The forthcoming June National Sale has attracted record entries - forcing the sale to eight days.

At last count there were 68 stakes winners and 60 stakes placegetters among the mares entered including eight Group One winners - including present day star Regimental Gal - and the recently retired Inaflury and La Bella Dama. The other Group One winners are Electrique, Episode, In Joyment, Not Related and Pace Invader.

Episode and In Joyment were both served last spring by Redoute's Choice (17 mares in the catalogue have been served by the sire and with a 2005 service fee at $220,000 there will no doubt be a few investors looking for a fast return on last year's $44,000).

Other Group winners catalogued (with serving sire in brackets if applicable) include Conquistar (Elusive Quality), Demographic (Choisir), Hec of a Party, Joy of Flight, La Rieuse (Dehere), Legible (Exceed and Excel), Lolita Star (Falbrav), Patterns, Raspberry Ripple (Fusaichi Pegasus), Rock Review (Redoute's Choice), Speedy Kids (Elusive Quality) and Staging (Red Ransom).

There are also the accomplished stakes winners Bridie Jo (Redoute's Choice), Class Eulogy (Giant's Causeway), Forum Floozie, Golden Pedigree, Jade Diva, Millie (Giant's Causeway), Ossie Cossie (Johannesburg) and Verdict Declared (Redoute's Choice).

Catalogues will be released in May.
