Triple Honour's Dam In Easter Broodmare Sale

27th Apr 2008

Myrrh, the dam of Saturday’s Group 1 $1.8million Doncaster Handicap winner Triple Honour, is to be sold at next week’s William Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale.

The Nassipour mare joins an elite list of supplementary entries for the sale, which begins this Sunday, May 4.

Myrrh will be offered for sale by Chatswood Stud (as agent) and is in foal to Caulfield Guineas winner God’s Own, which will make the resultant foal a three-quarter relation to Triple Honour, as both are descendants of Danehill line stallions.

Myrrh’s sale will complete the full circle for the family at Newmarket, as Triple Honour was sold through the same ring for just $50,000 at the 2006 Inglis Classic Sale.

She will be sold with the other supplementary entries immediately prior to the Swettenham Stud Dispersal this Sunday afternoon.

Myrrh’s addition to the sale follows news that Group 1 performed mares Ain’t Seen Nothin’ (in foal to Starcraft), Perfect Drop and Rena’s Lady had also been supplemented to the sale.

Rena’s Lady and Perfect Drop ran the quinella in last year’s G1 AJC Australian Oaks and Rena’s Lady’s appeal may get even stronger should her younger full-sister Raise win the Oaks on Wednesday.

Other supplementary entries are the well-related Nobody Listens, Mountcat (in foal to Dansili and to be offered with the quarantine mares) and Jade Tiara, dam of World Champion Sprinter Silent Witness and in foal to Australia’s Champion sire elect, Encosta De Lago.

“We are thrilled to have received such quality supplementary entries to what was already a very strong sale,” William Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster said.

The sale additions also includes two mares being offered with foals at foot – the Snippets mare Foil with a Flying Spur filly and Street Walk (from the family of Marauding) with a Fastnet Rock filly, a mating that should appeal to pedigree purists.

The William Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale begins from 10.30am Sunday May 4 and through May 5 and 6.
