares and headline mares highlight Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale
The Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale also includes two stallion shares that are expected to draw significant attention, with Jacquinot emerging as one of the most exciting young stallions on the market following a strong first crop performance at yearling sales. Southport Tycoon, a dual Group 1-winning son of Written Tycoon, further enhances the appeal of this section of the catalogue, particularly given his connection to an increasingly influential sire line.
Further highlights include Always In Moment, a half-sister to two Group 3 winners, offered in foal to Switzerland, and Brulee, a well-related Stakes mare in foal to The Autumn Sun. Danny’s Sparkle, closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Behemoth, is another notable inclusion in foal to Southport Tycoon.
