Melbourne Introduces Supplementary Catalogue for Autumn Yearling Sale

8th Mar 2011

Vendors have until next Thursday to lodge late entries for this year’s Inglis Melbourne Autumn Yearling Sale, which is offering a supplementary catalogue for the very first time.

“Following interest from a number of breeders, we saw merit in opening the Autumn Yearling Sale to include a supplementary catalogue,” Inglis Director Peter Heagney said.

“Our duty is to provide a platform for breeders to sell their yearlings and as this will be the last dedicated yearling sale in Victoria for the season, we thought it appropriate to give breeders the opportunity to sell yearlings which may have incurred a minor setback when preparing for the Premier Sale or yearlings which at closing time of entries were not going to be sold but vendors now wish to sell.”

The ONLINE CATALOGUE can be viewed here. The sale will be held at Oaklands on April 17 and 18.

The 2010 Autumn Yearling Sale produced significant gains across all major indicators, highlighted by a 23% rise in the average and 18% in gross takings.

The Supplementary is open to all yearlings - including new entries, not just passed in or withdrawn entries from Premier.

Supplementary yearlings will be sold at the conclusion of the second day’s selling on April 18.

Entries close on Friday 18 March and nomination forms can be DOWNLOADED HERE.

A professionally prepared Supplementary Catalogue will be produced and mailed to a select mailing list, in addition to being distributed at racetracks. They of course will also be available at the sale and on inspection days.

Any breeders who wish to discuss the sale should contact one of the Melbourne office representatives. The Melbourne Bloodstock team can be contacted on (03) 9333 1422, or alternatively Peter Heagney on 0412 330 393 or Simon Vivian on 0417 006 546.
