Additions to the catalogue include Berimbau, the dam of 5-time G1 winning star Imperatriz, in foal to I Am Invincible and thus carrying a full sibling to the brilliant mare (pictured), G1-winning racemare Inspirational Girl and high-class Stakes winning fillies Scorched Earth and Dashing Legend.

*A breeding right in G1 sire sensation Toronado, which will open the sale as lot 1

The sale is further boosted by the addition of a share in New Zealand sire sensation Proisir to the supplementary catalogue.

Proisir is the sire of five individual G1 winners this season and will stand the 2023 breeding season at the career-high fee of NZ$70,000+GST at Rich Hill Stud in New Zealand.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch is excited for the sale, which has become one of the highlights on the international sales calendar.

“I didn’t think the catalogue could get any better following the initial launch, but there are some incredible lots in the supplementary and it’s shaping up to be a special occasion,” Hutch said.

“Elite mares like Berimbau – young, proven and in foal to a champion sire – rarely, if ever, come up for auction, so we are hugely grateful for the opportunity to bring her to market.

“The two most recent colts to win the G1 Golden Slipper, Stay Inside and Shinzo, were both sold in utero at the Chairman’s Sale and Berimbau is the sort of mare that could be carrying a Golden Slipper, a Golden Rose, a Coolmore or an Everest winner.

“The depth of quality through the catalogue is just incredible and there is great variety to it also, which is only enhanced by the addition of the likes of Inspirational Girl, Scored Earth and Dashing Legend.

“It’s going to be an occasion not to be missed,” said Hutch.
