PRE-SALE INSPECTION MAP

The catalogue for the 2021 Premier Yearling Sale – the sale that produced spring stars such as Ole Kirk, Gytrash, September Run, North Pacific, Hey Doc and Sneaky Five – is now available.

A total of 804 lots – 590 for the Premier Session and 214 for the Showcase Session - have been catalogued for sale at the world-class Oaklands auditorium in Melbourne for the three days of Sunday February 28, Monday March 1 and Tuesday March 2.

The catalogue is “by all significant measures, the strongest Premier catalogue we have ever produced,’’ according to Inglis’ Victorian Bloodstock Manager Simon Vivian.

In total 75 individual vendors are set to offer the progeny of 118 stallions including the likes of I Am Invincible, Snitzel, Redoute’s Choice, Fastnet Rock, Exceed And Excel, Written Tycoon, Not A Single Doubt, Pierro, Zoustar, Dundeel, Savabeel, So You Think, Sebring, Lonhro, Deep Field, Street Boss, Brazen Beau, Shamus Award and Tavistock as well as international superstars including Frankel, Camelot, Lord Kanaloa, Into Mischief and Siyouni.

First season sires represented include Merchant Navy, Russian Revolution, Highland Reel, Pariah, Hellbent, Churchill, Caravaggio, Almanzor, Impending, Tosen Stardom, Menari, Invader and Ribchester among others.

The support of the Victorian breeders has been exceptional with leading vendors Maluka Thoroughbreds (35 entries), Blue Gum Farm (31), Rosemont Stud (30), Stonehouse Thoroughbreds (27), Supreme Thoroughbreds (26) and Yulong (26) all Victorian-based, while the likes of Gilgai Farm, Noorilim Park, Sun Stud, Three Bridges, Woodside Park Stud, Two Bays Farm, Springmount, Glentree Thoroughbreds, Kulani Park, Ultra Thoroughbreds, Leneva Park, Musk Creek Farm, Collingrove Stud, Morning Rise Stud, Rushton Park, Daisy Hill, Longwood Thoroughbred Farm, Erinvale Thoroughbreds and Yarran Thoroughbreds are among the other leading Victorian nurseries well represented.

The catalogue is further complemented by a strong interstate contingent which includes drafts from Widden Stud, Yarraman Park, Sledmere Stud, Newhaven Park, Mill Park Stud, Vinery Stud, Bhima Twin Hills, Milburn Creek, Silverdale Farm, Lime Country Thoroughbreds, Edinburgh Park etc.

Of the catalogue, 466 are Super VOBIS nominated and 474 are BOBS eligible, while the catalogue also contains yearlings eligible for QTIS, SABOIS, Westspeed and TasBred.

Vivian described the Premier catalogue as “simply outstanding’’.

“The support we have received from the Victorian industry especially who have 100% backed this sale again by giving their best yearlings to offer is not only quite overwhelming but also comes with a serious sense of responsibility to get the job done for them and we absolutely believe we will achieve great results again,’’ Vivian said.

“Buyers want to buy from auctions with proven results and Premier’s recent record of graduates is simply quite extraordinary.

“There have been 15 G1-winning graduates of the Premier Sale since 2018 – nine of which could have been purchased for $100,000 or less - including the likes of Nature Strip, Santa Ana Lane, Beat The Clock, Kenedna, Written By, Seabrook etc and since 2019 Premier has produced more winners of the $1m-plus races in Australia than any other sale.

“The 2021 catalogue is again filled with the right yearlings prepared by the right people and we can’t wait to offer them at our exceptional and highly popular Oaklands facility in February and March next year.’’

All yearlings offered at an Inglis Yearling Sale are eligible for entry into the lucrative $6m Inglis Race Series which includes the $2m Inglis Millennium for 2YOs as well as a host of other valuable races.
