INGLIS - 2026
FARNAN x LIBERATA
Chestnut Filly
We’re delighted to present our latest purchase from the 2026 Inglis Yearling Sale — a beautiful chestnut filly by leading second season sire Farnan, secured with both racing success and long-term residual value firmly in mind.
​
Farnan continues to build strong momentum as a stallion, with his early runners performing at a high level. As his second season progeny begin to hit the racetrack, all indications are that his profile will continue to strengthen, making this a timely opportunity to be involved.
​
This filly was purchased with that context in mind and placed with Hall of Fame trainer Tony Gollan, ensuring she will be given every chance to perform on the track while retaining genuine residual upside as a filly.
Excellent residual upside
PEDIGREE & BREEDING
This filly is from the draft of Sledmere Stud, one of the Hunter Valley’s leading nurseries, known for producing athletic, correct horses that train on.
Sire: Farnan -
Farnan has made a strong early impression as a stallion, with his first runners performing to expectation and his reputation continuing to build as his second crop approaches the track.
​
A Golden Slipper winner himself, Farnan is currently sitting second on the Second Season Sires list, and all indicators suggest his stock will remain in demand as results continue to follow.
​​​
Foaled at Sledmere Stud, a long-established thoroughbred nursery based in the Upper Hunter Valley at Scone with a history spanning many decades. In recent seasons, their graduates have continued to perform on the track, with notable examples including stakes winner Arkansaw Kid, who has earned in excess of $1.5 million, and Veight, a multiple Group 1–placed galloper with more than $2 million in prizemoney.
• First dam is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Jessy Belle (career earnings $784,235)
• Third dam is Champion Mare and multiple Group 1 winner, Flitter
• The family has already produced black type through Shalwa
• Strong female line with proven performance at the highest level​
Tony Gollan to Train
The filly will be trained by Hall of Fame trainer Tony Gollan.
​
Tony’s record speaks for itself — year after year he delivers results at the highest level of racing, with an exceptional strike rate and a reputation for placing horses to advantage. Owners value the professionalism of his operation, the consistency of his horses, and the enjoyment that comes with being part of a stable that is always competitive and often winning.
​
With a 12 time Queensland trainers premiership, and Hall of Fame trainer guiding her - this filly will be given every opportunity under his care.
A Striking Athlete
On inspection, Tony noted the filly presented as a well-made individual with good overall size, strength and scope.
She shows a strong girth, a well-developed hip and hindquarter, and moves with very good action, using herself cleanly with good reach in front.
Her temperament stood out as a positive — a sweet, relaxed filly to handle — which should serve her well as she progresses into work.
