The second highest priced mare sold at the Inglis Broodmare Sale at Riverside Stables on Sunday provided a great result for Newgate Farm when selling for $320,000.

Stakes-placed General Nediym mare Agueda was offered in foal to Capitalist and purchased by Brae Sokolski’s Yes Bloodstock.

Agueda was offered by Newgate Consignment – the mare owned by Newgate staff Jim Carey, Jackson Beirs, Rachel Safir and Leanna Packard – who ended the week as overall leading vendor, grossing $7,329,000 from 25 lots sold.

“It was a great result for them, she’s a very pretty mare, a beautiful mare with the right covering in her,’’ said Newgate’s Henry Field.

“I think she’ll be a really good mare for Yes Bloodstock, they’re very smart operators those guys, they’ve bought the best mare in the sale.

“It’s been a great week. We worked really hard to build a blue chip consignment in the Chairman’s Sale and were leading vendor by twice the amount of the next best vendor.”

Highlighting the Newgate Consignment draft at Inglis Chairman’s Sale were champion sprinter In Her Time, who sold for $2.2million to Yulong and stakes-winning Snitzel mare Meuse, who was bought by Widden Stud for $1.2million.

“We’ve worked really hard to build our brand and our business around a consignment of the highest level of bloodstock with absolute transparency in everything we do, as buyers and sellers and we’ve been rewarded by the market that has supported us well,” Field added.

“Inglis should be commended on a terrific execution of the week. From the weanlings through to the Chairman’s and now the broodmares, it’s all been brilliant.’’

Sokolsi teamed up with Astute Bloodstock at this year’s Classic Sale to purchase Agueda’s Star Turn filly for $310,000, so had another good reason to be taking her home.

“When we bought the filly at Classic, I absolutely loved her as a physical so I know this mare can produce quality types so it’s nice to be able to call her mine now,’’ Sokolski said.

“She’s a natural fit for us because I’m looking to improve and enhance my broodmare band with more quality and proven mares, so the fact she was in foal to Capitalist was just a bonus.

“I’ve got a lot of younger mares, but we want some more proven mares who we know can throw a nice type and she fits that bill.’’
