It is hard to think of a better time to be involved in the great industry of horse racing.
Breeders are producing stock of great quality in signifcant quantities, buyers are getting access to the best stock that Australasian breeders have to ofer and owners are racing for record prizemoney.
Throw in the excitement of a new generation of racegoer that is frequenting the racetrack at regular intervals and the present and future of our industry looks to be in rude health.
From a sales perspective, never before has the market been so buoyant, with the near insatiable demand for quality racehorses of the future driving extraordinary demand in the market.
The sustained growth over many years reached a new crescendo in 2022 when Classic, Premier and Easter all set new benchmarks on multiple fronts.
And with the quality on ofer through each of Inglis’ yearling sales in 2023 again of the highest quality, we’re excited about the opportunities buyers will be aforded at both Riverside and Oaklands.
The strength of the 2023 Inglis catalogues is as exciting as I can remember.
The recent growth in the Classic and Premier Sales has led to an overwhelming demand by breeders to be included in the 2023 renewals while the Easter Yearling Sale continues to sit as the sale where vendors ofer their very best yearlings for sale.
Riverside and Oaklands will again both be a hive of activity as we welcome local, interstate and international visitors to consider the fnest yearlings from Australia and New Zealand throughout 2023.
One of many things we at Inglis strive to achieve on an ongoing basis is a positively memorable experience for our clients.
I am beyond proud of the efort that continues to go into this by the team as we continually look to make each and every client – no matter what side of the spectrum they are on – enjoy their dealings with the company.
Opportunities will abound as part of the Inglis yearling sales series in 2023, with the success of past graduates, at all price points, the fuel of dreams.
The pursuit of the next Nature Strip, Home Afairs, She’s Extreme, Mazu, Zougotcha or Lost And Running, the next great Inglis graduate, is what excites us all.
I wish you all the best for the season and look forward to seeing you at a sale soon.

In recent years, Classic Graduates have won ...
They don’t sell stallions at yearling sales, nor, sadly, crystal balls. You don’t win football premierships in April, socks come frst and then shoes, and another immutable says before anything runs it must walk - coincidentally the sole motion on which yearling selection is based.
But you can assess if yearlings have the physical form to suggest racetrack power - portending stud success later onand on that score the list of potent recent Inglis graduates is verging on the phenomenal.
Fastnet Rock, Exceed And Excel, I Am Invincible - three
champion modern sires. It’s a Holy Trinity of breeding, and sounds more than enough, but there are many, many more.
All Too Hard, Russian Revolution, Shamus Award, Deep Field, and throw in a little Hellbent and Flying Artie, too. Poised at the horizon are the likes of Trapeze Artist, Written By, The Autumn Sun and Ole Kirk. New to the barns are the most exciting Home Afairs, and the blistering Wild Ruler.
But there could be one to rule them all.
Luke Wilkinson didn’t just suspect hints of an athletic make-up one day at the Inglis Classic Sale under the old fg
tree. It smacked him between the eyes, and from long range.
“I was looking at yearlings at one barn and I saw a colt walking about 100 metres away. I just stopped what I was doing and said, ‘I’m gonna go fnd out what that is’,” the bloodstock buyer recalls, with a verve like it was yesterday, not 2015.
“He had everything in the right spot - a big bubble bum, a big shoulder. He wasn’t tall but he was a beautiful mover, and he walked like he had a turn of foot.”
Wilkinson and his then boss Mick Price were quickly convinced, enough to not even consider bloodlines.
“Mick used to say he didn’t get his 10 per cent trainer’s fee from the pedigree, he got it from the performance, so we needed to buy athletes,” Wilkinson says.
They bought the son of Not A Single Doubt for $100,000. He became Extreme Choice, won the Blue Diamond and Moir Stakes, and was bought by Newgate Farm and partners including the China Horse Club, in a deal valuing him well into the eight fgures.
While fertility problems soon became well known, when it works it’s become breeding gold. He claimed the First Season and 2YO Sires’ tables in 2021, rocketed to around an astounding 20 per cent for Stakes-winners-to-runners, and in his sixth season last spring (2022) commanded Australia’s highest advertised service fee of $275,000.
“He’s the smallest stallion we’ve got,” says Newgate’s Henry Field, “but his athleticism is immense. He’s bordering on a freakish sire, could easily be the best stallion in Australia, and is unquestionably the best young stallion in the country.
“The fertility issue, that’s part of the game sometimes. But if Northern Dancer could do it with 40 horses per crop, so can Extreme Choice. I think he’ll be a breed-shaping stallion.”
The Newgate-led syndicate itself has shaped a landscape in buying colts and has been followed by several more in recent years.
“The market’s a lot more competitive now than when we started, but that’s great for the market,” Field says. “But the beauty of the Australian market, as opposed to more owner-breeder places like Britain and America, is that just about every colt bred will go on the marketplace, so that gives everyone a chance.
“We take the view that the best racehorses make the best stallions, so we go to the sales trying to buy the colts who become the best racehorses, and to buy with an open mind. I try to look at horses and think why it could be a good horse, rather than why it won’t. You hope for horses with great pedigrees that are excellent value, but I’ll never compromise on buying the horse that’s uber athletic.”
Newgate’s barn sparkles with Inglis graduates, whose value as stallions now multiplies many times over their
original purchase price: Deep Field (who sold at Easter 2012 for $440,000), Flying Artie (Easter 2015, $50,000), Wild Ruler (Easter 2019, $525,000), Cosmic Force (Classic 2018, $180,000), and another potential boom stallion who reigns as Champion First Season Sire, Russian Revolution (Easter 2015, $320,000).
“We bought Russian Revolution in our frst year of putting together our colts syndicate,” Field says of the “incredibly athletic” yearling who became a dual G1 winner. “It’s a huge result to have the Champion First Season Sire from your frst Inglis sale when shopping for colts, and we’ve had lots of success since.”
I Am Invincible, who last year claimed his frst and unlikely his last General Sires table, was bought in 2006 for just $62,500 at Inglis Classic where, his buyer Toby Edmonds says, there are “really good bargains all the time”. Yarraman Park bought in, mostly due to his sire Invincible Spirit, with modest hopes for the mere G3 winner.
“We knew he was good looking, then his foals were good looking, and had ability, but we’d have been delighted to have a nice, bread-and-butter, $20,000 to $30,000 service fee stallion,” says Yarraman’s Arthur Mitchell. “Now, he’s one of those freaks.”
I Am Invincible’s frst season fee was $11,000. He now stands for $247,500, and alongside his son Hellbent, a $95,000 Inglis Classic yearling who did win a G1. Hellbent is covering full books at $22,000 per service, and came with a rush to fnish fourth among frst season sires last year.“I’m pretty impressed with Hellbent,” says Wilkinson. “His progeny are going to become more difcult to buy pretty quickly.
“Likewise for Russian Revolution. And I’m also kicking myself because I really liked Shamus Award a couple of years ago but didn’t buy enough of them. He’s really come on,” he said of Rosemont Stud’s sire of staying G1 heroes Incentivise and Duais.
Many other learned judges predict more big things for Russian Revolution.
“He hit a couple of benchmarks that all successful stallions pretty much meet,” says bloodstock agent Sheamus Mills. “They hit a million dollars in progeny earnings in their frst year ($1.8m in fact), and had at least two Stakes winners. The list of stallions who’ve achieved that is very impressive.
“And he’s a sire with plenty of upside, because I think breeders mated to him much better in his subsequent crops.”
Mills is similarly bullish over Blue Diamond-winning Inglis Premier graduate Written By, whose frst crop averaged $133,000 at last season’s yearling sales of a $24,750 service fee.
“I can’t remember a stallion with such consistently good sorts from his frst crop,” Mills says. “Breeders work out mare types for stallions as they go on, but with him, it didn’t seem to matter.”
Those young ones have just started in hope of following
Image: Sharon Chapman and Newgate Farma path blazed by the greats, two of whom are still going phenomenally strongly, afer much dual hemisphere success, in their early 20s: Darley’s Exceed And Excel - the frst Australian-bred to sire more than 200 stakes winnersand Fastnet Rock, another Easter graduate with a stunning 42 G1 winners, more than double Australia’s second-best living stallion (Snitzel, with 18).
“He was one of the early reverse shuttlers and when the European market were sceptical about Australian horses,” Darley’s Alastair Pulford says of Exceed And Excel. “But he’s proven a great stallion in both hemispheres.”
Coolmore’s Colm Santry says the stud’s bosses are confdent Home Afairs will become the next big thing, for the same reasons they believed in Fastnet Rock.
“Fastnet’s sire line, race record and pedigree gave us great confdence, and it’s the same with Home Afairs. These champion
three-year-old colts in this country tend to make sires, and it was Home Afairs and Anamoe who were the cream of their crop,” says Santry, whose view is held by others including major buyer James Harron.
“In terms of racing ability he was dominant,” says Harron, citing his “almighty victory” in Flemington’s G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes against the best of his age, and his “tremendous” WFA win over Nature Strip in the Lightning Stakes at the same course.
“And physically, he’s an imposing, masculine horse, with great presence and strength - very much in the Australian speed mould which everyone is always looking to replicate. He’s by one of the dominant stallions of recent years in I Am Invincible, and from an outstanding female line. His dam is a half sister to the very promising stallion Russian Revolution, and hails from the hallowed Fanfreluche family. He’s an outstanding prospect for Australian breeding.”
RUPERT Legh’s bold colours — navy blue with gold lightning bolt — have graced a procession of winners over three decades, among them stallion prospects like Grunt, Brutal and Alabama Express.
But if there is one great horse Legh loves more than the many very good ones he has raced with friends, it’s the wonderful grey whose swooping late run was one of sport’s fnest sights.
Before Chautauqua insisted on retiring himself a season or two early, his thunderbolt fnishes were displays of
superiority ofen as dominant as those of Winx or Street Cry’s other freakish daughter, Zenyatta.
History will record Chautauqua as one of Inglis’s best graduates and Legh as one of the most successful owners in the game — one who scans catalogues and studs to fnd another one like the greatest grey since Gunsynd.
Even the powerful Legh camp might be hard pressed to fnd another to match him. But they’ll keep trying.
Meanwhile, “Club Legh” has found another Inglis Premier star in the explosive sprinter Masked Crusader.
From the Bee Gees to the Gee Gees
Bred by Rick Jamieson’s Gilgai Farm — which retained a share in the Toronado yearling sold for $340,000 — Masked Crusader has stamped himself one of the nation’s most exciting sprinters the past two seasons, memorably almost running down world sprint champion Nature Strip in the 2021 edition of The Everest.
“Missed by half an inch!,” Legh says of the gelding who’s a pure racehorse, not a carefully placed stallion-in-waiting. He recalls seeing the Toronado yearling with John Hawkes at his friend Jamieson’s showpiece stud at Nagambie, and wanting him.
“In the end, we paid unders,” he enthuses. “Toronado hadn’t set the world on fre then but John liked this colt. I already had a group ready to go — Neil Werrett, Peter Orton, Colin Madden and the crew.”
As Legh ofen says, he’s “not a syndicator”. But since putting together a group of owners for his frst horses 40 years ago, he has loved bringing old friends on board and making new ones by getting them into gallopers. Fellow owners range from captains of industry to suburban footy club mates who pool resources to take a share in a Legh blueblood.
Masked Crusader became one of 78 Inglis graduates to win in G1 company since 2018 when taking out the 2021 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley, a performance to match his eyecatching name and conformation.
As for his part-owner, the name R.P. Legh is now a fxture in racebooks and form guides, as familiar as those lightning bolt colours. But Legh wasn’t born to racing and came to it relatively late.
Like Chautauqua, a rugged athlete with aristocratic bloodlines, Legh also has some street fghter in him. He, too, came from behind and doesn’t mind a scrap.
Rupert Pennington Legh was born to English parents in the Solomon Islands in 1950, started primary school at Humpybong in suburban Brisbane, started high school at Yarrawonga and fnished it at Elwood in Melbourne.
Humpybong, which also launched the Gibb brothers as the Bee Gees, was a seaside school whose uniform was blue and gold — the inspiration for Legh’s racing colours. But, whereas the Gibbs went back to the UK to make their names, the Legh kids stayed in Australia with their mother.
Racing writer Matt Stewart quipped of Legh’s pedigree: “By James Bond out of Amelia Earhart.”
Legh’s father, Peter Pennington-Legh, sprang from an aristocratic family whose history is entwined with the great and the good in British history. He was one of the fortunate
fghter pilots to survive World War II and later worked in secret intelligence services.
Peter had met Rosemary Fuller-Hall when she was fying new fghters and bombers to air force bases.
Having survived the shooting war, Legh senior signed on for the Cold War. In the 1950s and 1960s, it seems, he roamed the world on Her Majesty’s Secret Service, meeting interesting people and making them disappear.
He and Rosemary produced three children before he disappeared himself — frst going to Victoria from Queensland and later, overseas. He would die in the late 1980s in Cyprus, a man with close secrets and a distant family.
Rosemary and her brood had to do the best they could. Which, says her younger son, hardened his self-reliance and determination. When he was nine they moved again, heading to Melbourne for a fnal reconciliation with the restless spy. The reconciliation didn’t last but the move did.
It was so cold when they arrived in Melbourne from Queensland that they stopped at a clothing store, where big brother Alan picked out black and white beanies and scarves for himself, young Rupert and sister Sally. Which is why Legh became a lifetime Collingwood supporter.
They went to Hepburn Springs, where Rosemary ran a guesthouse. When the kid wasn’t kicking a footy, he was rabbiting with his ferrets and his whippet cross.
Ferret and pigeon breeding and rabbiting introduced the boy to business. The locals introduced him to Australian Rules. When the single-parent family moved to a Housing Commission house in Yarrawonga in the early 1960s, Rupert played alongside future VFL ruckman Peter “Crackers” Keenan.
Keenan recalls him as a ferce competitor, talented and tough enough to play for pay in the best suburban or country teams.
But whereas Keenan had grown up loving racing, Legh would come to it later. First he had to succeed. He “did a Chautauqua,” taking giant strides afer leaving Yarrawonga. He went to Elwood High for his fnal year and played suburban football, eventually becoming a strong VFA backman.
And he transformed himself from bush boy to budding businessman via the police force.
Legh joined the force at 17, and worked in what was then tough inner-suburban Richmond. His frst year on the beat, in early 1969, he and another policeman confronted an armed man at a pub. The other ofcer shot the gunman dead, which made working in Richmond fairly tense.
Three years later, Legh lef the force to collect debts for
a fnance company. Afer proving himself (“I had guns and machetes pulled on me”), he moved up to approving loans instead of collecting them.
The turning point was when he decided he could be a fnance broker. He and his wife Cheryl, by this stage with two young children, took the risk. They lent money to car dealers and restaurants, then the transport industry.
Apart from winning a school sweep when Gatum Gatum won the 1963 Melbourne Cup, Legh’s only racing experience then was going with his mates to “the fat” at Caulfeld.
An early business partner, Bill Vass, won a galloper in a North Melbourne Football Club rafe in 1979. Legh went in with him.
The rafe horse had problems, so they took the $10,000 cash prize instead and bought a youngster by Lunchtime. As Captain Carrot, it won its frst start by 12 lengths.
Captain Carrot was sold to Hong Kong for plenty and won 10 races under a new name. Legh’s competitiveness had found a new outlet. He was hooked.
By now in his 30s and getting too busy for football, he found gallopers the ideal substitute. He could aford to dabble, taking shares in several horses rather than owning all of one or two. Although never a syndicator, he ofen put together groups of mates and business contacts.
Legh is grateful to those who shaped and shared his good fortune at the track. Top of the deck is the late Andrew Ramsden, whom he met through Ramsden’s son Michael.
The Ramsdens and various part-owners won the Caulfeld
Cup-Melbourne Cup double with Gurners Lane in 1982, and the Melbourne Cup again with Brew in 2000. They have had three other Caulfeld Cup winners and plenty more besides. They introduced Legh to Brew’s trainer, Mike Moroney, now one of several trainers he uses.
The roll call of top gallopers the Leghs have raced is too long to list but Sky Heights looms large. When canny Colin Alderson and Alan Jones steered the $34,000 bargain son of Zabeel to Legh, it put him in the big league: among Sky Heights’ 11 wins were a Derby, a Rosehill Guineas and the 1999 Caulfeld Cup.
Since then, the Legh group has become one of the industry’s “stallion makers”, mostly due to the eye of John Hawkes. Legh has a sof spot for all his Group winners but admits hanging onto his share of Brutal, the O’Reilly entire that Hawkes assures him ticks every box as a recruit at Newgate Stud and has his frst yearlings to be ofered at the sales in 2023, will prove a winning move.
And for Masked Crusader – no longer equipped to stand at stud, but can still do a heck of a lot on the racetrack?
“I think you’ll fnd Masked Crusader is the real deal,” says Legh. “You only need to go and look at the T.J. and say he was very unlucky not to have fought out the fnish with the winner.
“There’s no doubt he’s got the talent and we always believed that he’d be a better horse come next autumn.”

Thank you to all who have helped achieve this magical milestone.
Champion Sire leaving an indelible hoofprint on the racing and breeding world.
A trail blazer, force of nature, the face of a sport, racing’s frst lady, a champion. Rarely has a public fgure been labelled by so many and emulated by so few. To most, Gabriel Marie Waterhouse AO is simply Gai. Now in her fourth decade conditioning thoroughbreds, Gai’s role far exceeds the simple label of ‘Trainer’. What’s incredible is, Gai is still evolving.
In 2016, Waterhouse was the leader of an enterprise that had hoovered up more than 130 victories at the highest tier of racing and bloodstock, the Group One level. Gai was the conditioner for whom the Golden Slipper seemed to ft better than any. Importantly, from a fscal standpoint, Gai was the mastermind behind the racing careers of burgeoning stallion luminaries Northern Meteor, Sebring and Pierro. However, Gai Waterhouse saw the writing on the wall before anyone else. What’s more, her priorities were changing.
“I was at the stage of my life where I wanted to have time for family. I was working with Adrian Bott and his father had (owned) horses trained by my father, so I’d known his family since he was a boy,” says Gai.
Waterhouse identifed a complementary spirit in the young Bott. Not only did he have a family history with the stable, a tremendous work ethic and a rapacious appetite for improvement, but he displayed a trait Waterhouse still fnds rare.
“I saw someone who was very interested in what
I did, interested in my ideas, and wanted to learn. Unlike a lot of people who thought they knew it all, Adrian was very humble in that respect. I think that has ended up being a huge asset,” she explains.
Ultimately, Gai’s decision to change the dynamic had as much to do with timing and ‘future-proofng’ as anything.
“He asked me if I would be interested in selling the business, including the I.P. … essentially sharing what was in my head and staying on so that everything continued to fow properly, and I said, yes, I would.”
“We share the same birthday, but we’re quite diferent personalities and I think that’s why we’ve blended. We could have easily aggravated one another, but we don’t. He mightn’t be quite as ‘bolshie’ as Gai, but he gets things done,” Gai added, in her matter-of-fact style.
The visionary Steve Jobs, a defantly individual leader once said: “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do”. Any observer of the Waterhouse Bott team at a yearling sale will see echoes of this.
The relationship is a maelstrom of activity, but at its core is an aggregation of intellect, meticulously assembled. In such an environment, debate is not only possible, it’s expected.
“We may have a diference of opinion and I’m always very vocal, but ultimately I will bow to Adrian.
People respect him and understand that he’s the boss. We work well together, I will share what I think about the situation. We’ll discuss it as a team, and move forward, it’s worked very well,” Gai explains.
What is clear is this; Gai Waterhouse is still seeking an edge, in everything she does and has helped to develop a team culture that embraces this. The beginnings of the yearling inspection process prior to the start of their preparation is integral.
“You’ve got to see the horse in the paddock or the early part of the preparation, because then you can see the development in the horse. I think that ‘potential’, that is how all those good horses which have been champions or leading stallions at stud in Australia were unearthed. The only way I’ve done that has been to go out early and spot something that I like and see how it develops in the intervening three to six months,” says Gai.
Aside from the yearlings themselves, there is another type of young stock that help Waterhouse refne a decision: staf.
Be it her own or those on stud farms across Australasia, a legion of yearling handlers have received constructive advice from the racing Hall Of Famer.
“I talk to them about how to walk the horse up, how to turn it. Ofen, they want to put their hands-on the horse or they don’t turn it correctly or hold its head correctly. If the horse is misbehaving, I might suggest changes, so that the animal has a positive experience.”
But despite everything; from changing assessment methods, endless input from the ‘group-mind’ and a deluge of information from farms and auction houses, for Gai there remains one key moment in judging a horse.
“I walk into a yard or a paddock, and I see things the minute I walk into a place. The important things. You need to train yourself; you’ve got to be like that,” she says.
First impressions last, but has the type of impression required for success, changed?
Gai is on record as
considering the $38,000 she paid to secure a Jugah colt, at what is now the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, in 1992, ‘a little high’.
As a multiple Group One winner, Juggler repaid that in spades. He was one of several astute yearling purchases that catapulted Waterhouse into the stratosphere early in her career.
In the intervening time, bloodstock has globalised at a rate that outpaces the racing side of this multifaceted industry. Surely this has resulted in a quantum evolution of what a ‘good’ yearling looks like.
“That tough, resilient, ‘cop-it-on-the-chin’ type of gelding? They’re still wonderful and the racing public absolutely love them. That’s what Australia’s lost a lot of because there are now so many colts racing. Of course, if they’re any good they go to stud, but the selection criteria hasn’t changed an awful lot. A nice horse is a nice horse, and they’re all colts when they start.”
Gai Waterhouse has trained more than 150 winners at the highest level of the sport, either alone or in partnership with Bott.
The duo are amongst the leading training operations in Australasia. Their partnership is responsible for training 20 individual Stakes winners that are Inglis graduates since 2018, with Inglis auctions being the most prolifc source of Stakes-winning success for the partnership. Leading performers include In The Congo, Kibou, Embracer, Espaaniyah, Vinicunca, Alassio, Dawn Passage, Siege Of Quebec, Santos, Entente, Bellevue Hill and many others.
There are only two fgures more prolifc, and both are enshrined on Australian Racing and Breeding’s metaphorical ‘Mount Rushmore’; The late Bart Cummings; and Gai’s own sire, the charismatic Tommy ‘T.J.’ Smith.
Smith’s accumulation of honours and achievements was Bradman-esque and while they may never be bettered, his training legacy has been extended by his daughter.
Gai’s own children, Tom and Kate, have also chosen to pursue lives tied to the industry, but adjacent to the trade which their mother and grandfather has plied.
Now responsible for broods of their own, with partners Hoda Waterhouse and Luke Ricketson respectively, it is rare to see a week go by without
evidence that Gai is applying her infamous hands-on methodology to being a grandparent. The question is, does the eye that has assessed many a young horse’s potential in an instant see a future in training for these young humans?
“I hope they don’t! They all can ride, I wanted them to have the joy of being able to ride horses. I know how much I loved it. Kate and Tom both enjoyed it immensely, so they’ve all learned and have ponies, and I might add they are not the easiest ponies to ride, which is good, it makes them stick to them a bit.
“But as Tom said to me, training is too much hard work for not enough money. He summed it up very quickly,” laughs Gai.
Whether they follow in their grandmother and great grandfather’s steps or not, it’s a safe bet that the Waterhouse and Ricketson kids will be a fxture at Inglis Yearling Sales of the future. Most importantly, so will Gai.
“I still enjoy the sales, they’re very testing on you, emotionally and physically, but they’re very exciting also
and it’s where it all takes place. I’m not looking to engage in any bidding duels, in fact I’m always looking to go under the radar and get the horse under the odds. All our champion horses have been that.
“The beauty of a yearling sale is that, if you breed a horse and it has a twisted leg, you are lumbered with it. If you go to the yearling sales, you can buy a lovely horse with a nice pedigree and it’s ofen very afordable. It’s a very level playing feld and I like them very much,” notes Gai.
And despite her decreased workload in recent years, the dreaded R-Word has never crossed her mind.
“I always say, the moment I retire the telephone stops ringing. While I’m a horse trainer, people are still calling to find out about their horses and I love talking to people,” Gai says.
One suspects that those people aren’t simply calling to fnd out about their equine interests. Afer all, in what other sport is it so easy to earn an audience with an icon?
The complications of the Covid pandemic meant Francis and Christine Cook never got to witness their star mare Shout The Bar in her fnest racetrack moments.
And so, when they got together with their fellow owners in the daughter of Not A Single Doubt to sell her through the 2022 Inglis Chairman’s Sale, the intention was to make it a special occasion.
“We didn’t see either of her Group 1 wins, so one of the things we wanted to see was her go through the ring when it came to the time to selling her,” Francis Cook said.
“I like the concept of the Chairman’s Sale and also just being in Sydney, we were keen to support the local product with the horse.”
The Cooks, whose well-known maroon, white and yellow Mystery Downs colours have featured regularly in Australia’s best races over the past 30 years, had a 30 per cent share in Shout The Bar, enjoying the ride with eight other shareholders as she won fve races for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, including the Vinery Stud Stakes and the Empire Rose Stakes at Group 1 level.
However, the ownership group never got together to celebrate those wins and so the 2022 Chairman’s Sale took on special signifcance and even more so afer Shout The Bar topped the sale.
“The story of the night is that Inglis arranged a private suite in the auditorium at Riverside for the owners, Gai and Adrian. She had a $1.5 million reserve on her, and it stalled a couple of times but once it got to the $1.5 million everybody got up on their feet because they were all very excited,” Cook said.
“For a lot of the other owners in the horse, it was either their frst investment or they only had small investments before, and this was a windfall gain. They got two Group 1 wins from
the mare, she has given them a fantastic time, and now she is selling for big money.
“At $2 million it all went deadly quiet to see who else would come into the bidding. It ended up with a fnal bid from Coolmore and it was so wonderful for the mare to be sold because we knew it would give her the best chance, with the high quality of international stallions that they have.”
Shout the Bar was sold for $2.7 million, signed for by Coolmore Australia principal Tom Magnier, an extraordinary return for a flly that had cost Waterhouse and Bott $200,000 as a yearling and had then won her owners over $1.5 million in prizemoney.
“We inspected her that afernoon (ahead of the Chairman’s Sale), and she was just a queen, a queen of a racehorse. It was just like when I’d seen her as a yearling, but she had grown in every facet of her development,” he said.
“Christine did ask me why we were selling such a beautiful mare, but it becomes a commercial reality. She was too valuable to breed with ourselves.”
Brett and Rachael Howard of Glenesk Thoroughbreds were entrusted with selling Shout The Bar at the Chairman’s Sale and from the moment she walked on to their farm a couple of weeks before she was due to go through the ring, Brett knew he had something special on his hands.
“She was just a really amazing physical and I’d have to say the nicest one we have put in front of people in our time consigning mares,” Howard said.
Howard, who also runs Randwick Bloodstock, has had many career highlights over the years, whether it be consigning million-dollar mares or selecting future Group 1 winners as yearlings, but that May evening at the Chairman’s Sale was a particular highlight.

On a record night which saw $33.4 million change hands on 71 mares, Glenesk sold four mares for a total of just under $4 million, including Keysbrook, who was purchased for $850,000 just 11 months afer Howard’s Randwick Bloodstock had paid $60,000 for her through an Inglis Digital Sale.
The remarkable return made possible by the fact that Keysbrook’s daughter, She’s Extreme, had won the G1 Champagne Stakes two weeks prior.
“There is a lot of luck involved. When you buy a broodmare, you don’t expect her rising 2YO to come out and win Group 1 races,” Howard said.
“Before I bought her, I’d seen her foals and so I knew she could put a good sort on the ground and I had been underbidder on her Lean Mean Machine foal at the weanling sales.

“She’s Extreme was a nice flly as well and so when I saw the mare in the Digital Sale, I thought she was a good possibility.”
The timing of the Chairman’s Sale, just afer the autumn feature racing in Sydney, gave Howard the perfect platform to market a highly desirable broodmare.
“We have always encouraged our clients to be traders and in this game, as a commercial breeder, you are in it to make a dollar. My view has always been, it doesn’t matter how you make the dollar,” he said.
“It’s just a matter of keeping an open mind and it comes down to the old saying ‘timing is everything’.”
First staged in 2017, the frst two editions of the Chairman’s Sale also contained select weanlings – including Inglis’ initial selection as their representative in
the 2022 The Everest in Snapdancer - but in 2019, the decision was made to reserve it for elite race fllies and broodmares.
And since then, some of the results on the night have been extraordinary.
On an individual level, horses like Pippie (a $60,000 Classic Sale buy into a $1.8m Chairman’s mare), Sweet Deal (a $67,500 Classic Sale buy into an $850,000 Chairman’s mare) and Booker (a $230,000 Premier Sale buy into a $1.6m Chairman’s mare) to name just a handful have proven life-changing returns for their owners.
And on an overall scale, in the past two renewals combined (2021 and 2022) the sale has had a clearance rate of 87% and average price of $501,610.
Inglis also seized on the opportunity to create the Chairman’s Sale as a must-attend social event, like no other sale in Australia.
“A few years ago, we had a vision of what the sale could be and we were fortunate enough to have people that were willing to support that vision in the early years,” Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said.
While the social nature of the sale was curtailed signifcantly during the heart of the pandemic, the 2022 edition allowed Inglis to showcase what it sees as a bright future of the Chairman’s Sale concept.
“The 2022 Sale was hugely signifcant in terms of being able to present the sort of occasion we wanted. It’s something we will only look to build on,” Hutch said.
“In many respects, we view this Sale as an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic careers of race fllies and broodmares that have been hugely successful and we have an occasion that allows us to do that.”
The ‘valedictory’ nature of the Chairman’s Sale has become a substantial part of its appeal, especially for those who own these star fllies or mares in syndicates.
In 2021, CJ Stone and her fellow owners in Stakes-winning mare Sweet Deal, took her through the Chairman’s Sale, helping turn the page from one stage of her career to another.
For those unable to attend The Chairman’s Sale, Inglis produces a live broadcast of the evening from Riverside with expert commentary and roving interviews
In large ownership groups, managing expectations around sale of elite horses can be complicated, something Stone said was made much easier when Sweet Deal was sold at that 2021 Sale.
“Inglis were very supportive through the whole process. We have quite a few owners, and everyone has diferent opinions and Inglis were very helpful through that lead-up,” Stone said.
“For some of the people involved, it was life changing. To have people to guide you through that is quite important as opposed to just putting up a mare online.”
Even before Sweet Deal was sold for $850,000, the evening had become as much about celebration as it was about commerce for the ownership group, who as an added bonus were able to connect with the mare’s new owners, Lustre Lodge.
“Some of the owners were keen to stay in for the breeding experience. As a result of that in-person sale we could meet the purchasers then and there on the night and have that discussion with them,” she said.
Stone is one of a few of Sweet Deal’s original owners to remain involved with the mare and the star mare produced a Zoustar colt in September 2022.
The boutique nature of the Chairman’s Sale not only helps
facilitate those connections, but also makes it easier for both buyers and sellers, according to Howard.
“I like the fact it is a mares only sale for elite broodmares and elite racing mares and fllies. Inglis make sure the quality stays high and keep it to those horses at the $200,000 or higher bracket. It just stands it out from the other sales,” Howard said.
And it is a format that Inglis are keen to develop further.
“We don’t have a fxed idea of the exact number of mares we would want on any given year, but we just want to consolidate the quality as best we can,” Hutch said. “There are no lulls in the Sale. If you want to buy a really nice mare, you go to the Chairman’s Sale, and you are going to fnd what you want.”
With quality at front of mind, Inglis is determined to ensure the sense of occasion around the Chairman’s Sale also evolves.
“It’s a celebration of these quality mares and people can enjoy going to the sale as spectators and see these elite mares and fllies recognised by the commercial market,” Hutch said.
“There is an element of a party to it and the concept will only evolve from here. It’s a very social sale. It was definitely good fun and I think it’s something for people to look forward to for years to come.”

It’s ofen said the racing and breeding industry exists in a bubble and sometimes none more so than when looking towards the next generations and their connection to the thoroughbreds we breed, race and sell in Australia. Old-timers in the equestrian world speak with great pride of the mighty deeds of our Olympic and World Champion thoroughbreds of the past but for decades now they have been overshadowed by other breeds in competition, in particular European warmbloods.
Now the thoroughbreds are fghting back. And Inglis is at the forefront of support for the grassroots take-up of this athletic, intelligent and adaptable breed of competition horse with extensive sponsorships in place throughout the sporthorse world.
Inglis Deputy Chair Arthur Inglis says: “It behoves all of the industry and those who want to see a bright future for racing and breeding to show how we all love our horses and like to see them have a whole of life care.”
Arthur agrees the focus of various competitions has drifed to other breeds and “we must advertise the benefts of taking on thoroughbreds and also communicate our support for that”.
Inglis has been sponsoring the Crane Trophy at the Sydney Royal Easter Show for fve years with thoroughbred industry prizemoney for RAS thoroughbred classes rising from $75 for the winner to around $1000 per class.
Krissy Harris’s ever expanding Thoroughbred Sport Horse Association has also been a major benefciary of Inglis’s largesse and their competitions have been overrun by new competitors vying for the outstanding prizemoney for a range of classes, particularly with the National TSHA Championships in November.
Thoroughbred Spring Fair, run by Rebecca Brown is another event that has received the support of Inglis, as has the Southern Cross Show Horse Spectacular, highlighting the range of diferent classes in which thoroughbreds excel.
My own thoroughbred re-homing TV program “Thoroughbreds Are Go” is also sponsored by Inglis with stories and interviews that promote thoroughbreds in their new careers, educate racing owners and breeders about the best way to re-home their horses and help with information on their best care in their new homes.
Thoroughbred Breeders’ NSW also supports of the track thoroughbred competition and Executive Ofcer Julianne Christopher welcomes the increased incentives for
taking on the breed away from racing. “We did forget to promote our own brand as a sporthorse so having Inglis support these bodies is of huge signifcance,’’ Christopher said. “Inglis is a highlevel sponsor, they are an ambassador for the whole industry in what they get behind and they are renowned for supporting initiatives that are benefcial to the industry as a whole.”
Charlotte Inglis has great experience in working with thoroughbreds and she zeroes in on this highly intelligent and easily trainable breed in her quest for parents to fnd a frst or second horse for their child to ride. She says: “The advantages for people who take on a thoroughbred are enormous, they are good about being stabled, they’ve been stabled a lot
in their racing careers, they are comfortable being taken to events and moved around a lot which is good for parents who aren’t from an equestrian background - they’ve been everywhere and done everything. If you fnd the right temperament they are perfect for a child who wants to get into competition. Not only are they safe and honest but they have all the basics some parents take for granted such as putting them on a foat and taking them to a strange place so they are a very good asset for a child like that.”
Inglis has specifcally targeted their sponsorships at people competing and taking on thoroughbreds at a grassroots level rather than a professional level for a broader exposure to competitors who have of the track horses and are most likely to need this support.
That has included the Pony Racing held in diferent states of Australia and managed by Lindy Maurice which Arthur Inglis says also has a range of benefts. “Yes, that is excellent all round - it not only engages people employed in racing but it also gets the young riders to think about the racing industry and what it ofers. It also gives them another level of competition. A lot are already riders but a big part of pony racing is to open their eyes to the thoroughbred industry and the excitement of it from a career point of view.”
TBNSW’s Christopher lives in Scone, in the Hunter Valley of NSW, a region branded as the Horse Capital of Australia and believes we’re seeing “a lot of locals enquiring about classes for thoroughbreds, many of them work in the industry or have lef the industry but they are taking on thoroughbreds they have followed through their whole journey. They may have foaled them down and they keep tabs on them through their racing career so eventually they can compete on that horse themselves of the track.”
Christopher continues: “Thoroughbred breeders in NSW supply the largest numbers of yearlings for sale in Australasia and the support Inglis is giving to of the track events shows they take seriously the responsibility of caring for the thoroughbreds they sell mainly as yearlings – they are backing a premium product all the way through their life cycle.”
Arthur Inglis sees the benefts as two-fold, assisting grassroots riders but also the elite competitor and the horses themselves. “I think these sponsorships do help people try out a thoroughbred,” Arthur says. “It all helps towards getting back to the halcyon days when most people rode thoroughbreds for those various competitions in Australia and New Zealand. It’s drifed on to other breeds a lot for those uses but it’s important we advertise the benefts of the
thoroughbred and the benefts of taking them on to compete.”
His wife Charlotte elaborates: “The change in the eventing rules in 2000 when they dropped the endurance legs meant the thoroughbred couldn’t compete with the warmbloods on equal footing, given the latter are purpose bred for dressage and jumping. Once they took out the roads and tracks, the thoroughbreds were being beaten which started a chain reaction where people started thinking of warmbloods. A lot of thoroughbreds were overlooked, and riders didn’t put the work in to see what attributes they had.
“This new push to put money into the thoroughbred performance horse world means you are pulling them out of a paddock and having a look at them again - there will be the Grand Prix show jumpers and elite eventers that will emerge more ofen now too. It’s defnitely a powerful way to reintroduce the thoroughbred and fnd the gems amongst them!”
Anyone consistently talking about thoroughbreds in competition and the expanded classes available is quick to hear of their attributes for all riders, young and old alike. “It’s their athleticism and temperament, if you get the right ones they are easily adaptable to a range of diferent uses and they are so versatile, they also seem to be very manageable on the ground and in paddocks in their handling,” Arthur concludes.
Charlotte adds: “Thoroughbreds are incredibly brave and sure footed – it’s reinvigorating for everyone who loves thoroughbreds, the extra prizemoney is making us all think, let’s grab one and do these classes! As we’re training them we then think ‘wow this horse is as good as any warmblood can be, it jumps well, moves well’ and we are rediscovering them through the incentive of the prizemoney.”

The rapid emergence over the past 18 months of the fedgling Australian racing and breeding operation Trilogy Racing - frstly with relative anonymity, before its sale ring exploits became too hard to ignore - has made long-time industry observers, investors and participants stand up and take notice.
Racing has a way of attracting new players, blinded by the glitz and the glamour of the racetrack, the excitement of the yearling sales and the lure of the potential big prizemoney hauls, and many of them can come and go, but the quartet behind Trilogy - Jason and Melanie Stenning and Sean and Cathy
Dingwall - are no fy-by-nighters and are determined to ensure the entity becomes a long-term, respected industry name.
With an interest in over 200 horses, a number amassed in such a short space of time and the acquisition of a major stud farm coming soon afer, there appears to be no ceiling placed on Trilogy’s stunning growth.
Co-founder Jason Stenning, who grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, was enthralled by the majestic nature of the racehorse and the mystique of the races from an early age, one which has stayed with him since.
“It is a long story, but my uncle was a jockey (Robert Tunsted) and my grandmother used to take me to the races and to the stables from when I was fve or six, so it’s in my blood I guess,” Stenning says of his early introduction to racing.
Stenning and his wife Melanie, who has also enthusiastically embraced the thoroughbred racing and breeding enterprise and industry, have established a portfolio of successful businesses including leading Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturing business Industree Group, as well as real estate and property development ventures. The Stenning’s also own a worldclass commercial music recording studio on the NSW Central Coast.
The Stennings and Dingwalls were introduced by a mutual friend, Jon Fleming (now chief executive of Industree Group), around six years ago. Jon and Sean are lifelong friends with Jason having known Jon for almost 30 years. It was this mutual endorsement to both parties by Jon, a highly respected business and family man, that provided the confdence for the partnership to develop, and Trilogy Racing was born.
“I’ve loved racing for as long as I can remember and I’ve always wanted to become an owner and be heavily involved in it, but I didn’t have any personal experience or connections within the industry,” Stenning says.
“So, it was about partnering with the right people to ensure that the model and operations were commercially viable, sustainable and provided the best opportunities for success. When we met the Dingwalls it all sort of fell into place quite organically and just felt right. They are a wonderful family and exceptional horse people. Mel and I feel very lucky to have them in our lives and to be partnering with them.”
Trilogy made its entrance via the 2021 Australian weanling sales, the partnership’s inaugural foray attracting minimal fanfare, but that was not the case when, later that year at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in Sydney, the quartet went to $320,000 for Lot 1, a Belardo twoyear-old colt, now named “Lottwon”, who at the time of print had raced once for a Melbourne Metropolitan third placing.
Under the stewardship of Sean Dingwall and the Stennings by his side at Riverside Stables, they added four more horses to their team for a combined spend of close to $1 million, an entrée to what was to come via its huge yearling sales investment in early 2022.
Dingwall determined that the weanling sales, and then the two-year-old sales, was the best way to introduce his new business
partners into the ofen fast-paced world of bloodstock sales.
“The reason I really decided to do that was that I felt that we’d get some better value - and it just happened to be the year of the Shadwell dispersal and the crop of weanlings was quite strong - rather than trying to take on a yearling sale, so we opted to do that,” Dingwall ofers.
“It also allowed Jay and Mel to see how a horse grows out and be able to participate in the development and see the change in the horses over that 12-month period.
“Obviously, we could have pinhooked some of those horses (into the yearling market), but we opted not to. They are all in work now, but like anything in this game, it’s a long-term play.”
Soon afer the Ready2Race Sale, Newgate Farm’s Henry Field was introduced to the Stennings at an Inglis function and the trio immediately struck up a rapport, a meeting which led to Trilogy joining the China Horse Club/Newgate colts partnership.
Earlier in 2021, at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale in Melbourne, Dingwall had sold a colt by Newgate Farm’s Golden Slipper winner Capitalist for $600,000, a signifcant achievement for the family’s Caithness Breeding business.
“I’ve known Sean and Cathy for a very long time and they’re good people and Jason and Mel, I got on with them well at an Inglis function, and they decided to co-invest in some of the colts with us and hopefully they have the Slipper winner in the group,” Field said.
“Obviously Jason and Mel have been very successful in their own business ventures; they’ve got a passion for racing and they’ve invested heavily in the game, so it’s really important that they can kick some goals, have a great experience, but they’re surrounding themselves with good people and that’s half the battle.”
Dingwall foated the idea of expanding the bloodstock portfolio by joining the Newgate group. “We sat down and had a good chat about it, it seemed a great ft, and I thought it was a good entry point for Jason and Mel to get into the industry in a meaningful way that allows them the opportunity to potentially share in a successful stallion,” Dingwall recalled. “Henry’s obviously the best at what he does - he’s had great success - and we are honoured to be part of the syndicate.”
This interview takes place soon afer the ofcial Sydney two-yearold barrier trials were conducted in mid-September, which provides a glimpse of what horsepower Trilogy Racing has at its disposal, while the partnership also signed a deal to buy Philip and Patti Campbell’s
renowned Victorian stud Blue Gum Farm in the same week.
“Part of our plan was to have a high-end property and when we sat down and looked at it, we wanted to buy the best property in Victoria because we’re passionate about the Victorian breeding and racing industry and, in our view, Blue Gum is the best farm,” Dingwall says.
“It’s probably produced the most Group 1 winners, it’s in the right location for us and, obviously, it was a property that has a great history and a great management structure.”
The acquisition of Blue Gum Farm in addition to Trilogy Racing was also a chance for the Dingwalls to indulge their passion for breeding on a full-time basis afer almost a decade running water treatment solutions business, Integra.
“We’ve had a business to run and we needed both of us to do that, so that’s been our ongoing duty, but we’ve bred all the time during that period, so we have mares and foals and everything else, but now we’re at a point in our life where we are able to step back from the other business and we want to do something in breeding full time,” Dingwall said.
Blue Gum Farm will continue to operate as a commercial business, agisting, managing, selling and supporting the greatly valued existing client base as well as Trilogy’s horses.
“We need people to know that as a breeding operation, we are a seller. We’ve made a commitment that all our homebred weanlings and yearlings will go through a sale. We won’t be picking the eyes
out of each crop and keeping what we think are the best and selling the rest,” Stenning says.
The Trilogy Racing team is spread far and wide: Kristen Buchanan at Wyong on the Central Coast, the rising Ben Brisbourne at Wangaratta in North East Victoria and the established metropolitan trainers of Peter and Paul Snowden, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Mick Price and Mick Kent Jnr, Annabel Neasham, Lloyd Kennewell and Clinton McDonald are among the stables on the Trilogy roster.
Dispersing their racing stock to a range of trainers was also “not by accident” as the relationships forged between trainer and owner is a way of encouraging reciprocal support as a vendor when Trilogy/Blue Gum Farm stock feature in sales catalogues in the coming years.
“We’ve got a long list of trainers and we are giving them all a bit of a chance. We’re also supporting South Australian racing with three trainers over there training a few horses each in Will Clarken, David Jolly and Michael Hickmott,” Dingwall says.
“Part of that is we truly believe in the industry and we want to support the industry.”
After a whirlwind 18 months, the Trilogy empire is just beginning, with the Dingwalls to soon take up full-time residence at Blue Gum Farm and the Stennings as captivated by racing and breeding as they were when they first set foot on a sales complex.

It’s unlikely you’ll read any story about the renowned Widden Stud without a reference to the fact that it is “the world’s oldest family-owned and run thoroughbred stud farm” afer being established in the 1860’s. There you go, we just did it!
Countless words have been penned on the stud’s rich history and the seven generations of the Thompson family who’ve overseen it, but what of the future?
Present proprietor and custodian Antony Thompson says expansion is vital to progress and acted accordingly with Widden’s move to Victoria in 2021. Thus, there’s new chapters to be written even if the timing of the move
south was inopportune to say the least.
“Given the challenges presented by Covid and accompanying border closures, it’s fair to say we picked the worst possible time in Widden’s 156-year history to make the move,” Thompson said.
“I rely on the input of the team and the rigour and discipline of the board meeting processdiligently reviewing the business, assessing risk and looking to future direction. While there is always some element of gut feel when it comes to buying or selling a horse, no decisions are made on a whim.’’
Antony Thompson Widden’s Victorian expansionWhile it is not, of course, without precedent for major studs to have operations in more than one state or indeed in Australia and New Zealand, this was certainly a watershed moment in the operation’s long history and a frst move into Victoria by any of the hallowed Hunter Valley studs bar world-wide player Darley.
“Covid aside, the timing was right from a business point of view and while there were challenges particularly with the movement of staf, you do what you’ve got to do and we made it happen,’’ Thompson continued.
“We were able to rotate some of our staf down there and absorbed some existing personnel including the key sales guys Adam (Henry) and Phil (Marshall).’’
Pegs were staked almost immediately with a positive response from broodmare owners, later that year, to the Widden Victorian stallion roster which was boosted by the relocation of Nicconi and Star Witness from the Widden Valley farm in the Hunter.
Widden Victoria was then the leading vendor by aggregate at the 2022 Inglis Premier Sale in Melbourne.
Widden’s Victorian expansion

A gross of $5.3 million was more than four times greater than in the two previous years in Melbourne.
The Victorian Widden branch operates from the farm previously known as Sun Stud (and before that Eliza Park) and Thompson seized the expansion opportunity when Sun Stud announced a restructure early in 2021.
Eliza Park was established in 1998 by Lee Fleming and quickly built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading thoroughbred farms before being purchased
by the Sun International Group in 2013.
Eighteen months on from occupation of the farm in May last year, Thompson says he’s delighted with how the move has unfolded.
“It’s something we’d thought about for a while. Always back of mind as to whether we might expand to Victoria or Queensland and it’s been fantastic from our point of view, exceeded our expectations.
“We’re standing the champion Victorian sire (from last season) in Nicconi and the champion Victorian frst

crop sire Gold Standard. It would be the only farm in Australia to be standing three stallions who had more than 100 winners last season - Nicconi, Star Witness and Magnus.
“Last year we added Russian Camelot and Doubtland and, this year, the Hesket Thoroughbred horses Overshare and Dirty Work join Gold Standard to give us a very strong line-up and topping the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale aggregate was a real bonus,” Thompson said. Former Sun stallions Fiorente, Thronum and National Defense (along with Magnus) complete the roster.
Afer securing the lease with an option to buy arrangement (with Sun Stud), Widden made its intentions clear when it immediately sent south the two high profle Hunter stallions Nicconi and Star Witness. “The addition of the two proven Group 1 stallions to the Victorian roster proves that we are fair dinkum about the Victorian industry,” Widden’s Adam Henry said at the time. Fair dinkum, indeed.
“The numbers were great last season with a lot of Victorian breeders very pleased to have such proven Group 1 sires at their doorstep and they’ve been very well supported again this year as have Russian Camelot and Doubtland while Gold Standard is the hot horse on the scene and had great backing,” Thompson said.
The operation has been boosted with key personnel appointments and Thompson sees it as “onwards and upwards”.
Jason Robinson, who’d been operations manager at Swettenham Stud, was appointed as stud manager early this year while Matty Upton was recruited to revitalize the breaking, spelling and pre-training program.
“We’ve set up a great team down there, as we have in New South Wales, which allows us to optimise our core focus which is to breed and sell quality horses,” Thompson said.
Thompson said the possibility of standing an exceptionally high profle “new” stallion in Victoria, rather than New South Wales, was not ruled out; nor was the possibility of shuttling a stallion between the two states.
“Moving the stallions between states is an interesting one and something I’ve been asked about a lot by Victorians breeders. There’s no absolute reason why you couldn’t do it and there might be a suitable opportunity at some time, perhaps with a younger stallion like Doubtland or Anders.
“As to the high-profle horse beginning his career in Victoria, I think that will happen. To some extent, Russian Camelot was in that category last year. This year we considered the Oakleigh Plate winner Portland Sky but he’s by Deep Field which obviously resonates up here (New South Wales).’’
Widden’s success continued unabated in the past season, fnishing third (by aggregate) at Inglis Easter, Inglis Classic and at Magic Millions as well topping Inglis Melbourne Premier while the 2022 spring carnival yielded Group 1 Flight Stakes success with Zougotcha who was bred and sold by Widden at Inglis Easter (with the farm retaining a share in the Zoustar flly).
Its powerful Widden Valley roster from evergreen Zoustar to Supido, whose frst crop are now three, similarly marches on and that has the man at the helm more than adequately motivated along with the health of the industry.
“Yearling sales results over the past couple of years have again demonstrated how incredibly strong and resilient this industry is and prizemoney levels continue to grow,’’ Thompson said.
“While everyone may have a diferent opinion as to how to cut the cake it’s great that the cake keeps going with efciencies around racing administration and increasing revenue.
“If you’re asking about the future well then I’m still very defnitely enjoying what we’re doing and I can’t see that changing. I think it’s the way of the world that you have to keep growing and we’re committed to that.’’
And what of an eighth generation to be entrenched at Widden, adding yet another chapter to the history, I asked in reference to his later teenaged children Amy and Sam?
“I don’t know, that’ll be up to them. At the moment it’s a very exciting time for us and the industry at large and they seem to be interested so you never know,” Thompson said.
Thompson’s commitment to the industry at large remains unwavering in his role as chairman of Aushorse.
“I’m passionate about the industry as a whole. A stronger, healthier industry means we all beneft. Australian breeders rely on the continued success of the racing industry and the commercial appeal, via racetrack success and marketing, of our stallions.
“For years, especially as a much younger person I was frustrated by the lack of a national marketing voice in this country. We were being lef behind the marketing bodies of New Zealand and European countries.
“We’ve now countered that with Aushorse and a vital TBA (Thoroughbred Breeders Australia). I might play a small role in setting direction but ultimately we rely on the executive team which is led by an outstanding chief executive in Tom Reilly.
“He has, under him, a very efcient and lean team who do a very good job.’’
Since teaming up in August 2018, Ciaron Maher and David Eustace have rapidly become Australia’s leading training combination. But just how much does 41-year-old Maher and 31-year-old Eustace know about one another? We asked them to interview each other – and the result was well worth it!
Q : I Googled your name for this interview and two things that immediately came up were ‘Ciaron Maher wife’ and ‘Ciaron Maher net worth’. Care to comment on either?
A : Haha. Well I don’t have a wife. Never had a wife actually but you never know, we’re working toward something. Net worth? Well I just put it all back in anyway. There’s a lot of mouths to feed and the wage bills are fairly hefy.
Q : Talking of mouths to feed, what’s Ciaron Maher’s daily diet like?
A : Depends on the location actually. If I’m at Warwick Farm it’s usually an egg, bacon, tomato, cheese roll at Café de Hooves (the caravan at the track), if it’s Ballarat it’s a steak sandwich, Caulfeld there’s about 13 trips to the café in between lots. Afer that, I’m not a big doer.
Q : Are you a gym attendee? And be honest.
A : No, but I don’t mind the idea of it. People say it’s not bad.
Q : Any hobbies?
A : Motorbikes. And the odd party.
Q : What do you do to ‘wind down’ either afer a big day at the races or a long day of training?
A : I love a dip in the ocean, followed by a couple of beers. The simple things.
Q : We know you’re a former jumps jockey but what other sports were you involved with growing up?
A : I played footy when I was a kid, won a few premierships although I usually warmed the bench or flled the back pocket, probably the worst position.
Ciaron Maher David EustaceQ : Any fags?
A : Three fags. Had to retire then – I just thought going into the next year of Under 15s I mightn’t have got a game at all! Too light. No good.
Q : I’ve previously referred to you as terms such as “The Nutty Professor’’ and “The Lightbulb Man’’. Would you agree with that?
A : I suppose you need to be diferent, I wouldn’t like it if we were the same, I don’t think it would work. So I agree that we’re diferent, let’s put it that way.
Q : Favourite movie?
A : Days of Thunder.
Q : What’s that?
A : Really? Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s frst movie together. It’s about NASCAR.
Q : The CMR logo is a silhouette with your long hair locks – what made you get a haircut?
A : It was getting a bit sparse at the front of my melon, I was sick of trying to cover it up so I thought it was about time.
Q : Your frst G1 win as a trainer was
Tears I Cry in the 2007 Emirates Stakes at Flemington in Cup Week - how have your celebrations changed over the years when you win a G1?
A : They’ve probably got smaller to be honest. I think the Tears I Cry party went for about six weeks, these days it’s a whole lot smaller than that.
Q : What makes a good yearling in Ciaron Maher’s eyes?
A : Pedigree and an athlete. Everything has to move, really you’re buying an athlete.
Q : What’s your greatest strength?
A : Diversity
Q : What’s your biggest weakness?
A : FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)
Q : Breeding aside, at what stage in a yearling/2YO’s development do you get a feel for how good they might be?
A : Pretty early on. Certainly if it’s going to be a 2YO you know fairly early on. Some horses, though, you have to wait for so I suppose it’s horse by horse but if it’s going to be a good 2YO you really do know pretty early.
Q : You’re running a huge business with a huge amount of staf and horses – did you ever see yourself as a businessman growing up?
A : I always had very big aspirations and afer Tears I Cry won my frst G1 for me [in 2007], I got ofered a lot of horses from other trainers and I was very busy doing that so I was quite keen to get to Melbourne to expand to get frst crack at the horses. Once I got here, I knew I wanted to expand again.
Q : You’re already one of the biggest trainers in Australia - do you see CMR continuing to grow/expand?
A : Yeah, I see it that way hopefully. We’re certainly expanding in Sydney already, Melbourne’s probably at a number of horses I’m comfortable with but we hope to build the quality, as every stable does, in both Sydney and Melbourne. I think we’re at a size now and our multiple locations that I’m very comfortable with.
Q : Do you see yourself as a horse trainer or a businessman?
A : I see myself as both. Originally I didn’t really care much for business at all, it was solely just training but as the business has grown and developed, I’ve certainly grown and developed and I see myself as both as a result. There’s not much choice to be honest, I need to have at least some business nous and interest now and I do.
Q : Tell us how the business functions?
What is your hands on day-to-day role? Are you purely training horses or is it more than that?
A : I guess the business functions like any other sort of business with the number of employees we’ve got. We’ve got a CMR Board which sits regularly, there’s reporting done, there’s meetings every week. Mondays and Tuesdays are very busy – all days are busy – but Mondays and Tuesdays are setting up for the following week, going through everything that happened on the weekend, planning for the following weekend form-wise, gallops, analysing data etc. The second half of the week is usually in Sydney, again a lot of meetings, we go through every horse every week, planning, making any changes needed, our board meetings for the corporate side of things etc.
Q : If you could be somebody else in the industry for a day, who would it be and why?
A : James McDonald. Why? Fairly obvious I’d have thought.
Q : What’s one race you haven’t won but really want to?
A : The Golden Slipper
Q : If you weren’t a horse trainer or didn’t have any role in the racing industry, what would you be?
A : I’d be a Grand Prix rider.
Q : Which one?
A : Jack Miller. [Valentino] Rossi’s just retired, [Marc] Marquez is probably the best but our Aussie Jack Miller is doing an outstanding job.
Q : Who is your confdante/person you most look up to in life?
A : I’ve got a few good mates that I confde in. In business, Jonathan Crisp, he sent me some horses really early on and he’s been a solid rock for me with structure and all that business sense, he’s been very helpful.
Q : What’s life afer racing look like for you?
A : Trainers don’t retire, they die.
Q : Best horse you’ve ever trained? Why?
A : Jameka. Consistency, raced at 2, 3, 4, successful at all ages, you could have trained her in a car park up the road, she was such a straight-forward horse.
Q : Jameka is arguably your most famous yearling purchase – what did you see in her at Oaklands ahead of the 2014 Inglis Premier Sale?
A: I bought her because Aaron Purcell and myself used to go to all the yearling sales and look at every horse, start bidding and we’d stop bidding at $20,000 or $30,000 so there weren’t too many horses for us. That was the year I made a commitment that I was going to have a crack and buy a couple of horses, even though I didn’t have the money. I was really taken by Jameka. All the commercial sires I’d crossed of the list due to budget and just looked at the horses that I liked as a type that weren’t going to be top of the range expensive. I just loved her. I think I would have bought her for whatever price she went to. When you talk about that ‘movement’ and a horse being an athlete, I just couldn’t get enough of her.
Q : We were once described as ‘Racing’s Odd Couple’ – would you agree with that? Why/Why not?
A : We’re obviously diferent but I think ‘odd’ is a bit harsh! There’s a bit of ying and yang and it seems to work well.
Q : To the question everyone wants to know about - you’ve hands down got the most impressive eyebrows in world racing. How long have they been such a major part of you?
A : I was a bit of a late bloomer so they probably really started to get going when I was 19, 20 I suppose. That’s when they really started to get commented on and they’re here to stay for a while now!
Q : Tell us something about you nobody would know?
A : No one has ever touched the brows! I was actually at the hairdresser yesterday and he asked if he could touch the brows and I was like ‘mate, no chance, it’s the signature.’
Q : Why did you go into business with me? Has there ever been a day you’ve regretted it?
A : No, of course not, it’s a wonderful opportunity and something I’d dreamed of doing. And yes, I’ve got enough work to do!
Q : What’s your greatest strength?
A : I’m passionate.
Q : What’s your biggest weakness?
A : I’m fairly impatient. Very impatient, actually. Next question?
Q : Your attention to detail is ofen described as “meticulous’’ – where does that come from?
A : Defnitely from mum. You’d probably say dad, they’re both pretty meticulous people but mum, she drove it into us pretty early.
Q : You’re the son of a leading trainer in Europe, what was your childhood like? Silver spoon?!
A: It was largely horse-related which would come as little surprise to most, I grew up in the stables basically. Silver spoon? Look, that’s probably right, yeah! We had to work for it but it was shoved in our mouth, yeah haha.
Q : Who has been the biggest infuence on your career?
A : Probably you, really. You’ve been my mentor for however long so you, undoubtedly.
Q : Take the readers inside the trainers’ hut at 4am – what are you like to work with at that hour? What am I like to be around at that hour?
A : I think we’re both fairly reasonable. Obviously there’s a bit of pressure, communication is the main thing really but you sort of get used to the hours in some weird way. We’re very lucky that we’ve got a great team, a good young team too which is probably the most important thing that you’ve tried to create is a young, youthful team with enthusiasm and culture.
Q : What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
A : Mum always said ‘manners cost nothing’, it’s a cliché but it’s true.
Q : And the worst piece of advice?
A : Let’s go out, it’ll be fne!
Q : What do you look for in a yearling?
A: They’ve got to be able to move, balance, size probably doesn’t matter as much to me, it’s more about movement.
Q : Explain the process between yourself, myself and Will Bourne at the sales and who has what responsibility?
A : Will probably looks at more than anyone, we all respect his view to take horses off but ultimately the buck stops with you when the hammer comes down, and rightly so. I’ll throw my two cents worth in fairly often as well!
Q : You once donned the pig skin. Tell us about your career as a jockey.
A : I’d like to think it was more successful than it was but it really wasn’t! It was a pretty unsuccessful career, for a moment I thought I might be good but I definitely wasn’t. I rode a favourite once at Newmarket, went to a 21st birthday the night before, didn’t do the weight so had to carry overweight and got beaten a pretty small margin. It wasn’t good. I was depressed, dad was angry. I’ve never lived that down.
Over the past few years, Inglis Digital Online Auctions have become a mainstay within the bloodstock landscape in Australia and such is its infuence, the platform can lay claim to being responsible for selling the winners of an extraordinary one in six Australian races during the 2021/22 season.
Not only have the twice-monthly sales provided industry participants with another option for buying and selling bloodstock, they have also proved to be an excellent source of top-class stock, with G1
winners such as She’s Extreme, Callsign Mav and Bella Vella all purchased wholly or partly via Inglis Digital, while G1-winning mares including Funstar and Sierra Sue both realised seven-fgure sums when sold through Inglis Digital.
Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said the results achieved by Inglis Digital coupled with the regularity of the sales and the fact that buyers and sellers are no longer restricted by a traditional rigid schedule of live auctions, has meant buyers
and vendors alike have confdence when selling or purchasing stock via the platform.
“The evolution of the online bloodstock market in a fairly short period of time has been nothing short of extraordinary ” said Hutch.
“The fact is, now there is a liquid market accessible to buyers and sellers through Inglis Digital twice a month, every month, 11 months of the year and then once again in December. It has been a hugely signifcant development for the industry.
“The timeliness of the sales have been crucial. Traditionally, outside the live auctions, participants’ only access to a market was the private market and ultimately that didn’t serve everyone efectively. However, the digital auctions, with stock advertised publicly and available for registered bidders, mean that anyone can buy or sell a horse and nobody is excluded from the opportunity to buy or sell stock pretty much whenever they want.
“It has created a scenario where buyers and sellers get more satisfaction from the market. Buyers have access, year round, to a higher-calibre of stock and vendors are
seeing the value of stock increase because of consistent access to a vibrant, liquid market through Inglis Digital.”
Hutch believes there is also a direct correlation between the growth and value of Australian bloodstock and the emergence of the Inglis Digital platform.
“If you look at the amount of money turned over on Australian Bloodstock in a calendar year in 2019, it was something in the region of $695,000,000 and the calendar year of 2022 it is already in excess of $940,000,000. This is an extraordinary volume of growth in a three year period and arguably the single biggest variable has been the evolution of the digital marketplace,” he said.
Ultimately, any sale is most fairly judged on the success of its graduates and from that perspective, Inglis Ditgial is excelling. In the Australian racing season 2020/21, Inglis Digital graduates won one in nine races in Australia, which soared to one in six in 2021/22. Hutch believes the amazing statistic and regular success of Inglis Digital graduates has become an extremely important variable in terms of the growth of the sale.
“Last season, graduates of the platform won 3057 races and almost $44,000,000 in prizemoney in
Australia alone, which I think perfectly demonstrates how important the platform has become,” he explained.
Such has been the growth and success of the platform, the auction house announced earlier in 2022 a new Horse of the Month and Horse of the Year award system, targeting its Inglis Digital graduates.
The company will identify an Inglis Digital graduate each month as its Horse of the Month, and each of these monthly winners will be a fnalist for the overall Inglis Digital Horse of the Year. The fnal award winner will be announced at the end of the racing season, with the purchaser of the Inglis Digital Horse of the Year receiving a $25,000 Inglis Digital credit.
“A huge number of horses that have been bought through the digital platform have gone on to be very successful and that is part of what stimulated our idea of the Inglis Digital Horse Of The Month and the Inglis Digital Horse Of The Year, to try and further demonstrate the opportunities available through the platform to buy good racehorses, or good breeding stock or good trading stock, or whatever you want to buy, you can buy it on Inglis Digital,” said Hutch.
One of Inglis Digital’s biggest success stories over the past 12 months is She’s Extreme, who was purchased as a weanling by One Plus Investments for $32,500 in the Inglis Digital June (Late) Sale from the Aquis Farm draf in 2020. The daughter of Extreme Choice handed the buyers an almost instant return on their investment when they sold her to trainer Anthony Cummings for $275,000 at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale the following year.
She’s Extreme has proved a revelation for her owners, winning both the G1 Champagne Stakes and G3 Magic Night Stakes as a 2YO and fnished runner-up in the G1 Flight Stakes as a 3YO behind fellow Easter superstar Zougotcha, on her way to a comfortable win in the G1 VRC Oaks during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Monique Annetts, one of She’s Extreme’s owners and an avid user of the Inglis Digital platform, said racing the flly had given her an immense amount of pleasure.
“She has been an amazing filly for us and you can tell people are interested because anywhere we go people are keen to talk to us about her and about her future,” Annetts said.
“The amount of people that say to me they wish they’d bought her at the Inglis Digital Sale. Anthony Cummings himself said he had seen her in December and then when we saw her at the Easter Sale, he said he had seen enough to know he was completely certain he was getting involved with her.”
Recently, Annetts has dipped her toe in the breeding pool and she said the sales on Inglis Digital have been an immensely useful tool when attempting to secure quality bloodstock outside the usual live auctions.
“I love the Inglis Digital platform and I have purchased a few mares on there,” she explained. “I look mostly at the mares and we have bought four mares from there previously. We sold two of our mares on that platform as well and when the time was right
for us it means we can get them sold whenever now. It is so easy to use and I just love that text message telling me: ‘the Inglis Sale is Live’.”
Despite the growing popularity of their digital market, Inglis are far from resting on their laurels and there are already plans in the pipeline to enhance this area of the market further and seemingly the sky is very much the limit.
“It’s a case of success breeding success and I think the platform is only going to continue to develop in terms of the quality of stock and the volume of users. ” said Hutch. “We are constantly working to improve the user experience and the future of Inglis Digital looks very bright indeed.”
Kuldeep Singh Rajput brings two contrasting, but equally fascinating, backgrounds that have each played a vital role in forming his rising force in the bloodstock world, Gandharvi.
On one hand Rajput has a strong family background in horse breeding, where patience is paramount. On the other hand, the bio pharmacist and CEO of digital health company Biofourmis has made a name for himself in the fast-paced world of venture capitalism and start-ups.
It would seem these worlds couldn’t be more diferent but Rajput is leaning on both, and sees similarities, as he builds Gandharvi from the ground up.
“When I got into racing, I brought with me my experience from biopharmacy and there are a few learnings I have put into play,” he said. “One is to surround myself with the right team and the right experts to work with. Success is always about the right team and the right people.”
In this case that team and those right people started with esteemed bloodstock agent Michael Wallace, who has been installed as Gandharvi’s Chief Operating Ofcer and Michael Freedman, a horseman well known for his ability with two-year-olds, has been entrusted as the operation’s chief Australian trainer.
Gandharvi’s first Australian runner, Kazou, a graduate of the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, was an impressive debut winner at Royal Randwick
“Once you surround yourself with those people you learn from them, and something that people told me was that having the right goal and strategy for the racing business was key,” Rajput said. “Racing takes a lot of patience. Outside of horse racing for me, in my business life, it is all about speed and how fast you can move in the marketplace, but when it comes to racing and horses, one thing I have learnt is that you just have to be patient and go with the fow.’’
Rajput is living his childhood dream, reclaiming a family legacy lef by his great grandparents in India.
“They bred horses but nobody really carried that forward,” said Rajput, who now splits his time between Singapore and the United States. “When I was growing up I would always watch racing and had this dream that one day I would own my own racehorse, and I had an opportunity to buy my frst horse in October 2020.”
That frst horse was in his part-time base of Singapore, where he still races an impressive group of young horses selected and prepared by champion trainer Michael Clements.
“My frst horse was a tried horse but then I linked with Michael Clements, who is a great man, very honest, up front and we took a slightly diferent approach,” Rajput said. “Instead of buying tried horses and ready-to-race horses, we decided to go to Australia and Inglis and buy a whole bunch of yearlings. We bought six horses. Michael worked with Bevan Smith and we were able to acquire some very nice yearlings, they went to New Zealand, have been broken in and three of them have now shipped to Singapore. We were patient but it has already paid of.”
That initial foray into ownership was clearly the spark that started a fre within Rajput, who sees his group as a breeding, rather than racing, operation in the long term.
“The word Gandharvi is Sanskrit and means frst mother of horses, so it is an appropriate name for the breeding aspect of what we want to achieve,” he said.
Few newcomers to the sport bring the type of modern business acumen Rajput boasts. A former Forbes “30 under 30” member, Rajput is a highly regarded angel or seed investor.
That background as a venture capitalist for whom the idea behind “colts funds” – spreading risk across various investments – is not a foreign concept. “From a business perspective, I see the colts as venture capital investment, like where you invest in 30, 40
or 50 companies out of a fund and eventually hope that it will be one or two that pay of, it’s the same as looking for the horses that eventually make a stallion.
“Of course there is excitement and fun about racing and breeding, but it isn’t just fun, whatever I get into I look at it as a new venture and look at what the return is. So when I looked at racing, it was all about asking what is my strategy? When I grew my businesses I was always asking ‘what is my fve year strategy?’”
Although he has teamed with top buyers for a piece of some serious potential stallions, Rajput and Wallace have built that fve year strategy around securing fllies with pedigrees.
“I didn’t only want to make those bets where we buy 50 or 60 colts and hope for one,” he says. “So we took a diferent path and rather than quick returns, we will focus on long-term value and focus on fllies. We are afer deep family pedigrees that will have good residual value and hope that some of these horses will also be able to race.”
Although Rajput is getting involved in a bloodstock market that is seemingly booming, his business instincts tell him that it is still the right time to invest in the Australian market.
“Horse racing, in my mind, is a non-correlated asset,” he said. “Even if there are fuctuations in other markets, racing has stayed strong, as was proven last year. If you look at the public markets today, it has completely collapsed, infation is so high but the sales results have remained strong and prizemoney is high. That is another reason why we wanted to really take an approach of a safer bet, longer term investment, focus on mares, focus on fllies and that is how we would approach it, just making sure that we have some exposure to colts at smaller percentages.”
It is clear Rajput brings a serious and analytical edge to whatever he does but there is still room for fun and something that encourages the 32-year-old is the enthusiasm his friends have shown for the sport.
“That is one of the things that really interested me when I got into racing a little over a year ago,” he said. “I had so many friends who reached out to me and said ‘this is so cool and this is fun,’ they really had no idea about horse racing at all, but they were asking if there was an opportunity to invest a little, let’s say US$100,000, and be part of the excitement and the fun and hopefully in that journey, make some money.”
Patience pays for Gandharvi
“I was born into racing. My father was a leading amateur jockey over jumps in the UK afer World War II and then became a very successful breeder back in Ireland. All the old family photos show me on a horse from the time I could walk. I fox hunted across Ireland on a lethal pony who would jump a 10-foot hedge from a very early age. I was taken to the races regularly and given pocket money for punting to encourage me to understand form. School was more around studying the form in the sporting
life. My scholastic career came to an abrupt end when it was discovered I ran a very proftable bookmaking/bottle shop business at school. On returning home my father, who was quite proud of my expulsion, said: ‘You are not joining the army or going to University - one is a waste of my money and the other a waste of your time.’ So I did the Irish National Stud course, rode a few winners over the jumps then headed to Claiborne Farm and the rest is history, including many great times in Australia.’’
“Growing up, my father was a trainer at Bendigo. My dad had stables at the back of the track next to Rick Hore-Lacy, I was quite young but it was a great experience. Afer my parents separated we moved to Wagga Wagga where I continued to ride competitively in Eventing and Pony Club. Going to the races was always on the agenda with meetings like the Wagga Gold Cup, Snake Gully Cup at Gundagai and Tumbarumba Cup etc. Afer fnishing High School, I completed the Marcus Oldham course in Geelong and started at Coolmore two weeks later. Peter O’Brien gave me a job at Coolmore and I got to work with the stallions - Encosta De Lago was the frst stallion I ever handled. I was able to travel to Coolmore America for two
seasons where I learnt a lot and met some great people. I shuttled to Swettenham with Hold That Tiger in between. I eventually returned to work for Darley in Victoria doing stallions and briefy nominations. By chance I got to meet HE Nasser Lootah who ofered me a job doing nominations and working under Trevor Lobb, where I gained massive experience. In 2015 I was given the opportunity to run Emirates Park as General Manager. I have been with Emirates Park now 14 years and managing horses in UK, USA and Australia. We have had some great times with Golden Slippers with Mossfun and Estijaab and some top fllies with Enthaar, Najoom, Shumookh and One More Honey etc.”
“I grew up on a farm in Sufolk, my father farming and my mother running a children’s nursery school that my parents had converted from an old granary barn. I had a desperate love for ponies from a young age. We had mares and foals on the farm and afer much pleading I was eventually allowed a pony! My uncle trains in Newmarket so I always followed his runners from a young age and attended the yearling and foal sales as much as I could whilst still at school. I completed a BA (Hons) Degree in PR and Media
Communications but then decided that the bloodstock industry was the one that I wanted to carve out a career in. I knew David Redvers from the sales and heard that he was looking for an assistant. I met him at Tattersalls and he simply said, ‘I can’t do this on my own anymore, I need an assistant!’ In 2006 I began working for him at Tweenhills Stud in Gloucestershire. Now 16 years later I am still here but my role and responsibilities have changed considerably in that time as the farm and bloodstock agency have developed.’’
CATRIONA MURPHY – Co-owner, Sledmere Stud
“I was born into the industry and my family on both sides were heavily involved with breeding and racing. My mother’s side dates back fve generations of trainers, stud masters and horsemen and women. Our family property started in the early 1900s at St Albans Stud in Geelong, Victoria and that’s where the STA brand comes from. My great great great grandfather Guy Raymond was a VRC Committee Chairman and also purchased Sledmere Stud in Scone and the STA breeding empire commenced.
I grew up in Dungog with my brother Jock. Mum and dad bred Angus cattle, polo ponies and thoroughbreds. I was surrounded by incredible horsemen and learnt everything from my late father who was captain of the Australian Polo team for over a decade and played professionally from a very young age.
As a young girl I loved pony club. I
was always going to pony club camps, Jamborees, Royal Shows, Show Jumping, Three Day Eventing etc. I also had always loved being with the thoroughbreds and going to the races, so once I fnished school at Frensham I was looking to take it to the next level so I enrolled in Marcus Oldham’s Horse Business Management Course in 1999. Shortly afer completing the course I worked at Widden Stud for four years before joining the nominations team at Darley. One of the greatest thrills and proud moments for Roy and myself here at Sledmere is seeing those great horses come of the property that were conceived, born and raised here at Sledmere go and win the big Group Ones or just any race really and being successful. Royston and I have continued what is a big family tradition and we hope that our two boys Jack & Ted will continue what started over 100 years ago.’’
How did you get your start in the industry?
“Initially my love of the game came from when we used to go on our family holidays from Melbourne in the late 70s to Jerilderie in the Southern Riverina region of NSW. Dad had horses with Ken Sweeney so we’d go and look at them. I fell in love with it and I was desperate to be a jockey, I would have been nine or 10 years old but Ken told me I was never going to make it as a jockey – apparently I had the wrong body shape, who would have thought! I still loved the horses and being around the stables so I continued visiting Ken’s whenever I could. Life and footy took over for a few years but then as a 20-year-old I’d go down regularly on a Friday night afer work in the city and stay with Mick Price at Epsom. He had only had his licence 2-3 years max at the time. I’d stay the weekend, get up in the mornings
and do the horses with Mick, I’d strap some at the races, then he’d let me ride a bit of work – which he taught me how to do - but I was no good at that at all. Noel Callow would take me out and terrorise me on the track! I got my real start in the industryin terms of making an income out of the game – many years later in my early 30s. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I’d had a million jobs but the interest in horses was always there and then a good mate of mine said I should transfer that passion into sourcing some horses for people. My frst invoice I ever sent was to Andrew Ramsden (ex VRC Chairman etc) who has been a big supporter of mine. I bought him a quarter share in Count Ricardo, who went on to run third in the Derby and win a Sandown Classic as a 3YO.’’
HAWTHORNE
– Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock
“I was born on a stud farm – Paramount Stud – in the 70s in Hawkes Bay so I was basically literally born into this. I started foaling down mares and prepping yearlings when I was about 12 years old so I haven’t really ever done anything else except the racing game. Back in those days especially it was a great industry to be in in NZ, it was really progressive and it was thriving. I suppose you always think of trying other things and switching things up – maybe more so lately, given how things are in NZ at the moment –but honestly I never was really going to do anything else. We were Ready2Race vendors under the Anzac Lodge banner for years
and I did Three Day Eventing for a while but I’m glad I ended up down the path I did. As for how I got into the agent side of things, we had a breaking in/spelling/agistment farm in the 90s and the Australians would frequent it a lot and leave a lot of horses there for difering reasons, either to have them broken in or to get some of the good NZ grass into them as they developed and matured or spelled etc. As a result of that we had a lot of Australian clients and it just went from there really. Jonathan Munz came along in 2011 and I started managing his bloodstock side of things and we’ve had a really successful relationship ever since.’’
JUSTIN
Another One is the type of horse anyone would be proud to own. While the fve-year-old is no superstar in the Winx or Nature Strip category, the $18,000 Inglis Classic Sale graduate has more than modest ability.
That talent was on display when he won the Country Championships Final, a race reserved for horses based in regional NSW. The winning cheque for that victory saw the gelding’s career earnings soar from $470,000 to over three-quarters of a million. Not bad for a horse that has never contested a Stakes race.
But when it comes to horses with extensive prizemoney, Another One is far from alone. In fact, one in every 57 horses that competed on the track in the 2021-22 racing season had earnings above the half a million dollar mark.
And those numbers will continue to grow apace as Australia enjoys a prizemoney explosion, which provides owners with an unparalleled opportunity to get a return on their investment.
In the past decade total purses for fat racing have surged by 92%. This has seen the values of all races, from minor maidens at country tracks through to the metropolitan meetings that take place at the major tracks, soar.
But if there is one area that has grown exponentially, it is the top end: just seven years ago there were 36 million dollar races each season, while in 2023 that number will be 87.
This means there will be a race worth $1 million or more every four days, on average, in Australia next year.
To provide some international context, in America there were
57 races worth A$1 million or more in 2022, while across the whole of Europe (including the UK), that number was just 23.
Of course, it’s not just our returns to owners that are top class, the quality of Australian bloodstock is there for all to see.
Nowhere was this more obvious than Royal Ascot, where Nature Strip, long regarded as Australia’s leading sprinter, took on Europe’s best as well as American G1-winning speedster Golden Pal.
The result could not have been more emphatic, with Nature Strip demolishing the feld by almost fve lengths. That victory will almost certainly mean he is again crowned the world’s highest rated sprinter, a title that has been won by horses carrying the AUS sufx in seven of the past 10 years.
When it comes to action on the track, Australia also hosts more elite races than any other jurisdiction according to the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA).
In 2021 Australia hosted a quarter of the world’s highest rated G1s, while in 2020 it was 24; meaning that in both years Australia had more races ranked in the top 100 than any other country. In fact, in the past seven years, Australia has topped that list fve times.
Despite the riches on ofer and despite the quality of our bloodstock, it is more afordable to invest in the Australian market than other major racing jurisdictions.
Over the past fve years, buyers who sought a leading prospect from yearling sales would have had to pay less here than America or Europe.
For example, the average price for the top 50 yearling colts sold at auction in diferent jurisdictions in 2022 is as follows (in US$): USA $1,125,000; Europe $1,116,000 and Australia $841,000.
It is the same for the most prized yearling fllies: USA $893,000; Europe $805,000 and Australia $684,000.
With most major breeders in Australia ofering their stock for sale, buyers also get the opportunity to access the best families in the stud book. This refects in the number of G1
winners that were available to buy as yearlings.
In the past three years some 70% of locally produced top level winners were available at public auction as yearlings, a higher proportion than any other country.
And if one of those colts happens to become a stallion prospect, the rewards on ofer match or surpass those available elsewhere. With multiple farms having the resources to compete for the top prospects, in recent years there have been a number of horses sold to stud for valuations in excess of $30 million.
To get yourself a stallion prospect you need to be buying an Australian-bred. In the past decade the winners of each of the key stallion making races - the Blue Diamond, Golden Slipper, Sires Produce, Caulfeld Guineas, Golden Rose and Coolmore Stud Stakes - have been produced locally.
This Australian dominance is backed up by performance in the breeding barn: at the end of last season nine out of the top 10 stallions in the General Sires List were locals, and all but one had been through the sales ring as a yearling.
For those buyers targeting yearling fllies, there is also the option of trading in for a strong return if they have a well-performed prospect.
In the past three years 22 G1-winning fllies or mares have been sold at auction for an average of $1,871,000, while in 2022 some 31 Group winners traded hands publicly for an average of $883,550.
All up this means that if you’re considering investing in a yearling in 2023, Australia really is the land of opportunity.

Photography is key to conveying the emotion involved during Inglis sales and creating content that tells the story of the hard work and dedication of our clients in order to achieve life changing results. Two of Inglis’ photographers facilitating this are Ashlea Brennan & Laura Lebedef and we asked which photos are their favourites of the year.
Through the Lens
Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, Mane Lodge: I had driven down to Mane Lodge to photograph this draf but the weather wasn’t too kind to us with rain so we had to reschedule. The date we rescheduled it for ended up being one of the hottest days we had so they didn’t turn out as well as we thought again. At the end of the day it didn’t matter, with lot 313 selling for $825,000 and the team at Mane Lodge were incredibly overwhelmed by the result.
Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, Pink Bonus Series: Another Inglis Pink Bonus horse to join the Stiletto Sprinters team with Annabel Neasham and Mitchell Bloodstock. I love this photo because it’s funny and shows exactly what it would be like owning a horse with Annabel and James, a fun experience with lots of laughs! The flly was particularly fond of James.
Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, Linda Monds: This particular flly out of Pinocchio held a very special spot in Linda’s heart. She sold for a whopping $2,000,000 and afer I got some shots of the flly in the ring I knew the prime position would be behind Linda in the box. This photo to me is pure admiration and love for the horse, and a proud moment for her and her husband Laurence.
Inglis Australian Weanling Sale, Jimmy Unwala: Emotion is one of the key things I am asked to capture at any Inglis sale and this photo to me sums up exactly what my role is. For Jimmy I’m sure it was pure relief when the hammer went down but for me it was a beautiful moment capturing everything he would have been feeling at that time.
This shot has to be one of my favourites. I love the atmosphere of it and I love when handlers share a moment with their horses just before going through the ring.
This one was taken at the Premier Sale and this fashy yearling caught my eye. It is a simple photo but I like how the contrast of light and shadow makes it a little bit special. Did you know that photography literally means writing with light?
Inglis The Chairman’s Sale, Golden Hour: Golden hour is my favorite time of the day for arty shots. I took this photo right before the Chairman’s Sale whilst a mare was getting groomed. I really like how the lighting draws attention to the details.

Not only is TDN AusNZ the primary editorial publication that we advertise in, but the new podcast has taken off after only a few weeks so we absolutely had to sponsor that too. It’s a great publication and a must-read every single day for anyone serious about bloodstock.
- Henry Field, Newgate Farm
We were in desperate need of a bloodstock publication in Australia with in-depth editorial, robust research and quality journalism. Now that TDN AusNZ is here, all that is covered and more.

Firmly recognised as a launch pad for champions on the track and at stud - established and budding - the Inglis Race Series for the 2022/23 season took on a distinctive look with a return to pre-Covid prizemoney levels and the unveiling of the Pink Bonus Series. Graduates of recent Inglis sales will be running for $7.55 million of which a cool $1 million has been poured into the innovative Inglis Pink Bonus Series for 2022 sales alumni where 75% of the ownership is female. The 75% threshold has the twofold beneft of providing greater opportunities for female ownership while protecting one of Australian racing’s great foundation stones, inclusivity.
Scrolling through the records it is striking that rarely has a galloper of only average ability met with Race Series success on the day, but that doesn’t mean a winner will cost the earth. Prime examples are She Will Reign who made just $20,000, Nature Strip carried just a $120,000 reserve while the $100,000 it took to purchase Extreme Choice looks trifing with hindsight. The racetrack earnings alone for this trio now stands at upwards of
$25.5 million, and counting – not to mention Extreme Choice’s astronomical value as a stallion or She Will Reign’s as a broodmare.
It was January 2018 when the old Nature Strip, the one with the abundance of talent but still learning how to harness it properly, wobbled down the Flemington straight in the Inglis Dash before beating the course specialist Prezado by three quarters of a length. That was his fourth win from fve starts, but the day most of us thought he might be the real deal. Of course we weren’t thinking four and a half lengths of Royal Ascot daylight between him and the best the Northern Hemisphere could muster, but it was a clear indication Nature Strip promised to be a little bit special.
The previous season there had been the fairytale of She Will Reign, Darby Racing’s bargain buy who backed up seven days afer a debut win at Kembla Grange to triumph in the Inglis Nursery by four lengths over subsequent G2 Skyline Stakes winner Diamond Tathagata. Who can forget the scenes at Rosehill the following March where space on the podium was at an absolute premium as it seemed half of Sydney had a share in the flly post her Golden Slipper win.
As her trainer Gary Portelli said: “I thought the Nursery might be her pinnacle at the time because she was so fast, so before then the Slipper wasn’t on the radar although it was a dream. Afer she won the Nursery by four lengths we sat down and thought ‘OK, we’ve got a proper horse here’ and started planning for the Slipper.”
Then consider Extreme Choice, a Classic Sale purchase for Mick Price Racing. Price chose to debut his charge in the Inglis Nursery, a springboard for a successful campaign culminating in a G1 Blue Diamond Stakes win. “If they are ready and capable, I like to give our two-year-olds a run before Christmas,” Price explained. “The Inglis Nursery allows horses to have a run then a short break before their autumn preparation. The most important factor was it allowed the owners the potential of a quick return in their investment which is what it’s all about.” Of course we now recognise Extreme Choice as the most potent young colonial stallion to emerge in many a year.
And Extreme Choice isn’t the only winner of an Inglis Race Series race now settled into life as a stallion. Castelvecchio unleashed a dynamic fnish to win the inaugural $2m Inglis
Millennium for Josh Parr and trainer Richard Litt before going on to win the G1 Champagne Stakes three starts later and the G1 Rosehill Guineas the following season, not to mention a Cox Plate second placing behind Japanese champion Lys Gracieux. The $150,000 Classic Sale buy now calls Arrowfeld Stud home. And like Extreme Choice, Wild Ruler’s racetrack career began with success in the Inglis Nursery before the now Newgate-based stallion leapt to a career high winning the G1 Moir Stakes. Yet another Nursery winner was Acrobat who we only got to see once on the track thanks to a freak injury, but his time of 56.02secs and 33.02secs over the last 600m makes the term ‘low fying’ seem highly inadequate. And when considering exceptionally fast two-year-olds of recent times, Profteer will leap to mind; he ‘only’ won his edition of the Millennium by fve and a quarter lengths. That these races only carry Restricted Listed status matters not - it’s becoming ever more common for Group race success to beckon the winner.
And Race Series glory is not the sole domain of outstanding colts, with She Will Reign the pinup for the ladies. Then there is Rubisaki who, in her prime as a three-year-old, was one of the most exciting fllies in training reeling of six straight wins,
amongst them the Inglis Sprint at Warwick Farm. There is also an expectation that more stories will be written in years to come around the Inglis Bracelet, a recent addition to the VRC Oaks card and a race that befts Ladies Day at the Melbourne Cup Carnival. The 2021 winner Foxy Frida from the Andrew Noblet yard subsequently franked the form over the Adelaide Carnival and looks a player again for seasons to come.
With early registrations for the Pink Bonus Series outstripping expectations, Inglis already believe the initiative is a tremendous success. There is no doubt the 75% female ownership threshold makes it easier to fll horses for trainers and syndicators alike. Putting a share ‘in the wife’s name’ was always questionable and why should anyone be denied the opportunity of owning a horse they particularly like based on their gender?
That was the crux of the discussion for the team at Inglis when formulating plans as CEO Bloodstock Sales, Sebastian Hutch, explained. “The response to the Pink Bonus Series has been fantastic. Every day throughout the year we learn about the diverse types of people involved in horse ownership, and we get exposure to fantastic stories all the time. We felt the Pink Bonus
Series was an opportunity to highlight an area for growth by further encouraging female participation without excluding male ownership in any horse. Ours is an inclusive sport so we wanted to incentivise ownership without excluding one demographic or another. The Pink Bonus Series is seen as a positive step, but it can only be if it doesn’t exclude the participation of other parties.”
If the proof of the pudding be in the eating, then early indications are owners are simply devouring the concept, as Hutch points out. “The response to the scheme has been excellent and given the track record these initiatives have, we expect there will be some fascinating stories come out with these ownership groups chasing the bonuses.’’
That couldn’t have rung truer when in the frst of the Pink Bonus Series-eligible races – the Listed Inglis Banner at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day – Arkansaw Kid not only won the race ($300,000 to the winner) but also secured the inaugural Pink Bonus Series cheque of $200,000 for his connections.
“To put that into perspective, we only paid $190,000 for him at the Classic Yearling Sale and today he’s not only got black type at his frst start, but he’s paid for himself with the bonus alone,
let alone the overall prizemoney for coming frst,’’ winning cotrainer Ben Hayes said afer the race.
Hayes and his brother JD of Lindsay Park purchased the colt out of the Sledmere Stud draf at Classic and immediately Jenny McAlpine – who works at Lindsay Park – set about putting together a syndicate that ensured Arkansaw Kid would be eligible for the Pink Bonus on ofer.
“It was all about getting a group of girls…great owners, together, to buy a horse that qualifed for the Inglis Pink Bonus Series. It was just a no-brainer,’’ McAlpine said.
“I said to the girls ‘Inglis has got a great initiative going on, we’re in with a big chance to get some of the bonus money’ and I’m just so happy for them that we got the money at the frst available opportunity.
“How happy are we! And how good is horse racing and prizemoney and Inglis!’’
So with prizemoney levels at an all-time high, the Inglis Race Series and the associated Pink Bonus Series ofer unprecedented opportunities for buyers to maximise their returns and enjoy the thrills of the greatest sport on turf.
