24th Mar 2016

880 lots have been catalogued for the Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale, which will again run over four days, on 1, 2, 3 and 4 May. The Newmarket sale ring in Sydney will light up with weanlings and broodmares from some of Australia’s best families.

Kicking off selling on the first day will be the Platinum Weanling Session, where all 123 weanlings entered have X-Rays available for viewing, to minimise risk and maximise returns to buyers.

Weanlings to be offered include those from the families of Group 1 winners Flamberge Samaready, Holler, Nicconi, Hot Danish, Onemorenomore, Sacred Star, Assertive Lad, Bulla Borghese, Snitzel and Hurtle Myrtle, along with blue hen Staging and hot young sire I Am Invincible.

Inglis Weanling Sales continue to deliver results in the yearling sales for pinhookers and on the racetrack for their connections. Weanlings bought in Sydney last year have sold in 2016 up to $300,000, $280,000 and $260,000 at Inglis Premier in Melbourne, and $340,000, $260,000 and $240,000 at the Gold Coast, while 11 Sydney pinhooks are set to be offered at the upcoming Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
