Domestic
buyers dominated at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale with a particular
resurgence noted from the strong West Australian contingent in attendance.
Leading buyer at the sale was Aquanita Racing, who purchase horses for
accomplished Victorian trainers Robert Smerdon, Tony Vasil and WA based Simon Miller.
They signed for 11 youngsters totalling $515,000, their most expensive
acquisition a Snitzel colt (pictured) from Banishing that made $100,000.
Sydney based syndicators Darby Bloodstock and Star Thoroughbreds were next on the
list, while pinhooking outfit BC3 Thoroughbreds was also active.
WA based buyers purchased 25 yearlings for $1,028,500, that figure up sharply
on last year when they bought just 12 for $371,500, so vendors were glad to see
those 'sandgropers'!
