Sale Overview

The catalogue for the 2015 Inglis August Thoroughbred Sale, to be held at Oakland’s Junction in Melbourne on 21 August, is now online featuring quality broodmares, racing prospects, stallion shares and stallion nominations.

Having sold the Group 1 Queensland Derby winner Sonntag at the equivalent sale in 2013, Darley are once again presenting a bumper draft of quality racehorses. Lot 151 is Alaska, a three-year-old gelding by Medaglia d’Oro that is a half-brother to three stakeswinners. Also by Medaglia d’Oro is the lightly raced two-year-old colt Heroism, from the family of Denman, which will be offered as Lot 156. Chiaramonte (Lot 75), the well-related stakes-winning Redoute’s Choice colt will be offered as a stallion prospect.

Another highlight of the catalogue is the Northern Lodge dispersal, featuring 19 superior broodmares, the majority of which are proven producers, in foal to Sebring, Written Tycoon, Nicconi, Wanted, Bel Esprit, Star Witness and Turffontein. The Northern Lodge draft will conclude with an offering of shares in hot sires Sebring, Nicconi and Star Witness.
