First ever Southern Hemisphere draft to be offered at Inglis Chairman's Sale
Juddmonte Farms will offer three mares, under the Twin Hills banner, at the forthcoming Inglis Chairman's Sale, the first time that Juddmonte have ever offered a draft of mares in the Southern Hemisphere. The mares will be offered in foal to Juddmonte's leading sires Frankel (Galileo) and Kingman (Invincible Spirit).
The trio comprises Escapement (Invincible Spirit), a half-sister to Group 1 winners Timepiece (Zamindar) and Passage Of Time (Dansili); dam of exciting young shuttler Time Test (Dubawi) and she will be offered in foal to Frankel.
Also in foal to Frankel is Lucid Dreamer (Dansili). An unbeaten two-year-old by leading broodmare sire Dansili (Danehill), Lucid Dreamer is carrying a close relation to Group 1 winner and young sire Logician (Frankel).
The draft is completed by Ludisia (Frankel) who is out of Group 1 winning champion sprinter African Rose (Observatory). A sister to Royal Ascot Group 2 winning two-year-old Fair Eva (Frankel), Ludisia is also a half-sister to the dam of last year's European champion two-year-old Native Trail (Oasis Dream). She is being offered in foal to Kingman and the resultant foal will be a close relation to young sire Calyx (Kingman).
"The development of the Inglis Chairman's sale over the past few years has been noteworthy, making it an obvious choice for Juddmonte to showcase a select group of mares from some of our most established families,'' Juddmonte's UK Stud Director Simon Mockridge said.
"The mares to be consigned under Olly Tait's Twin Hills banner represent a unique opportunity for the Australian market to appraise and invest into deep Juddmonte pedigrees honed over generations and carrying to two elite international sires.
"Over the years, Juddmonte families have enjoyed great success in Australia/New Zealand through the likes of Group 1 winners Makybe Diva, Mr Baritone, Leicester, Kings Will Dream, Royal Performer and Queen Supreme and these results have been further buoyed by the emergence of Frankel and Kingman as sires of significant importance to the market.
"From relatively limited opportunities Frankel has made a sensational start in Australia with a staggering 30% black type performers/runners and world class 13% Group winners/runners including the likes of multiple Group 1 winners Converge and Hungry Heart.''
