The Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale was topped last year by the first foal of a Group I winner, so we’d take a look at the first foals of Group I winning mares that will have progeny sell over the next two days.
Lot 15 offered by Arrowfield Stud is a Snitzel colt from Pierro’s Group I VRC Oaks winner Pinot.
Pinot is from Group I Australian Oaks winner Damzelle and her first two dams are by champion sires Zabeel and Danehill.
Lot 71 offered by Cressfield is an I Am Invincible colt from brilliant Group I winning sprinter Secret Agenda, winner of the SAJC Ubet Classic.
Secret Agenda is a full sister to Group II placed Stellar Pauline and to the dam of this season’s Group III winning 2YO Enthaar.
Lot 128 from Lime Country Thoroughbreds is a stunning I Am Invincible colt from Kiwi Group I winner Thee Auld Floozie.
First three dams all stakes-winners and every reason to think this colt can follow suit!
Lot 178 from Arrowfield Stud is a rare jewel being a Deep Impact filly from Group I Schweppes Oaks winner Abbey Marie, a daughter of champion sire Redoute’s Choice.
Dam is a full sister to Group I Australian Oaks winner Absolutely from an international family that also produced last year’s Doncaster winner Nettoyer.
Lot 236 from Arrowfield Stud is a Snitzel colt from Champion South African Sprinter of 2016/2017 Carry on Alice, a winner of 11 races, five of them at Group I level!

Catchy has been given every opportunity to succeed and has a filly to follow by Zoustar and is in foal to Too Darn Hot (GB).
Lot 324 from Coolmore is the only Tapit in the sale, a colt from South American Group I winner Greta G.
A dashing grey as you would expect by this sire, the colt is from a genuinely top class South American female family bristling in Group I winners.
Lot 384 from Fairview Park Stud a cracking Pierro colt from Group I VRC Lasqueti Spirit.
Lasqueti Spirit was famous for winning her Oaks with a bold front running display at long odds, but she also placed in two more Group I races proving her class.
