The catalogue for the 2011 Scone Select Yearling Sale to be held on May 12 and 15, is now online.
Scone continues to produce top quality racehorses, year in year out.
Hot Danish has been a wonderful flagbearer, but the likes of Group 1 winners Happy Gladiator & Small Minds, hardy sprinter Welkom Gold and last year's dominant Inglis Guineas winner Star Of Octagonal also highlight what astute buyers can unearth at Scone.
This year's Scone sale comprises 392 lots to be sold over the two days. Session 1 (Lots 1-208) is held on Thursday May 12, prior to the big two-day Scone Cup and Inglis Guineas carnival, followed by Session 2 (Lots 209-392) on Sunday May 15.
"Once again the sale has received excellent support from vendors and we are thrilled to offer a quality catalogue over the two days," Inglis Bloodstock Director Jonathan D'Arcy said.
Stallions represented include proven sires (with 3 or more entries): Dane Shadow (10), Charge Forward (7), Al Maher (6), Danzero (6), Magic Albert (6), Hussonet (5), Not A Single Doubt (5), Snitzel (5), Choisir (4), General Nediym (3), Mossman (3) and Stratum (3).
The catalogue also boasts sizeable drafts from young sires , headed by Snippetson - sire of this month's Group 2 Tulloch Stakes winner Fast Clip - with 23. Valixir (15), Wonderful World (13), Oratorio (IRE)(12), Benicio (9), Dubleo (9), Lion Heart (9) and Shaft (9) also have good drafts heading to Scone.
Buyers should note that 87% of the yearlings on offer are BOBS eligible.
