Inglis’ General Manager of Bloodstock Sales and Marketing Sebastian Hutch said the Easter catalogue had something for everyone and that recent results further proved its standing as the No.1 sale in the southern hemisphere.
“It is a phenomenal group of yearlings in every respect and we are very grateful for the opportunity to offer them to the market,’’ Hutch said.
“The quality is extraordinarily high and it is a great compliment to the standing of the sale that breeders and vendors are yet again sending their best yearlings in great quantity.
“The stats are there for all to see and it is a simple fact that buyers are more likely to source a top-class horse at Easter than at any other sale in the Southern Hemisphere.
“Since 2018 alone Inglis Easter has produced more Group 1 winners than any other Australasian sale including the likes of The Autumn Sun, Merchant Navy, Estijaab, Trapeze Artist, Exceedance, Loving Gaby, Super Seth, Russian Revolution, the list goes on and on.
“That list covers a wide range of price brackets too including with each of Funstar, Aristia and Land Of Plenty all selling at Easter for no more than $80,000 apiece.
“Interest in the sale from domestic and international buyers is already incredibly strong, but we expect it to heighten even further as soon as people get a chance to read the full catalogue.”
Selling will begin at 10am both mornings.
Hard copies of the Easter catalogue will be available within a fortnight.
