Graduates of the Classic Sale continue to shine on the track.

Of all Australasian yearling sales, only the Easter Yearling Sale produced more Australian Group 1 winners in 2018.

The 2019 Classic Yearling Sale will take place at Riverside Stables from February 9-14, beginning next Saturday night at 6pm following the inaugural Inglis Millennium Race Day at Warwick Farm.

A total of 1013 horses – 808 in Book 1 and 205 in the Highway Session (Book 2) – are catalogued for the five days of selling of February 9,10,11,12 and 14.

Wednesday February 13 will be a Highway Race Day at Warwick Farm featuring two Highway Handicaps – one for Country-trained horses and one for Provincial-trained horses.

If the winner of either race is an eligible Inglis graduate (paid up for the current or a former Inglis Race Series), the winning trainer will receive a $50,000 credit voucher to spend at the Highway Session the following day.

And for the first time, yearlings purchased in the Highway Session will also be eligible for the $100,000 Inglis Challenge 2YO race in Scone in 2020.
