James Harron said, "The Inglis Chairman's Sale has revolutionised the sale of racing prospects, giving buyers and vendors the transparency offered by public auction, and I am delighted to present three lightly-raced and physically outstanding colts, each by an Australian Champion Sire."

A $1.2 milllion Inglis Easter yearling from one of Australia's very best families, Siege of Quebec ((image Steve Hart) has twice placed at stakes level, including when second to Kementari in the Group III ATC  Eskimo Prince Stakes.
