The 2015 Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale has moved into the 3 day Select Broodmare Session on Monday when the first group of 138 lots were sold for $6,878,600.
Competition was intense on the better quality offerings with local, interstate and overseas investors bidding on mares up to $605,000 and pushing
a share in proven stallion Sebring to $350,000.
“There certainly isn’t a lack of buyers here after quality mares and to vendors who have supported the sale it is pleasing to see many of the better lots sell for considerably more that the offers they were receiving on the private sale market before this week’s auction,” said Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster.

“Plenty of breeders are here to re-invest after a great yearling sales season, highlighting what a great opportunity this sale offers to vendors willing to offer their best broodmares and race fillies here in Sydney in May,” added Webster.
