Weanlings, race fillies and broodmares added to Great Southern Sale catalogue
A strong supplementary catalogue of 53 lots – including weanlings by some of Australia's most exciting stallions, as well as black-type performed mares and mares carrying desirable pregnancies – has been confirmed for the forthcoming Inglis Great Southern Sale which will be held over two days on July 4 - 5.
In total, 28 weanlings and 25 race fillies and broodmares have been added to the catalogue, taking the overall number to 587.
The supplementary catalogue includes weanlings by leading sires including Capitalist (Written Tycoon), Exceed And Excel (Danehill), Deep Field (Northern Meteor), So You Think (High Chaparral), Toronado (High Chaparral), Frosted (Tapit) and Maurice (Screen Hero) among others.
Additional race fillies and breeding stock include the likes of multiple Group 3 winner Delectation Girl (Delegator), Fuhrnatic (Langfuhr) – the dam of multiple Group 3 winner and Group 1 placegetter Fuhryk (Star Witness) – plus mares in foal to the likes of Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt), Zoustar (Northern Meteor), Yes Yes Yes (Rubick), Frosted, Exceedance (Exceed And Excel), etc.
The supplementary mares catalogue also includes Shamardal (Giant's Causeway) mare Lady Blakeney, an exceptionally rare offering given she is in foal to Godolphin's young sire sensation Night Of Thunder (Dubawi), whose only Australian crop of racing age is responsible for five stakes winners from just 36 runners to date, including recent Group 1 winner Kukeracha.
"It is fantastic to have what was already a very strong catalogue supplemented by a number of very appealing additional lots," Inglis' Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price said.
"The Victorian restrictions that forced the sale to be postponed from its original dates in the first place have largely all been eased now and we're looking forward to seeing as many buyers as possible on the grounds at Oaklands from next week.
"Interest in the sale from buyers has been excellent and it was great to see this week the New Zealand - Victoria travel bubble re-open, as well as Queenslanders now permitted back into Victoria so the sale is shaping as one that most buyers will be able to physically attend.
"We will obviously continue to monitor the Covid situation in the Greater Sydney area, but even if some buyers are unable to attend, our online bidding services will, as always, be available and I'm confident buyers are so used to this form of purchasing these days that it will have minimal to no impact on the sale itself.''
The supplementary entries come on top of an already large and strong catalogue featuring 409 weanlings and 125 broodmares.
