Outstanding Clearance At The Inglis Breeding Stock Sale

26th Jun 2009

The Twin Palms draft, comprising the Johnson Family Dispersal, again provided the session topper at the Australian Weanling & Breeding Stock Sale, with a Redoute’s Choice weanling colt from the Spectrum mare Dancing selling to KP Thoroughbreds for $300,000.

In total $3.86million was traded with an outstanding clearance rate of (84%). The select weanling session averaged $21,426 and included five weanlings that fetched $100,000 or more.

Strada and Nadeem both featured in the New Sire Showcase and the pair had progeny in demand today, with weanlings selling for $135,000 and $125,000 respectively.

Every state in Australia was represented by buyers, in addition to clients from the United States, Singapore, Japan, South Africa, the Philippines and New Zealand, who were particularly strong over both days.

“I’d like to thank the Johnson family and Twin Palms for entrusting us with their dispersal,” Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster said.

“This is only the second year of this sale but it has very quickly established its place on the sales calendar and its timing has proven ideal for quality dispersals”

“Yesterday’s session finished with a clearance rate of 80% and that solid start was built on today.

“We had a lot of inquiry from pinhookers for this sale and we look forward to reoffering their purchases at next year’s yearling sales.

Entry forms and brochures are now avaliable for the 2010 Inglis Yearling Sales.

The next Inglis Sale will be held at Newmarket next Friday July 3, with the Sydney Winter Thoroughbred Sale, comprising a catalogue of close to 200 which includes over 40 supplementaries.

Horses passed in during the past two days are still available for sale via the Inglis Make an Offer service.
