Great Southern Sale Starts Monday

13th May 2010

The five day Melbourne Great Southern Sale starts next Monday May 17, with the first of two weanling sessions.

“Vendors have provided a wonderful response to this year’s sale and thanks to their support, we have assembled an excellent catalogue,” Inglis Director Peter Heagney said.

“The Great Southern Sale is quickly earning a reputation for delivering on the racetrack, with Group 1 AJC Sires Produce Stakes winner Yosei a shining example this season.”

There were 393 weanlings in the original catalogue, with the supplementaries taking the figure past the 400 mark.

They will be sold on Monday and Tuesday next week.

A feature of this year’s weanling season is the exciting array of first crop stallions.

Victorian studs feature prominently in the first crop section, with Australian Group 1 winners Magnus, Shinzig and Testafiable all standing, while Rosehill Guineas winner De Beers stands at Lindsay Park.

A number of international Group 1 winners have also called Victoria home for their southern hemisphere stints and the likes of Any Given Saturday, Hard Spun, Hat Trick, Host and Soldiers Tale have their first Australian progeny at next week’s sale.

The sale then continues on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week with the Great Southern Bloodstock Sale with broodmares, stallions, racehorses, yearlings and unbroken stock.
