Pedigree Boosters: Inglis Chairman's Sale

2 min read
Ahead of the 2024 Inglis Chairman's Sale, we have found three mares who have had substantial pedigree updates over the past couple of months.

Since the catalogue for the 2024 Inglis Chairman's Sale has gone to print, a host of mares will go through the ring at the Riverside complex and have had their pedigrees enhanced, which is important information for vendors and buyers alike.

Lot 3 - Jervis Bay (Written Tycoon x Gold Anthem (Made Of Gold {USA}), mare - on account of the Newgate Consignment

This unraced daughter of Yulong’s Champion Sire Written Tycoon has had several notable pedigree updates since the 2024 Inglis Chairman’s Sale catalogue went to print. Jervis Bay’s sister Amicus (Fastnet Rock) is the dam of Chief Little Rock (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who finished third in April’s Listed Blue Riband Trial at Epsom.

Also in April, Jervis Bay’s relative Fearless (Pierata) was third in the G1 Champagne S. and Kirkuk (Smart Missile) broke his maiden at Hawkesbury.

Lot 9 - Magic Feathers (More Than Ready {USA} x Magic Art (Perugino {USA}), mare - on account of Davali Thoroughbreds

Magic Feathers received a huge update to her pedigree when her half-sister Chain Of Lighting (Fighting Sun) upstaged several high-profile rivals to win the G1 TJ Smith S. at Royal Randwick in April.

The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained daughter of Fighting Sun started her preparation with an unplaced run in the G1 Oakleigh Plate in February but headed to Sydney in March where Chain Of Lighting secured victory in the G3 Birthday Card S. before her TJ Smith S. performance.

The Group 3-winning So You Think (NZ) mare Banana Queen received some key updates since the 2024 Inglis Chairman’s Sale went to print. Her dam Tropicana Lady (Fastnet Rock) is a full sister to the Group 1 winner Irish Lights, who is the dam of Just Steel (USA) (Justify {USA}).

Just Steel was placed in the G1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park in late March. Alongside his victory in the Listed Edward Brown S. and efforts in the G3 Southwest S. and the Listed Smarty Jone S. saw Just Steel earn enough points to run in May’s Kentucky Derby.
