Tattersalls Inglis Online SH Sale for 2026

From 17 Tuesday to 18 Wednesday February Tattersalls stage their Southern Hemisphere Session its Online February Sale hand-in-hand with Australian’s Inglis Digital.

“We are delighted to once again collaborate with Inglis Digital and to present a session that will attract strong international interest,” said Tattersalls Online Sales Manager Katherine Sheridan.

“This Southern Hemisphere Session offers a unique opportunity. Too Darn Hot’s 2024 Southern Hemisphere foals are limited and when with pedigrees of this quality, the appeal is clear.”

“Katherine raised the possibility of this opportunity and we were very keen for Inglis Digital to be involved as we can add value to the process,” said Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch.

“The collaborations with Tattersalls Online are conversations that we have been having with the team at Tattersalls for a number of years and when we have executed them, they have generated good engagement and a number of excellent results.”

The upcoming Southern Hemisphere Session features a draft from The Castlebridge Consignment, headlined an opportunity to acquire SH-bred progeny by the influential stallion Too Darn Hot.

Making an impact in both hemispheres, Too Darn Hot is the sire of four individual Gr1 winners, including Champion 2YO and multiple Gr1 winner Broadsiding and Gr1 Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel.

In addition, the Gr 1 Futurity Stakes hero Hotazhell heads the international sire sensation who is responsible for 31 individual Stakes winners and 52 black type horses around the world.

The success of his progeny has been pronounced in the Southern Hemisphere, where his first crop, now 4YOs, included 10 individual Stakes winners at a rate of 13% Stakes winners/runners.

His current two-year-old crop in the Southern Hemisphere has produced two stakes winning juveniles from just 7 runners to date.

Among the highlights of the session is a three-in-one package featuring the young mare Moraless offered together with her SH-bred weanling colt by Too Darn Hot and in foal on a SH cover to Champion First Season Sire Starman.

By Churchill, Moraless is half-sister to Gr2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup winner Hunting Morn and Gr2 winning and Gr1 placed juvenile David Livingston, out of Mora Bali, half-sister to Champion sire High Chaparral.

Gr1 winning sprinter Starman has similarly made a remarkable start to his stud career in Ireland, with his first crop including the Gr1 Group 1 Prix Morny winner Venetian Sun.

While demand for his stock was underlined in 2025 when his second-crop yearlings sold for up to 525,000 guineas, A$1.075m, which confirms his growing commercial momentum.

Also offered in the session is a September-born weanling filly by Too Darn Hot out of the proven black type-producing mare Belle Isle, dam of Gr3 Cornwallis Stakes winning 2yo Abel Handy and Gr3 placed sprinter Woody Creek.

Having stood the 2024 Southern Hemisphere season at Darley’s Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket due to ill health, only 32 foals by Too Darn Hot are recorded in the Australian Stud Book from the 2025 foaling season.

“Access to Too Darn Hot was particularly limited in his fifth season because he was domiciled in England, and as such, the is a real scarcity value to these foals,” said Sebastian Hutch.

“Particularly when analysing who holds the balance of the crop, it shows that it is very unlikely that many of his offspring will be available at public auction in Australia either as weanlings in 2026 or as yearlings in 2027.”
