Inglis announce Berimbau, dam of multiple Group 1 winner Imperatriz, among late entries 

On Wednesday, Inglis announced that nine supplementary lots have been added to their forthcoming Chairman's Sale. 

Among the additions is Berimbau (Shamardal), dam of the Mark Walker-trained five-time Group 1 winner Imperatriz (I Am Invincible), who is being sold in foal to I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), thus carrying a full sibling to Imperatriz. 

Group 1 winner Inspirational Girl (Reliable Man) as well as stakes winning fillies Scorched Earth (Nicconi) and Dashing Legend (Snitzel) are also among the late entries. 

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch is excited for next month's sale. 

"I didn't think the catalogue could get any better following the initial launch, but there are some incredible lots in the supplementary and it's shaping up to be a special occasion," Hutch said.

"Elite mares like Berimbau – young, proven and in foal to a champion sire – rarely, if ever, come up for auction, so we are hugely grateful for the opportunity to bring her to market.

"The two most recent colts to win the Group 1 Golden Slipper, Stay Inside and Shinzo, were both sold in utero at the Chairman's Sale and Berimbau is the sort of mare that could be carrying a Golden Slipper, a Golden Rose, a Coolmore or an Everest winner.

"The depth of quality through the catalogue is just incredible and there is great variety to it also, which is only enhanced by the addition of the likes of Inspirational Girl, Scored Earth and Dashing Legend.

"It's going to be an occasion not to be missed," added Hutch.
