Refurbished Oaklands ready to host Premier Yearling Sale

A new-look Oaklands Junction is ready to host its first Premier Yearling Sale, for which inspections begin on Monday.

The $8m renovation of the selling auditorium and adjacent structures (reception, restaurant and café) is complete following months of alterations.

The ongoing success of the Premier Yearling Sale was again to the fore in 2018, with four individual Australian Group 1 winners coming out of the sale – Santa Ana Lane, Written By, Seabrook and Youngstar.

Only the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale produced more individual Group 1 winners in Australia last year.

A total of 786 horses - 514 in Book 1 and 272 in Book 2 – have been catalogued for the sale.
