William Inglis & Son's Managing Direction Reg Inglis said he was delighted with the catalogue he had prepared for the three day selling spectacular.

"There is no shortage of yearlings from star racemares including 54 from Group One winners," he added.

Those Group One winners represented include Let's Elope, Dane Ripper, Lady Jakeo, Joie Denise, Savannah Success, Burst, Tycoon Lil, Danendri, Assertive Lass, Triscay, Ruffles, Midnight Fever, Zacheline, Euphoria, La Volta, Alacrity, Coogee Walk and Mannerism.

The sale will kick away with the first of three sessions from 10.30am on Tuesday April 2. It will the continue over the following two days.
