A breeding right in boom first-season sire Anamoe (Street Boss) topped the opening day of the Inglis Digital Australia April (Late) Online Sale, April 29, selling to Bangaloe Stud's Julia Ritchie for AU$450,000 (US$320,632, AU$1=US$0.71).
While the April (Late) sale will officially end April 30 with the inaugural Australian Broodmare Sale session, Wednesday's results provided a strong start to what is the first-ever Inglis Digital auction to close out across multiple days.
The Anamoe breeding right was offered by Aristia Park on behalf of John Guscic, who said: "Selling the Anamoe breeding right through Inglis Digital was a seamless process—their team was incredibly professional, proactive, and supportive every step of the way.
"I'm very grateful for their expertise and reach. To the new owner, I wish them the very best of luck.''
The purchase for Ritchie came 12 months to the day after she was the successful bidder in a Zoustar share in the 2025 Inglis Digital Australia April (Late) Sale, but this time it was a breeding right in Anamoe, whose yearlings sold up to AU$1.1 million in his first crop to the sales this year.
"I've been accruing a quality broodmare band over the past few years, and as such, I'm now accruing a quality bunch of stallion shares and breeding rights that work for my mares,'' Ritchie said.
"Anamoe has done such a good job early, he's producing popular young horses, and I'm sure they'll shine on the track later this year and into the future, so I wanted to get in early and be part of the Anamoe journey.''
In total, Wednesday's opening session of the April (Late) sale grossed AU$1,738,050 (US$1,238,387) at an 84% clearance rate.
