Wildcards Set to Add to Chairman's Allure

Following the announcement of the latest key additions to the gathering ensemble for the 2021 renewal of the Inglis Chairman’s sale (see above item), Inglis’ Bloodstock Consultant Harry Bailey was keen to remind buyers that there remain opportunities to be a part of what is set to be a spectacular sale. “Maastricht topped the sale in 2019 as a wildcard lot and there is still time to be a part of what is going to be a special night,” Bailey enthused. “We have worked hard to collate what we believe is a world-class catalogue of fillies and mares and we are extremely humbled that so many breeders, trainers and owners have entrusted Inglis to sell their best stock. The marketing that has already been done and will continue to be done in the coming seven weeks leading to the sale will ensure every breeder in the world is aware of this sale and the extreme quality on offer.” Bailey revealed, “We have big plans for the sale night – it’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun – and I think it’s going to be a sale that no one will want to miss.” In the past two editions of the Chairman’s Sale, the average price for race fillies and race mares is over $545,000, while three of the four highest-priced pregnant mares sold at public auction in Australasia in 2019 and 2020 were sold at the Chairman’s Sale. The Chairman’s Sale will this year be held as a live auction at Riverside on the evening of Friday May 7. Wildcard entries for the Chairman’s Sale, as well as the Australian Weanling Sale and the Australian Broodmare Sale will close on April 23.
