Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital announce online sale of Southern Hemisphere mares

Media Release - Saturday August 31

Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital have announced plans to collaborate on an online sale of mares covered on Southern Hemisphere time.

The sale, which is the first of its kind within the global thoroughbred industry, will be held on the Tattersalls Online platform and will feature as the headline session of the Tattersalls Online December Sale on 11th – 12th December.

The joint venture between two of the world’s leading thoroughbred auction houses presents an exclusive opportunity to purchase mares that have been covered by European and American-based stallions standing to Southern Hemisphere time.

Following discussions with breeders and industry participants in both hemispheres, the sale has been created to meet demand for mares in foal to leading Northern Hemisphere-based sires including, Frankel (pictured), Justify, Kingman, Lope de Vega, Night of Thunder, Siyouni, and Too Darn Hot, all of whom have already sired Group 1 winners in Australia.

With entries to be announced at the end of November, the timing of the sale will allow for agents and buyers attending the Tattersalls December Mares Sale to inspect prospective mares at the same time and is perfectly timed for those wishing to avail of flights departing for the Southern Hemisphere after the European breeding stock sales have taken place.

Katherine Sheridan, Tattersalls Online Sales Manager, commented: "Tattersalls and Inglis have extremely close ties and we are very excited to collaborate with them on this unique and exciting concept.

"Both Inglis and Tattersalls are leaders in the world of thoroughbred online sales and this venture presents a very rare opportunity to combine our expertise and international connections to meet the demands of the global market.

"Following initial discussions with breeders and industry participants, the concept has been very well received and we anticipate the sale will attract a unique offering of mares with Southern Hemisphere appeal to be offered on the Tattersalls Online platform."

Sebastian Hutch, Inglis Bloodstock CEO said: “Inglis and Tattersalls have an historic relationship which is mutually beneficial. We discuss ideas regularly and felt that this sale presented an ideal opportunity for us to collaborate and pool our collective resources.

"There are some tremendous stallions in the Northern Hemisphere which are available to use on Southern Hemisphere time and typically the demand for mares carrying high profile covers is strong.

"Our feeling is that a sale such as this is going to present an appealing market for both vendors and buyers.”
