The Inglis Chairman’s Sale on Thursday was dominated by off the track race fillies and mares, but the highest priced producing broodmare was Tyreel Stud’s Pinocchio, who was offered in foal to champion sire I Am Invincible.
The dam of Everest winner Classique Legend and Group II winner Aethero, Pinocchio was sold for $1.15million to Bill Pearce’s Bromfield Park/ Group I Bloodstock.

A grey daughter of Encosta de Lago, Pinocchio is a sister to champion miler Racing to Win and has been a successful stakes producer as well as a big winner in commercial terms for Tyreel Stud. They sold a So You Think colt from her at Inglis Easter in 2020 for $1.1million and an I Am Invincible filly in 2022 for $2million.
Pinocchio produced a filly by I Am Invincible last spring for Tyreel and she will be retained.
