Dam of Saturday’s New Zealand 2YO G1 winner to be offered for sale
The Snitzel mare whose daughter won Saturday's Group 1 Sistema Stakes in New Zealand has been added to the catalogue for this year's Inglis Chairman's Sale.
Parmalove, the dam of Velocious, a daughter of Written Tycoon who won the Karaka Millions 2YO the start before Saturday's success, will join the likes of She's Extreme, Kimochi, Startantes and Pennyweka as likely sought-after lots at the sale that will be held in Sydney on May 9.
Parmalove, whose three to race are all two-year-old winners, will be offered in-foal to Group 1-producing stallion Satono Aladdin by Inglewood Stud.
"Velocious is a hugely exciting filly and Parmalove is a champion young producer and for an operation like ours, she's a valuable mare and we're just looking to spread the risk a little bit,'' Inglewood's Gus Wigley said.
"Selling her will allow us to buy some more mares and try to find our next Parmalove. It's as simple as that.
"I bought Parmalove on type, she's a magnificent big mare with plenty of substance and bone and she throws that to her foals.
"The timing of the Chairman's is perfect for us, we can sell Parmalove early and then have time and money to buy more mares in the weeks afterwards. It's a sale with all the biggest buyers from around the world and we can't wait to have our first offering there.''
Parmalove is one of several key recent additions to the Chairman's catalogue with Autumn Ballet announced as an entry just days after the running of the Group 3 Black Opal Stakes – the race she historically won on debut last year.
The three-year-old daughter of The Autumn Sun also won last year's Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes, defeating Estriella and Kimochi.
Stakes-winning Deep Field five-year-old A Very Fine Red and Spirit Of Boom filly De Sonic Boom, who won the Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview on debut and was twice placed in Stakes grade last spring, have also joined the Chairman's Sale.
They will be offered as part of the Glenesk Thoroughbreds draft, which also includes Group 2 winner Steinem, a daughter of Frankel, and Oakleigh Plate winner Portland Sky's dam Sky Rumba.
