7th Aug 2026

A Cornerstone Stud dispersal of 34 lots, a three-quarter sister to Home Affairs and shares in a last-start G1 winner headline a large and diverse Inglis Digital August (Early) Online Sale catalogue, which is now open for bidding.

The South Australian nursery Cornerstone is dispersing its entire commercial breeding portfolio featuring broodmares, 2YOs, yearlings and weanlings.

The dispersal includes Stakes producers, relations to Stakes winners and mares in foal to the likes of Chaldean, Celestial Legend, Starlust and Storm Boy as well as 2YOs and yearlings by the likes of Bivouac, Chaldean, Pinatubo and Pierro.

One of the many highlights in the Cornerstone draft is Jest Excel (Exceed And Excel), the dam of G3-winning 2YO Shiki and whose 2026 yearling realised $380,000.

All the Cornerstone offerings are being offered unreserved with the exception of the stallion shares in Nicconi, Fierce Impact and Rebel Dane.
