Australia’s Strongest Ever 2YO Catalogue Released

The strongest catalogue of two-year-olds ever assembled in Australia is now online with 255 select juveniles to be showcased at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in Sydney on Tuesday 4 October 2016.

Vendors from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand have unequivocally increased their support of the sale, with the depth of sires and quality athletes undoubtedly delivering the best book of two-year-olds offered for auction in Australia.

“The commitment of vendors to building a quality focused breeze up sale in Australia is clearly evident in the 2016 Inglis Ready2Race Sale and we are delighted to offer a modern platform on which the abilities of these young racehorses can be displayed,” said Jonathan D’Arcy, Inglis’ National Bloodstock Director.

The two-year-olds will be filmed galloping on the respective grass course proper at Cranbourne and Canterbury, with the last 200 metres of their gallops electronically timed. All potential buyers are welcome at both the breeze up days, while approximately 45 seconds of footage of each horse will be made available for viewing online and via DVDs and USBs a few days later.
