The first of more than 880 horses have arrived at Newmarket ahead of the 2016 Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale, for which the first day of inspections will kick off from 9am tomorrow, Wednesday 27 April.
880 lots have been catalogued for the Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale, which will again run over four days, on 1, 2, 3 and 4 May. The Newmarket sale ring in Sydney will light up with weanlings and broodmares from some of Australia’s best families.
Melbourne trainer Ciaron Maher has provided an update on the progress of boom filly Petits Filous (Street Boss-Excellent Lady, by Exceed and Excel) who makes her Group 1 debut in tomorrow night's Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley.
Trainer Robert Smerdon says that boom filly Fontiton (Turffontein-Personal Ensign, by Rubiton) will have to produce her best performance to date when she takes on a high class field of sprinters in Friday night's Gr1Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley.
Chautauqua, one of the world's highest-ranked sprinters, galloped into favouritism for the $1 million Newmarket Handicap next month when he resumed with a narrow but impressive win in the group 2 Rubiton Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.
