“When you look at those stallions at the top end of the market, Extreme Choice is younger than all of them and he’s already provided Group 1 horses. Glenlogan have a number of very high-class mares and from a long-term point of view, we think we will be able to get some great results with Extreme Choice in the next say eight-to-10 years.
“The beauty of Inglis Digital is it’s very easy to use and it gives opportunities to both buyers and sellers all throughout the year, twice a month.”
