Easter Broodmare Catalogue Out

9th Mar 2010

The catalogue for the 2010 Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale has now been released and boasts 83 stakes winners, of which 11 have won Group 1 races. It also includes a significant 446 half or full relations to stakes winners, including 121 Group 1 winners.

The sale will be held at Newmarket from April 13 to 16 and comprises 948 mares.

Since cataloguing there have already been a number of important updates.

Charge Forward filly Solar Charged (pictured) galloped her way to Golden Slipper favouritism with a dominant display to win the G3 Kindergarten Stakes at Warwick Farm on Saturday.

No less than three mares in the Easter catalogue are beneficiaries of the John O’Shea trained filly’s rise to stardom.

Lot 446 is Solar Charged’s dam, the Danehill mare Soul Singer to be offered by Vinery Stud. Significantly, she is in foal to Charge Forward, thus carrying a full-relation to the Slipper favourite.

Lot 447 is Soulful, an Octagonal half-sister to Soul Singer, to be offered by Amarina Farm in foal to young Coolmore stallion Aussie Rules.

Lot 590 is Causeway Queen, a Giant’s Causeway dual stakes winning half-sister to Solar Charged.

The Easter Broodmare updates kept coming at Morphettville yesterday.

Majestic Music added a fifth stakes victory when winning the Group 2 Yallambee Stakes and now has Group One glory in her sights. Lot 125 is Tobouggie Woogie, a Tobougg half-sister to Majestic Music who is being sold as a racing and breeding proposition, as part of Toorak Park Stud’s unreserved dispersal sale.

Adelaide Cup winner Capecover has two half-sisters for sale including Lot 496 the Group 1 Auckland Cup winner Upsetthym (by Rhythm) selling in foal to the Golden Slipper winner Sebring. Lot 848 is the unraced Traditionally mare Miss Dodds, who will be offered in the general session.

An outstanding array of both broodmare and covering sires are represented throughout the catalogue.

A feature of the mares with foals at foot will be Irish bred Indian Ridge mare Indian Dream Lot 37, who will be sold with a bay colt at foot by Wanted’s sire Fastnet Rock, who in addition is represented by 18 mares in foal.

“The catalogue assembled is quality from start to finish and all breeders will find themselves a suitable broodmare prospect for their budget at this year’s sale” said Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster.
