In Her Time another hot addition to Chairman’s Sale
Dual Group 1 winner In Her Time (Time Thief) is the latest high-profile addition to May’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale, a year after the mare topped the sale for $2 million when purchased by Newgate on behalf of Orbis Bloodstock.
This year, the now eight-year-old daughter of Time Thief (Redoute’s Choice) is being offered in foal to I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), with Orbis having decided that breeding will not be a key focus of theirs. She will be offered within the Newgate Farm draft.
“In Her Time was one of the best sprinting mares we’ve seen in the past decade and she’s from a very deep family,’’ Newgate managing director Henry Field said.
“We purchased her on behalf of Orbis at last year’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale as they were dissolving a partnership.
“Orbis have opted to offer her for sale this year as the decision has been made that breeding will not be their key focus.”
In Her Time, who broke through for her maiden Group 1 success when winning The Galaxy (Gr 1, 1100m) in March 2018 having won three times at Group 2 level and placed three times in Group 1 company, followed up with victory in the Lightning Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) down the Flemington straight in February 2019 after being transferred to trainer Kris Lees.
“It’s a privilege to be consigning a mare of this quality,” added Field.
“She’s been a dream to have had residing on the farm, having gone in foal to I Am Invincible on an early September cover and I have no doubt she will be one of the most highly sought-after pregnant mares that gets offered at public auction anywhere in the world in 2021.”
In Her Time is out of Zeditave (The Judge) mare Hell It’s Hot, a half-sister to stakes winners Hot As Hell (County), Flaming Hot (County) and Craig’s Dragon (Catbird), as well as Sin Sin Sin (Fantastic Light), the dam of Everest (1200m) winner Yes Yes Yes (Rubick) and the stakes-placed Dee Nine Elle (Duporth).
Inglis’ NSW bloodstock manager, Chris Russell, said: “She has got everything you would want in a mare and she’s carrying to I Am Invincible – packages like that come on the open market very, very rarely.
“We are obviously incredibly grateful for the opportunity that the owners have given to us and I think, in partnership with Newgate who are such great consignors, we can deliver a fantastic sale.”
The Inglis Chairman’s Sale will take place at Riverside Stables on Friday, May 7.
