2024 Inglis Premier – The Sire Break Up

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 12

The 2024 Inglis Premier Yearling catalogue has been released with 800 youngsters and we know we’re in Victoria when the top seven sires by representation are all Victorian based.

Rosemont Stud is set to play a major role with Shamus Award the most represented sire with 32 lots followed by their first season young gun Hanseatic with 30.

Inglis Premier sires seven or more.

This crop of yearlings by Cox Plate winner Shamus Award are from his biggest ever foal crop conceived at a fee of $33,000 in 2021 when his star stayer Incentivise was cutting a swathe through the Melbourn Spring Carnival racking up three Group I wins including the Caulfield Cup before a gallant second in the Melbourne Cup.

Whatever you may think of Shamus Award as a sire, the actual facts are well worth noting. This stallion runs at nearly 7% SW to runner which is higher than a lot of proven stallions the market sees more favourably and his current two, three and four year-olds were all conceived at modest fees $19,800 (2YO’s) and $11,000 (3YO and 4YO’s), so quality partners were lacking.

His 24 stakes-winners so far include five Group I winners and three of them are multiple Group I winners – Incentivise, Duais, Mr Quickie - capable of competing against the best horses in the country in the best WFA races as older horses, again something that a lot of our commercial darling sires can’t hope to offer.

Shamus Award will get more top line horses and there is every chance you will find one at Inglis Premier.

Alabama Express is the leading first crop sire in Australia by earnings and has three winners.

Alabama Express with 21 yearlings will be a big drawcard for Inglis Premier as there are very few in the other sales, so if you’re a fan you’ll be heading to Oaklands with bells on!
