Trans-Tasman Oaks winner Pennyweka is the latest Group 1 winner who has been added to this year's Chairman's Sale with the daughter of Satono Aladdin one of three high-profile additions to the catalogue announced by Inglis on Thursday.
The Jim Wallace-trained four-year-old joins Group 1 placegetters Hope In Your Heart and C'est Magqiue as the latest entries in the sale that already featured She's Extreme, Startantes, Kimochi and Melbourne Cup placegetter High Emocean.
Pennyweka has not started since her win in the Group 1 ATC Australian Oaks last April, which followed victory in the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks, and Wallace said the traits that make her a star racehorse would assist her in the breeding barn.
"The greatest thing about her was her temperament, she was simply unflappable,'' Wallace said.
"(She's) just one of those horses with amazing lungs. It didn't matter how far she was asked to go, she just thrived.
"She was a natural athlete (and) her ability to quicken during a race was extraordinary.
"She'll be a sensational broodmare. If she passes that temperament of hers onto her progeny, she could be anything. She's sound as a bell, she's never had a day of soreness in her life."
By a Group 1-winning son of Deep Impact, Pennyweka is out of the Pentire mare Threepence, who is a half-sister to Auckland Cup winner Titch.
Hope In Your Heart, a daughter of Dundeel, posted her biggest win in the Group 2 Guy Walter Stakes but has acquitted herself well at Group 1 level including a second placing to Atishu in the Queen Of The Turf and a fourth placing in last year's Doncaster Mile, won by Mr Brightside.
Hope In Your Heart is being offered as a racing and breeding prospect as part of the Torryburn Stud draft.
"She's currently spelling and will be ready to come back in ahead of The Chairman's Sale so she will be perfectly let down to head straight to the breeding barn or ready to be prepared for the Spring Carnival, pending what the new owners want to do with her,'' Torryburn's Mel Copelin said.
C'est Magqiue, a Zoustar half-sister to Blue Diamond winner Written By, finished second to In Secret in the Coolmore Stud Stakes and will get the chance to add to her race record before the sale, as soon as this Saturday at Randwick, where she is an acceptor in the Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality.
"She's continued to train on, she's sound as a bell, she's not over-raced and she'll run very well on Saturday from a perfect draw," owner Neville Begg said.
"She has a lot of racing ahead of her, she's going to give her new owners a rare opportunity to buy a mare who can race at the elite level for seasons to come if they choose, and then become an elite broodmare.''
This year's Chairman's Sale will be held Inglis's Riverside Complex at Warwick Farm on May 9.
