Inglis Director of bloodstock, Jonathan D’Arcy commented, “the strength of the market was highlighted by the fact that the sale was up $628,300 or 65% on last years Winter Sale with the same number of horses offered. Every category of bloodstock had strong competition with many interstate buyers present or bidding over the phone”.
