Investing in Fillies Can Pay Big Dividends

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 13

Now that the dust has settled from that stellar Inglis Chairman’s Sale last week, we thought it was worth taking a look back at the sale origins of the million dollar mares that were purchased as yearlings.

Bella Nipotina sold for $4.2million, but started life as an $80,000 Inglis Premier yearling.

Below are all the mares that sold for $1million or more off the track that were offered as yearlings with Too Darn Lizzie the highest priced yearling purchase and Grinzinger Belle the cheapest.

Too Darn Lizzie was a $1million Magic Millions purchase as a yearling.

What is interesting is that you don’t need a G1 win on the resume to sell for a million dollars or a lot more as an elite broodmare prospect.
