The auction will be held at Riverside Stables on the evening of Thursday May 9 from 5pm.
Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch described the catalogue as “overwhelmingly good”.
“It is so incredibly rare that so many good fillies and mares would come up for public auction in a given year anywhere in the world – let alone all in the one place on the one night – so it is really very exciting,’’ Hutch said.
“The Chairman’s Sale has grown into a must-attend event in a very short space of time, I think it’s fair to say it’s recognised as the most enjoyable evening on the Australian sales calendar, it’s a lot of fun, effectively a cocktail party with a horse sale added in which is a concept the marketplace has really warmed to.
“We’ve received wonderful support for this year’s catalogue again – every lot makes significant appeal in its own particular way. It’s a boutique sale and we’re thrilled with the variety and depth of quality on offer, it’s a sale sure to attract engagement from every major breeding operation in the world.
“We will be accepting supplementary entries for the next month, so if you want to be involved in the sale as a seller, I encourage you to get in touch with a member of the bloodstock team as soon as possible.’’
Supplementary entries for the Chairman’s Sale will remain open until 5pm on Friday April 26.
