The success enjoyed by graduates of the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in recent years has been particularly noteworthy, with graduates including the likes of dual G1 winner Nettoyer, G2 winners Forgot You (G1 placed), Lightsaber (G1 placed), Prix de Turn, Hong Kong sprinting talent Wishful Thinker and Allibor, G3 winners Gunstock, Trumbull and another Hong Kong speedster in Super Wealthy, as well as domestic talents like G1 VRC Oaks runner-up Douceur, Malkovich, See You In Spring, Stageman, Saturday's G3 Vain Stakes runner up Alpha One and international stars Golden Monkey, Relentless and Starlight.

In total, the Inglis Ready2Race Sale has produced over 450 individual winning graduates since 2016.

The average earnings of recent Inglis Ready2Race graduates of $84,776 is 26% more than graduates of the other Australian 2YO sale, with Stakes-winning graduates across a huge number of states and countries including NSW, Victoria, SA, WA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, Malaysia etc.

This year there will be breeze ups at Seymour (September 9), Eagle Farm (September 14), Warwick Farm (September 16), Cambridge (September 19) and an alternate session to be held at Warwick Farm (October 6), with all vision of the gallops to be uploaded to the Inglis website and iPad app within 48 hours of each breeze session.

“This sale has been hugely progressive in recent years and the confidence in the sale from the Southern Hemisphere’s leading vendors has resulted in a catalogue of unprecedented strength this year,’’ Inglis Bloodstock chief executive Sebastian Hutch said.

“It is a sale format in which we have invested a huge amount of time and effort in recent years in particular, which creates the opportunity for buyers to purchase ready-made racing stock that has been developed and prepared by some of Australasia’s very best horse people.

“The past three Inglis Ready2Race sales have produced a host of talented racehorses – to date, they are the only Australian 2YO sales at which buyers could have bought a Stakes winner – and they are also outperforming the equivalent New Zealand sale considering the relative number of horses offered.

“I know a number of the vendors are particularly bullish about the quality of horses that they are preparing this year and we are really excited to engage domestic and international buyers in the sale over the next six-to-eight weeks before welcoming them to Riverside for the sale in October.”

All horses in the catalogue are eligible for the $7.55m Inglis Race Series, including the $2m Inglis Millennium and the new $1m Pink Bonus Scheme.
