Inglis release Great Southern Sale catalogue

A filly by Frankel from a great Aga Khan family will headline the Great Southern Sale, the catalogue for which was released by Inglis on Monday night.

Inglis' Victorian bloodstock manager James Price is trumpeting the youngster as 'arguably the best weanling filly to be offered anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere this year', with the filly part of a Burnewang North sale.

By a champion racehorse and sire in Frankel, the filly is from the unraced Invincible Spirit mare Vadema, who is out of a half-sister to last year's Eclipse Stakes winner Vadeni.

"We are extremely grateful to Cathy Hains of Burnewang North for choosing the Great Southern Sale to sell all of her weanlings this year and buyers are in for a real treat with that draft," Price said.

"It is an outstanding group, headed by what I believe to be arguably the best weanling filly to be offered anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere this year, a Frankel filly from a fantastic Aga Khan family that includes Vadeni, a star of the European racing scene in 2022.

"The breeding stock market has begun strongly in Sydney with our Australian Weanling Sale and Australian Broodmare Sale and I have no doubt buyers will find plenty of appealing opportunities in the Great Southern catalogue.''

The Burnewang North filly is one of two Frankel youngsters to be offered at Oaklands Junction during the 378-lot weanling sale that begins on June 8 and continues on June 9, when the 41-lot broodmare session will also be held.

In all, Burnewang North will offer 14 weanlings with Kingman, Written Tycoon, Shamus Award, Maurice and Dundeel among the other stallions represented in its draft.

Progeny by proven stallions including Zoustar, So You Think, Toronado, Russian Revolution, Lonhro and Street Boss will also be offered along with and exciting group of first crop sires such as Bivouac, Farnan, King's Legacy and Ole Kirk.

Among the broodmare offerings are mares in foal to the likes of So You Think, Russian Revolution, Toronado, Wootton Bassett, Pierro, Nicconi, Hellbent, Wild Ruler, Trapeze Artist, Harry Angel and European sire sensation Blue Point.

The Great Southern Sale catalogue is available now via the Inglis website.
