Bella Nipotina tonight became the equal third-most expensive mare ever sold in the Southern Hemisphere when realising $4.2m on a record-breaking evening at the Chairman’s Sale.
Superstar mare Amelia’s Jewel (Siyouni), a G1 winner of over $4.1m in prizemoney, will join what is already a stellar cast for the Inglis Chairman’s Sale to be held at Riverside Stables in Sydney on May 8.
She was the centre of attention in the lead-up and Burnewang North’s Frankel x Vedema filly didn’t disappoint, setting multiple new benchmarks on a record-breaking Day 1 of the Great Southern Sale at Oaklands.
The most successful Classic Sale in history ended this evening with multiple records smashed and a huge cross-section of participants on both sides of the industry ledger enjoying remarkable outcomes.
