With more than 90 vendors consigning horses to the 2011 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale starting in Sydney next Sunday at Newmarket it’s easy for a brand new vendor to get lost in the crowd, but that won’t be happening to Mary Bray of Cinque Cavalli.

The loss of accomplished shuttle sire Anabaa (USA) was highlighted at Caulfield on Saturday with a running stakes double for slick sprinter Avenue and Caulfield Guineas contender Anacheeva.

Just as the Sydney racing industry started it’s journey down the road to recovery last Saturday, another critical step forward was taken today when William Inglis and Son conducted the first thoroughbred sale in NSW since the EI crisis commenced more than three months ago.
