415 weanlings catalogued for biggest renewal of the sale.
A total of 415 weanlings have been catalogued for this year's Inglis Australian Weanling Sale, the biggest catalogue assembled for the sale, which will now be held over the two days of Wednesday May 4 and Thursday May 5.
Last year's sale had 268 weanlings catalogued and was held over a single day.
"Our Australian Weanling Sale has been an excellent sale for the last number of years, so it is great to see it recognised with an increase in quality and quantity from a strong and diverse group of vendors,'' Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said.
"There are some fantastic weanlings in the sale and I think it is a sale that traders and end users have every reason to be excited about.
"The Pierro – La Diosa filly being consigned by Coolmore, for example, is a star and as well-credentialled a weanling as will be offered to the market this year.
"Out of last year's renewal alone there have been some outstanding pinhook results at all levels of the market - $65,000 into $270,000, $180,000 into $375,000, $30,000 into $210,000, $42,000 into $158,000, $55,000 into $210,000, $28,000 into $100,000 etc are just some of many examples.
"And with the likes of Redzel, Begood Toya Mother, Spright, Leicester, Houtzen, Reelem in Ruby and many more amongst its recent graduates, buyers focusing on this sale for not only pinhook profitability but racetrack success also is vital.''
