The 2023 series will again consist of five primary yearling sales – Classic, Premier, Easter, HTBA and Gold.

*Inglis sold 20 $1m+ lots – MORE than the nearest Australian competitor
*Inglis sold 1032 $100,000+ lots – MORE than the nearest Australian competitor
*The growth of Inglis auctions was remarkable with the increased gross at Classic (+25.3%), Premier (+18.7%) and Easter (+13.7%) all resulting in record-breaking sales.
*The number of buyers at each sale also continued to grow, with a minimum of 55 buyers per 100 horses sold across each of the sales comprising the Inglis Yearling Sales Series.
Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said the hard work to ensure the 2023 series was even more successful than this year had already begun.
“In advance of the 2022 yearling sales, we asked vendors for their support on the premise that Inglis would deliver the best results, and thanks to the tremendous support that we received, we did,” Hutch said.
“There is a determination among our entire team at Inglis to offer our clients the highest possible standards of service from the inspection period, right the way through to the fall of the hammer and we are working to continue to develop this further for the coming season.
“I can assure breeders and vendors that we will continue to work relentlessly to ensure the strongest possible representation of buyers at each of our sales so as to continue to ensure market-leading results.
“We pride ourselves on getting the biggest and best buying bench to each of our sales and that was evident this year, with extraordinary buyer statistics across each of the Classic, Premier, Easter, Gold and HTBA Yearling Sales.
“We work all year round on developing buyers domestically and internationally.
“A number of our team already have made trips internationally to canvass buyers for the 2023 series and with an extensive schedule of international trips scheduled for the balance of the year, as well as our comprehensive work domestically, no stone will be left unturned in our efforts to deliver the best results for vendors.
“Our bloodstock team will inspect more than 4000 horses over the next couple of months all around Australia and New Zealand where we will work with the vendors to identify the best sale to target for their yearlings to achieve the best results for them and their clients.
“We are continually grateful for the ongoing support we receive from breeders and vendors and we can’t wait to deal with them again as we strive to achieve more fantastic results in 2023.’’
