2017 Melbourne Vobis Gold Yearling Sale catalogue

Progeny of leading stallions I Am Invincible, High Chaparral and Written Tycoon headline a strong catalogue for the 2017 VOBIS Gold Yearling Sale.

A total of 233 Lots have been catalogued for the sale, which will take place at Oaklands Junction on Sunday April 23.

Every yearling in the sale is Super VOBIS nominated, making them eligible for millions of dollars of bonuses through the VOBIS system during their 2YO and 3YO racing seasons.

Further to this, all the yearlings at the sale are eligible to be nominated for the VOBIS Gold incentive scheme.

Underlining the strength and confidence in the Victorian breeding and racing industry the VOBIS Gold Yearling Sale has recorded increases across the board for four straight years.

Bidding was fast and persistent at the 2016 sale with 21 lots sold for $40,000 or more, which is more than double the amount from 2015.

And with recent graduates such as Malaguerra, Burning Front, Lucky Liberty and Sirbible, there's no doubting the quality of the horses on offer.

Polanski was a graduate of the sale in 2012 for $4000 before progressing to win the Group 1 Victoria Derby, and this year is a First Season Sire.

He will be joined by the likes of fellow freshmen Fiorente, Fighting sun, Unencumbered, Zoustar, Sizzling, Eurozone, Declaration Of War, Kuroshio and Dawn Approach.

Hard copy catalogues will be available next week and can be requested from the Melbourne office on +61 3 9333 1422 or email catalogue@inglis.com.au.
