Inglis Easter Yearling Sales 2024
The wonderful Inglis Easter Sale is almost here. There are 500 Lots on offer. This is a recovery from 457 in 2023. There is somewhat a changing of the guard. A few old established sires have retired, and fresh youngsters have replaced them. I have selected four yearlings which based on pedigree are worth a look.
Lot 27 (b c Maurice – Fenway)
Maurice has produced to date 24 SW. Colts outnumber fillies 2 to 1. SW/r is 3.88%.
The cross of Maurice to the High Chaparral female line has already produced 2 SW.
- Shigeru Park Ruby won a G2 fillies race in Japan over1406m.
- Noah “N” Deal won L Tattersall’s Crown over 2113m.
The female line comes down through Denise’s Joy and is both prolific and high class. Six generation female index (6GFI) is 11.6%. There isn’t enough room in the catalogue. High achievers such as Primus, Thorn Park, Bentley Biscuit and Ego have been left out. Lot 27 has a PRI score of 97.5. Black Type territory.
Lot 28 ( b c Maurice – Fifteen Aria )
Following on the comments on Lot 27, Lot 28 comes from an interesting female line. The cross Maurice with the Danehill stallion Fastnet Rock has produced one SW.
- Danon Ayers Rock won a L race in Japan over 1811m as a 2yo.
The female line of Lot 28 has a very impressive 6GFI of 22.4%. The cross to O’Reilly raises a few yellow flags. Last Tycoon crosses sometimes fail to achieve a breeder’s expectations – but sometimes they make a champion. A PRI score of 88.8 somewhat reflects this.
Lot 414 ( b c Exceed and Excel -Allez Bien )
With Exceed and Excel being rested from further stud duties, this is a chance of owning one of his last progenies. The sire of 317 SW, it’s a good reason. Exceed and Excel has SW/r of 4.09%. The cross to O’Reilly has already produced two SW.
- Dublin Don was the winner of the G3 Pago Pago Stakes over1208m as a 2yo.
- Invictus Spirit won the L Starlight Stakes over1107m.
The female line of Lot 414 has a very encouraging 6GFI of 13.6%. The PRI score a healthy 94.2.
Lot 498 (ch c Per Incanto – Dreamlife)
Per Incanto had only a modest record as a racehorse. However, he seems to be making up for it as a sire. A SW/r ratio of 4.91 is up with the best of them. Of his 28 SW the best known is the Newmarket Handicap winner Roch ‘N’ Horse. The cross to Danroad has produced one winner.
- Lost and Running was successful in the G2 Workwear Premier Stakes 1208m.
The female line has a quite acceptable 6GFI of 5.31%. Lot 498 a PRI score on 98.3
The Inglis Easter Yearling Sale is always a great event If you can be there, good luck.
