Five Inglis Graduates were named champions of the 2016-2017 Australian racing season at last night’s Australian Racehorse of the Year awards in Brisbane.
Yankee Rose became the first filly to win the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes and led in an Inglis graduates trifecta in doing so in today’s Randwick feature.
The largest selection of weanlings at any Southern Hemisphere sale in 2016 leads the Inglis Great Southern Sale catalogue, to be held on 19, 20, 21 and 22 June at Oaklands in Melbourne.
ONE of the best younger sires in Australia at this time is Nicconi, a handsome former leading sprinter by the Danzig sire Bianconi (USA) who stands at the Widden Stud.
89% clearance and a 48% jump in gross was achieved by Book Two of the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on another glorious Autumn day at Newmarket. Trainers and syndicators from across the Eastern Seaboard competed for more than 80 yearlings, with the top price of $42,000 being reached by Lot 65, a son of Australian Derby winner Roman Emperor out of Group 1-placed Miss Meliss. The colt was offered by Princes Farm, the sale’s leading vendor by average and one of 16 vendors to achieve 100% clearance through the ring.
