The Inglis Digital February (Late) Sale has opened with a catalogue that is nothing short of spectacular, featuring 523 lots across racehorses, broodmares, shares, and breeding rights. A breeding right in first-season sire Anamoe, multiple Stakes performers, and young mares carrying highly sought-after pregnancies are among the standout offerings that are already capturing attention in Australia’s bloodstock circles.
The catalogue reads like a who’s who of contemporary racing, with Anamoe, a nine-time Group 1 winner, emerging as one of the most talked-about first-season sires after his Book 1 yearlings averaged $469,032 on the Gold Coast last month, setting a record for a first-season stallion. Among his debut crop, a seven-figure yearling underscored the immense appeal of his progeny and the strength of his bloodlines.
Inglis Digital Business Manager Nick Melmeth described the catalogue as “one of the most appealing offerings we have ever brought to market on Inglis Digital,” highlighting the rarity and value of securing a share in a stallion of Anamoe’s calibre.
Star racehorses featured in the sale include the precocious 3YO colt North England, winner of the $1 million Golden Gift and G3 Kindergarten Stakes, and a recent competitor in the $3 million Sunlight Plate on the Gold Coast. Fellow 3YO Blitzburg boasts a G3 Canonbury Stakes victory as a 2YO, while Manolo Bling has four wins to his name, Stakes placings, and a family tree linked to G1 performers Sweet Idea and Showtime.
The catalogue also includes an enticing selection of broodmares and racing shares. Notable mares such as Sense of Honour (Pride of Dubai) come in foal to rising stallion Home Affairs, whose first 18 runners include seven Stakes horses. Shares in Group performers such as Adelaide River, a G1 contender aimed at Royal Ascot, and G2 winner Changingoftheguard are expected to spark strong interest.
Arrowfield Stud contributes a 12-strong draft, featuring Stakes producers, close relations to Stakes winners, and mares in foal to sought-after sires including Maurice, Castelvecchio, Admire Mars, and Vandeek.
Additional highlights include Absolute Flirt, a Stakes-winning mare offered with an Anamoe filly at foot; Aerodrome, a 10% share in a 2YO Ole Kirk metro winner; Battuta, a Queensland metro winner; Bosustow, a 5% share in a G3-winning entire; Hella Fast, a dual Stakes-placed 4YO metro winner; Midnite Storm, a 10% share in an undefeated former European stayer;
Mythology, a $400,000 yearling and last-start Queensland metro winner; Port Lockroy, a 5% share in a G1 winner targeting further Group races; Pure Bliss, a five-time winner and city performer with Stakes experience; Tahuna, a three-in-one package featuring an I Am Invincible mare in foal and foal at foot; and Tighten Me Up, half-sister to a G2 winner offered in foal to Sword of State.
Yearlings by Anamoe, Artorius, Bivouac, I Am Invincible, Maurice, Pierro, Jacquinot, Shamus Award, Brave Smash, and others are also featured, ensuring a deep and appealing offering for buyers seeking quality bloodstock. Leading industry players have backed the catalogue in force, including Archibald Racing, Arrowfield, Lindsay Park, Lees Racing, Waterhouse/Bott, Bennett Racing, Ciaron Maher, Bella Jane Lodge, Gold Front Thoroughbreds, and many more.
