Too Darn Hot opportunity highlights latest Tattersalls and Inglis collaboration
Tattersalls Online has confirmed it will conduct a dedicated Southern Hemisphere section of its Online February Sale, collaborating once more with Inglis Digital.
The Southern Hemisphere Session incudes a three-in-one package featuring the Churchill mare Moraless, offered with her Southern Hemisphere-bred weanling colt by Too Darn Hot and also in foal to Starman.
The six-year-old mare is a half-sister to G2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup winner Hunting Horn as well as Irish Group 2 winner David Livingston
Their dam, Mora Bai, is in turn a half-sister to legendary sire High Chaparral, who has made a major mark in Australia and New Zealand.
Also to be offered in the session is a September-born weanling filly by Too Sarn Hot out of Belle Isle, dam of Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes winning two-year-old Abel Handy.
That foal is one of only 32 Southern Hemisphere foals by young sire sensation Too Darn Hot, as he remained in England in 2024 due to ill heath.
“This Southern Hemisphere Session offers a genuinely unique opportunity. Too Darn Hot’s 2024 Southern Hemisphere foals are exceptionally limited in number and when combined with pedigrees of this quality, the appeal is clear,” Tattersalls Online Sales Manager Katherine Sheridan said.
“We are delighted to once again collaborate with Inglis Digital and to present a session that we expect will attract strong international interest.”
Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said the collaboration with Tattersalls was growing in momentum.
“Katherine raised the possibility of this opportunity last month and we were very keen for Inglis Digital to be involved as we feel we can add significant value to the process,” he said.
“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, particularly when analysis of who holds the balance of the crop 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.”
“Very simply, as an owner or a trader, if you want part of the action with the fifth southern hemisphere crop of Too Darn Hot, you have to look very carefully that these offerings.”
The sale will be held on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th February.
