19 lots will be offered on Inglis Digital as part of their next online sale.
With uncertainty surrounding the bloodstock industry due to coronavirus which is sweeping across the globe, Woodside Park Stud will be selling 19 outstanding unreserved lots to be sold online in the next Inglis Late March Online Sale, which will run from March 20 to 25.
The Victoria-based stud will have an open-door policy and welcomes all prospective buyers to inspect the horses on offer prior to bidding on Sunday (March 22) and Monday (March 23) at 2-4pm at 95 Central Rd, Tylden.
Woodside Park's James Price said the stud had taken extensive footage of each lot for prospective buyers who are unable to do on-farm inspections
"For those interested parties that cannot come and see the mares and foals in the flesh, we have taken the time to produce brilliant footage of each lot. This will be a true and accurate impression of each horse on offer, complemented by professional photography," Price said.
"These videos will take online buying to the next level. It is by far the best quality footage that has ever been produced for an online sale. The imagery will be transparent and informative, giving the buyer wonderful confidence when they purchase their next bloodstock investment."
Amongst this stellar draft of 18 mares and one weanling, are four "3 in 1" packages, nine in-foal mares, and two mares with foals at foot.
"As a whole, the group boasts outstanding proven stakes performing and producing mares, half-sisters and daughters to Group 1 winners and relations to some of the most sought-after families in the Australian stud book," Price continued.
"It's vital that we constantly evolve and modify our industry to what is happening worldwide. With the impact the Coronavirus is currently making on traditional sales held on complex, we are taking advantage of the online market and making it convenient for the buyer to access quality bloodstock in the comfort of their home or office. In the future, there is no doubt that this will become an essential part of buying and selling bloodstock around the country."
Some of the mares presented include a stakes-placed Written Tycoon (Iglesia) mare, Anelene, the half-sister to Group 1 winner Volkstock'n'Barrell (Tavistock), a half-sister to Phelan Ready (More Than Ready) and proven producer, Could Be Something (General Nediym).
The draft also includes Helping Hand (Fusaichi Pegasus) a half-sister to Group 2 winner No Evidence Needed (Shamardal), and Tie Me Up (Royal Academy) the dam of Magic Millions Sprint (1200m) winner Husson Eagle (Husson).
"Many of the mares have tested positive to Woodside's resident stallions, Cable Bay, Foxwedge, Rich Enuff and Tosen Stardom, under the guidance and management of our expert veterinary support team, and the foals at foot are professionally raised and grown on-farm by our experienced and dedicated staff," said Price.
"The sale opens this Friday, and we look forward to some healthy competition in the online market. To all buyers, good luck and happy bidding."
