The catalogue for the 2026 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale was released on 16 November 2025. Since that time, a number of yearlings set to pass through the ring at Inglis Riverside have had their pedigrees enhanced, an important consideration for both vendors and buyers alike.
Lot 50 – Time To Reign x Guapa (USA) (Rock Hard Ten {USA}), filly – on account of Glenbeigh Farm
This filly’s dam is already a proven producer of winners, with all five of her foals to the track being winners. The best of them, dual Group 3 winner Chica Fuerte (Hinchinbrook), has struck gold with her second foal, Invicto (I Am Invincible).

Trained by Ciaron Maher, the juvenile colt was a smart jump-out winner ahead of his debut a fortnight ago in the Listed Blue Diamond Preview (colts & geldings), where he tracked the leader well to finish third by two thirds of a length. The winner Alibaba (Alabama Express) will head to Sydney to chase the riches of the R. Listed Inglis Millennium, while Invicto remains committed to the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes path and has been entered in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (colts & geldings) this weekend.
Last year’s Blue Diamond winner Devil Night (Extreme Choice) broke his maiden in the Diamond, so it’s not an impossible feat - and there’s still time to add one more update to the page before sale day.
Lot 69 – Brave Smash (Jpn) x Honolulu Lass (Hinchinbrook), colt – on account of Yarraman Park Stud
This colt received a pedigree update worthy of any catalogue at the turn of the year when his older half-brother Zip Lock (Hellbent) was a winner on debut in November at Doomben, then accelerated away to win the G3 BJ McLachlan Stakes six weeks later on the Saturday after Christmas. It threw the Chris and Corey Munce-trained colt into justifiable favouritism for the R. Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic and while he didn’t show his best there, his return for the Queensland winter carnival (or even the spring) is highly anticipated.

Dam Honolulu Lass (Hinchinbrook) continues to have a magnificent record and can now tick off four runners for four winners. In addition, one of her sisters Reve de Victoire (Anabaa {USA}) produced a new stakes performer in 5-year-old Just Cruisin’ (Street Boss {USA}), who collected three placings at Listed level in quick succession.
Lot 190 – Trapeze Artist x Misplaced (Fastnet Rock), colt – on account of Widden Stud
This colt has had a twofold update courtesy of two closely related juveniles, chief of which is his impressive full sister Where’s The Circus (Trapeze Artist). Trained by Paul Murray, Where’s The Circus has ensured that her brother won’t be nearly as cheap of a purchase as herself, by running in the R. Listed Inglis Nursery on debut and winning in a spectacular fashion by over a length. She is one of two juvenile stakes winners for Trapeze Artist this season alone, with the addition of Chilly Girl in the G3 Widden Stakes last weekend.

The winner of over $230,000 in prize money in just one start, the filly lines up in the R. Listed Inglis Millennium this Saturday in the hopes of nabbing another update ahead of the sale.
To further bolster the page, this colt’s half-sister Can’t Find Snippy (Snippetson) has also produced a stakes-performed juvenile this season. Elusive Capital (Capitalist) debuted to a third placing on the Sunshine Coast in November and backed that up with a third in the Listed Phelan Ready Stakes in December.
