The 2017 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale has been declared “a resounding success’’ as records tumbled and overall figures increased across the board.

The most expensive yearling ever sold in Victoria, the most expensive yearling sold in the world this year and the most expensive yearling ever by star stallion I Am Invincible.

In a brilliant day of racing across the country, Inglis graduates were responsible for charging to victory in stakes races at every level, winning a Group 1, a Group 3 and a Listed race at Flemington, and a Group 2 race at Rosehill, with several providing valuable updates to their siblings' pedigrees ahead of the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Thunderstorms earlier in the day could not dampen the hopes for Jameka in the VRC Oaks (2500m) at Flemington and the favourite duly saluted, becoming the eighth Inglis graduate to win the Group 1 fillies Classic in the last 12 years.

With a legacy like that of the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale, it is no wonder that with only ten days to go that the industry is positively buzzing. The 2015 edition of the sale that unearthed superheroes of the turf including Black Caviar, Fawkner, Snitzerland, Trust In A Gust, Sacred Kingdom and Blue Diamond favourite Foniton, will begin 12 noon on Sunday 1 March.

In the last 72 hours Inglis graduates Mamwaazel, The Quarterback and The Conglomerate all recorded their maiden stakes victories providing timely pedigree updates to their respective siblings that will be offered during the 2015 Inglis Select Yearling Sales Series.

Big plans are afoot for promising three-year-old The Quarterback following his impressive victory in the valuable Inglis Trophy at Sale in Victoria on Sunday.

A diverse buying bench purchased 81 lots for $5,890,500 during the new Sunday afternoon session on day one of the 2013 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale at Oaklands today.
