Inglis will again hold the southern hemisphere’s premier breeding stock sale for 2012, the Australian Easter Broodmare Sale, in the week following ATC Derby Day at Randwick, but there will be a new look to the sale this year.

Oceanfast, a mare whose progeny have lit up the famous Newmarket sale ring on so many occasions, took centre stage herself today, topping the first day of the 2011 Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale. The dam of Alinghi sold for $700,000, carrying a positive test to top young Coolmore stallion Fastnet Rock.

The Supplementary catalogue for next week’s Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale is now online. Highlights include the Sydney Cup winner Jessicabeel and Group 2 winning filly Chance Bye.
