Exceptional depth in March (Late) Online Sale

Media Release - Friday March 22

A recent Royal Ascot winner, a dual Group-producing mare, a stallion share in Better Than Ready and mares carrying pregnancies to the likes of Justify and Russian Revolution headline a stellar catalogue for the Inglis Digital March (Late) Online Sale.

Okita Soushi (Galileo) is a lightly raced stallion prospect with strong domestic and international form.

Okita Soushi (IRE) is a blue blood staying prospect.

The Joseph O’Brien trainee won at the prestigious Royal Ascot carnival in June last year under the guidance of world class jockey Ryan Moore, before finishing 3rd in the G3 Irish St Leger trial.

He then travelled to Australia and finished behind champion stayer Without A Fight in both the G1 Caulfield Cup and G1 Melbourne Cup.

The 6YO is again considered a Cups contender for 2024.

Rose Of Mulan (More Than Ready) is the dam of six-time Stakes winner and $1.1m earner Scallopini as well as G2 winner and $1.6m broodmare Shades of Rose (pictured).

She has an incredible 50% Stakes winners-to-runners strike rate with her progeny and is offered in foal to exciting stallion Hellbent.

The Better Than Ready stallion share will provide buyers a chance to secure a slice of the quality Queensland-based stallion, who has produced more Australian 2YO winners (64) since the start of the 2020/21 season than any other stallion.

Yearlings by Better Than Ready – the sire of G1 winner Apache Chase - have sold up to $530,000 since 2023 while his progeny earnings are in excess of $40,000,000.
