Newgate Farm were the leading consignor at a spectacular Inglis Chairman’s Sale at Riverside Stables on Friday evening, selling all 10 lots offered for $5,845,000 highlighted by the sale-topper Maastricht, who was knocked down to Coolmore /James Bester Bloodstock for $2,250,000.

A stunning grey Mastercraftsman mare, Group II placed Maastricht is the dam of this season’s Group I placed Group III winning juvenile Loving Gaby and was offered for sale back in foal to Loving Gaby’s sire I Am Invincible.

She was consigned on behalf of her owners Alan Bell and Ananda Krishnan.

“If you go back, she’s the highest-priced Mastercraftsman in the southern hemisphere, her first foal Loving Gaby is right up there as the best 2YO of her season, her filly foal on the ground by Sebring is dead-set beautiful and she’s back in foal to Vinnie as her third cover,” said Newgate Farm’s Bruce Slade.

“She’s still so young, a blue hen in the making.”

Newgate also consigned Group I MRC Thousand Guineas winner winner Aloisia, who was sold to Hilldene Farm / Peter Ford Thoroughbreds for $1,200,000.

“We are very thankful to Terry Henderson and the OTI syndicate for entrusting us with the mare. I have only got to know her for the past two days, but I am deadset in love. She is a queen,” said Bruce Slade.

“I am pleased that Nick (Wakim) has purchased her. He has got the highest quality mares in Australia, a tiny boutique group of them, and she is going to get the best opportunity at stud.”
