“Inglis sold gallopers have consistently starred on racetracks throughout the globe since Choisir cut a swathe through Royal Ascot eight years ago,” said Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster.
“The whole of Australasia will no doubt be watching Black Caviar closely the next few months as she prepares for Royal Ascot with runs in Melbourne earlier next year.
“Breeders in this region are blessed with unparalleled access to the best bloodlines of both hemispheres and combined with the advantages of the Australasian environment, will no doubt continue to produce world class gallopers like South African Horse Of the Year Igugu.
“Tattersall’s October, Keenland September and Inglis Easter are the benchmark for this wonderful global industry, and we very much look forward to welcoming new and existing customers to Sydney next April.”
