The catalogue for this year’s Inglis Ready2Race Sale has been released.
Youngsters by some of the most exciting young stallions in Australia feature in what Inglis is promoting as 'far and away the strongest two-year-old catalogue Australia has ever seen' – this year's Inglis Ready2Race Sale.
The catalogue for the sale that will see breeze-up sessions conducted in September and October before an October 11 auction can now be accessed online.
The Autumn Sun, Trapeze Artist, Justify and Written By, whose first crop turned two this season, are among 19 first-season stallions with runners in the book.
In all, 289 lots have been catalogued, including juveniles by Zoustar, Exceed And Excel, So You Think, Fastnet Rock and last season's leading first-season sire Russian Revolution.
Forty-five vendors will present horses for sale, including renowned ready-to-race operators such as Blake Ryan, Dean Harvey, Jamie Beatson, Jean Dubois, Matt Vella, Hinnerk Hueppe, Sam Beatson, Shane Crawford, Tal Nolen, Shaun Nolen, Matthew and Alison Park, Will Forrester, John Malcolm, Mark Forbes, Kelly Van Dyk and Peter Moffatt.
Nettoyer, Forgot You, Lightsaber, Prix De Turn, Douceur, Malkovich and Hong Kong sprinting talent Wishful Thinker are among graduates from the sale that has produced more than 450 winners since 2016.
"This sale has been hugely progressive in recent years and the confidence in the sale from the Southern Hemisphere's leading vendors has resulted in a catalogue of unprecedented strength this year,'' Inglis Bloodstock chief executive Sebastian Hutch said.
"It is a sale format in which we have invested a huge amount of time and effort in recent years in particular, which creates the opportunity for buyers to purchase ready-made racing stock that has been developed and prepared by some of Australasia's very best horse people.
"I know a number of the vendors are particularly bullish about the quality of horses that they are preparing this year and we are really excited to engage domestic and international buyers in the sale over the next six-to-eight weeks before welcoming them to Riverside for the sale in October."
Breeze-up sessions will be held at Seymour (September 9), Eagle Farm (September 14), Warwick Farm (September 16), Cambridge (September 19) and Warwick Farm (October 6) before the October 11 auction.
