After an extraordinary day of selling on day one of the 2026 Inglis Easter yearling sale, the heightened anticipation turned into relief and over riding joy for many vendors when prices soared.
A top price of $3m was achieved for one of the anticipated Hot Lots with Lime Country Thoroughbreds’ Lot 26, the Extreme Choice x Pretty Brazen colt knocked down to Coolmore’s Tom Magnier, while the average price of $457,361 bettered the figure achieved 12 months prior on day one, with an overall gross just shy of $66m achieved.
With 262 lots catalogued on day two of the sale, it looks as if we can expect much of the same if not more, and the Inglis staff have highlighted a few potential ‘Hot Lots’ to watch.
Lot 255: Extreme Choice x Cicatrix (USA) filly, Newgate Farm
With the success of Extreme Choice on the opening day of the Inglis Easter yearling sale, selling up to a record breaking $3m and averaging $1.9m for his three lots sold, his final seven lots to sell on day two kick off with Newgate Farm’s well-related Lot 255.
A half-brother to the G1 Golden Rose third placed Mayfair, this filly is out of the imported, Listed-wining Violence mare Cicatrix (USA), and with mares carrying the USA suffix having produced the likes of Australian G1 winners Treasurethe Moment, Manaal, Wild Ruler, Russian Revolution, State Of Rest, Forbidden Love and Lighthouse, this filly is sure to appeal.
Lot 266: Zoustar x Daysee Doom filly, by Widden Stud
With the yearlings by Widden Stud’s reigning Champion Sire Zoustar selling up to $1.8m on day one of the sale, Lot 266 is the fourth foal of the G1 Coolmore Classic-winning Domesday Daysee Doom, a mare the farm purchased for $1.1m at the 2022 Inglis Chairman’s Sale.
A three-quarter-sister to Listed winners Simply and Villens, Daysee Doom is the dam of two winners from two to the track, and with no current 2yo, the current 3yo from the mare is the stakes placed Wootton Bassett (GB) colt Ruination.
Lot 288: Too Darn Hot (GB) x Enbihaar colt, Widden Stud
Recording his sixth individual G1 winner overnight when he son Native Approach captured the G1 Al Quoz Sprint at Maydan, Too Darn Hot (GB) is represented by some very nice yearlings at this year’s Inglis Easter sale, none more so than Widden Stud’s full-brother to G2-winning, G1 placed Too Darn Lizzie, herself a $1m yearling.
The fourth foal of the G2-winning, G1 Blue Diamond placed Magnus mare Enbihaar, the current 3yo out of the mare added a small update recently, breaking his maiden last week for Golden Slipper winning trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr.
Lot 293: Justify (USA) x Ennis Hill filly, by Coolmore
It’s the family that just keeps giving at Inglis Easter with full sister to Champion 2YO Filly Learning To Fly se to star. From the final Australian conceived crop of Coolmore’s Justify (USA), the sire of 10 individual G1 winners, Lot 293 is fourth filly out of the well-related G3-winning Fastnet Rock mare Ennis Hill.
Stakes placed on debut, Lot 293’s half-sister Free Flying (Snitzel) joins close relation La Gitana (Home Affairs) as latest 2yo stakes performers from the family which includes Ozzmosis, Acrobat, Lake Geneva, Hips Don’t Lie, Acrobat, Splintex, Invinctus Salute, and many more. From a future broodmare perspective, you surely can’t go wrong securing a filly from this family.
Lot 436: Extreme Choice x Miss Exfactor colt, by Newgate Farm
The second last colt to be offered in the sale by his statistically outstanding sire Extreme Choice, from a farm that has raised three of the past six Golden Slipper winners, the Newgate Farm consigned Lot 436 is a bay colt out of the G3-winning Your Song mare Miss Exfactor, a half-sister to the G2-winning, G1 fourth placed Boogie Dancer.
From a fast family which includes G1 winner Jonker, G2 winner Impaler and the G3 winners Fiscal Fantasy and Fair Trade, it's a family which traces back to G1 sires Danewin and Commands. Bred on the same Extreme Choice x Danehill cross that has eight winners from 13 runners and four stakes winners led by dual G1 winner She’s Extreme.
Lot 451: Snitzel x Ms Bad Behavior (CAN) colt, by Arrowfield Stud
The last Arrowfield Stud-consigned colt by Snitzel in the sale, he's clearly a yearling that every has admired. The full-brother to the former Chris Waller trained Switzerland, himself a $1.5m Inglis Easter year who went on to become the fastest ever winner of the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes, before retiring to stud at Coolmore where he covered 195 mares in his first season at a fee of $60,500 (inc. GST).
The next two colts out of the mare have sold for a combined total of $3.25m and Inglis Easter and although the current 2yo St Gotthard is yet to race, he has had four handy trials for the Waller yard.
