Arrowfield Stud will have a significant reduction sale next month with the mares being offered at the Inglis Digital April (Late) Online Sale which will be held from April 22 - 27. 
The mares, who include daughters of Snitzel (Redoute's Choice), Redoute's Choice (Danehill), Dundeel (High Chaparral), I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), Dubawi (Dubai Millennium), Encosta De Lago (Fairy King), Fastnet Rock (Danehill) and Deep Impact (Sunday Suilence) will be offered unreserved. 
Arrowfield's Bloodstock Manager Jon Freyer explains: "Our broodmare band numbers have increased substantially in recent years, largely because we have retained a number of fillies from our top families. However, we now find that we have significant duplications and, given the Covid-induced staffing pressures and restrictions on immigration, we felt the time was right to reduce our broodmare numbers to a more manageable level.
"The upside for buyers is that the mares we're offering for unreserved online sale have all been given first-class opportunities and many of them have potentially juicy pedigree updates in the pipeline, with well-bred young progeny on the ground and in top stables. Furthermore, most of them also have female relatives remaining at Arrowfield, so they'll benefit from any future Stakes winners that emerge from our program."
The mares will be offered in foal to sires including Dundeel and his son Castelvecchio, Pariah (Redoute's Choice), The Autumn Sun (Redoute's Choice), Shalaa (Invincible Spirit) and Showtime (Snitzel). 
Inglis Digital's Business Manager Nick Melmeth added: "We are delighted to have been given this rare opportunity by one of the world's leading breeding operations in Arrowfield to offer this appealing collection of mares for online sale.

"Arrowfield is synonymous with success in breeding, so this sale is one that deserves the attention of breeders across Australasia.

"In the lead-up to the sale our team will be working to assist buyers with all the information they need about each of the mares, the details for each of which will be made available online.''

Further details on the draft will be announced following the conclusion of the upcoming Easter Yearling Sale.
