The Inglis Ready2Race Sale has for many years been not only the most progressive but statistically the best Australian 2YO sale for buyers to be active in.

Its average earnings per runner is 27% higher than its nearest competitor, it has provided 28% more individual winners in Hong Kong than its nearest rival and has enjoyed the biggest spread of Stakes winners with black type graduates in NSW, Vic, SA, WA, HK, Singapore and Malaysia.

Again there are any number of reasons as to why a prospective buyer should participate in this year’s renewal of the sale.

Over the past five seasons, the Inglis Ready2Race Sale has been a compelling source of high-class racehorses including the likes of Democracy Manifest, Strait Acer, Libertad, Nettoyer, Allibor, Forgot You, Lightsaber, Prix De Turn, Gunstock, Trumbull, Malkovich, Douceur, Verdad, Steely etc.

“This year’s catalogue is the strongest collection of 2YOs that we have ever put together for this sale and they are being prepared by some of the most renowned horse people in Australia and New Zealand. Buyers really will be spoilt for choice,’’ Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said.

“We have been planning the make-up of this catalogue for the best part of the past 12 months, working with our vendors to identify suitable horses for this sale format and we’re extremely excited by the diversity and quality on offer.

“The timing of the sale is perfect, just four days before The Everest so it’s a great week to be in Sydney for Australia’s best 2YO Sale followed by Australia’s most exciting race day at Randwick.’’

This year’s Inglis Ready2Race Sale will be preceded by three breeze-up sessions in NSW (Hawkesbury, Monday Sept 30), New Zealand (Taupo, Monday Sept 30) and Victoria (Wangaratta, Tuesday Oct 1).
