Sacred Kingdom and Pompeii Ruler, who mixed it with the best when fourth in the G1 S$3M Singapore Airlines International Cup, were both bred in Victoria and offered for sale as yearlings through the Inglis Oaklands complex.

The next four days is another showcase of the Victorian industry with today and tomorrow's weanling sessions to be followed by two days of bloodstock on Wednesday and Thursday.
