Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch was “delighted” with the catalogue.

“The Inglis Chairman’s Sale is the most fun sale of the year, anywhere in the world and it provides an unparalleled experience for both vendors and buyers,’’ Hutch said.

“From what we understand is likely to be on the market in 2026, The Chairman’s Sale will contain a higher proportion of quality breeding stock available to the Australasian market than ever before.

“This is the 10th year of The Chairman’s Sale and the style of the evening has created an unrivalled atmosphere deserving of an annual celebration of some of the most desirable race fillies and mares in the world each year.

“In the first year, amongst the 61 fillies and mares offered, acting on behalf of Torryburn Stud, Belmont Bloodstock purchased Miss Interiors for $625,000 and she would go on to become the dam of G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Home Affairs, now a G1 Golden Slipper-winning sire with his first crop.

“The sale has been generating results of major significance, in terms of both the local and international bloodstock market, ever since.

“G1 Golden Slipper-winning colts, Stay Inside and Shinzo, were sold in utero at the sale while other mares offered at Chairman’s include the dams of subsequent G1 winners Autumn Glow, Imperatriz, Home Affairs, Apocalyptic, Caballus, She’s Extreme and international star In Italian amongst others.

“I have no doubt that in months and years to come, we’ll be talking about the 2026 Chairman’s Sale and the unbelievable results that breeders were able to achieve from being active participants in the auction.’’

Supplementary entries for The Chairman’s Sale will remain open until 5pm on Friday April 24.
