Vendors who targeted this year’s Classic Sale with ‘standout’ yearlings were strongly rewarded on Day 1 as Inglis’ first live sale of the season started on a high.

The most extraordinary digital sale the world has ever seen concluded this evening as the Inglis Digital April (Late) online auction grossed a mammoth $10,721,799.

The likes of Merchant Navy, Beat The Clock, Southern Legend, Atyaab, Crown Prosecutor, Age Of Fire and others have contributed to Inglis graduates enjoying outstanding international success in recent years and a pair of high-class winners on Friday in New Zealand and Hong Kong respectively, look to have the potential to earn their stripes as G1 winners in due course.

The first Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale at Riverside Stables has begun in outstanding fashion, with a top price of $255,000 and clearance rate of 92% on Day 1.
