Significant international appeal in May (Late) catalogue

22nd May 2026

Fiorenza – a beautifully related “Chairman’s-quality’’ mare with significant international appeal – headlines the Inglis Digital May (Late) Online Sale catalogue, which is now open for bidding.

Fiorenza (pictured) is a daughter of world class sire Kingman, who is responsible for 109 Stakes winners worldwide, at a rate of almost 12% Stakes winners/runners, with two Australian G1 winners in King Colorado and Zardozi amongst his 14 career G1 winners to date.

Being offered as a racing and breeding prospect, Fiorenza is also a winning half sister to four-time G1 winner In Italian.

“Fiorenza is without doubt a Chairman’s-quality offering,’’ Inglis Bloodstock Sales Manager Harry Bailey said.

“She has an incredibly strong international pedigree, her page is packed with black type performers, among her siblings are two Australian Stakes performed 2YOs as well as the elite race mare In Italian, a four-time Group 1 winner for Chad Brown and Peter Brant on the turf in America.

“The pedigree improves year after year - there are three Group 1 winners in the first two dams, with 18 winning female descendants of her second dam Celebria while her siblings have sold up to $1.8m, $1.1m etc so it’s evidently a pedigree synonymous with racetrack and sale ring success.

“Physically she is exactly what you would hope to see — a quality mare with the elegance and refinement so typical of Kingman, combined with the strength and substance of Redoute’s Choice.

“She’s a quality individual with a good length of hip and strong hindquarter, a good shoulder angle and good action.

“Overall, she’s a well-balanced, attractive mare with an exceptional international pedigree and that makes her very appealing as a broodmare prospect, whether it’s in Australasia or internationally.”

West Of Swindon (Wootton Bassett) and Hidden Achievement (I Am Invincible) are two more valuable offerings in the May (Late) Sale.

West Of Swindon is a G2-winning 3YO colt that was G2 placed at two behind multiple G1 winner Beiwacht while Hidden Achievement is a lightly raced 3YO that finished 2nd to Cool Archie in the G1 JJ Atkins as a 2YO last season.

Both colts are fully vetted for Hong Kong and rated HK75 and HK72 respectively.

Another exciting offering in the catalogue is a stallion share in Sword Of State, the sire of two Stakes winners from his first five runners in Australia.

Sword Of State will stand at Cambridge Stud for the upcoming season at a fee of NZ$50,000+GST.

In total the May (Late) Sale consists of 398 lots – 145 racehorses (65 race fillies), 91 broodmares, 91 racehorse shares, 37 weanlings, 26 yearlings, 3 2YOs, 3 stallion shares and 2 stallion breeding rights.

The sale will close from 10am Thursday – a day later than usual – to avoid a clash with the National Broodmare Sale on the Gold Coast.
