Thoroughbred enthusiasts the world over will have the opportunity to experience the benchmark yearling sale event in Australia, as this year both Sky Racing and Channel 7 are offering extensive coverage of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Along with live daily coverage of the sale, previews and wraps that will be available on InglisTV, Sky Racing’s new thoroughbred only channel (Sky Thoroughbred Central – Channel 521 on Foxtel) will telecast all three days of the sale from Tuesday to Thursday with the coverage being simulcast on 7TWO on Seven’s digital television platform from noon on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The coverage, which will be co-hosted by Andrew Bensley and Caroline Searcy with international guest host Gina Harding and roving reporter Jemma Cutting, will be telecast to 53 countries.

In addition, Andrew Bensley’s Sky Sports Radio show Racing HQ, will broadcast live at 9am from Newmarket each day of the sale.

“The increasing national and international interest that the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale has generated in recent years is a testament to the strength of the Australian thoroughbred breeding industry,” said Inglis’ Managing Director Mark Webster.

“As the interest in our wonderful sport grows domestically with increases in prize money and international investment, we are delighted that a broader audience will have access to all the action of Australasia’s most prestigious yearling sale,” Webster said.
