The lucrative Inglis Race Series ventures to the picturesque Sale Turf Club this Sunday for the running of the $100,000 Turnbull Toyota Inglis Trophy, which will be preceded by the auctioning of an unbroken two-year-old colt by Swettenham Stud stallion Host.
Group 1 winning Bel Esprit mare Bel Mer became the top priced lot at this year’s Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale when Patinack Farm went to $1,050,000 to secure her this afternoon.
As the hammer fell on the final lot today, the curtains came down on what has unquestionably been the most successful fortnight in Australian thoroughbred sales history.
Day four and there was still ‘infinite’ action at the William Inglis & Son Australian Select Broodmare Sale with a further 140 lots sold for $9,322,500 at an average of $66,589 taking the overall tally to $37,271,950 for 539 lots and an average of $69,150
Strong from start to finish, the strength of the sale was once again emphasised, highlighted by Lot 968, today’s session topper.
