Inglis's first yearling sale of the year, the three-day Classic sale, kicks off Saturday at the company's Newmarket complex in Sydney. A total of 575 lots are catalogued over the three days.
“After being inundated with over 1,400 entries, every entry was analysed using the the Inglis Bloodstock team's rigorous selection process, and we are confident we have the type for every buyer among the 575 final selections,” said Inglis National Bloodstock Director Jonathan D'Arcy. “Buyers will find an exceptional variety on offer at Classic this year, from precocious 2-year-olds and sprinting greats to Derby types and Classic performers, all by a great selection of sires.”
Leading sire Snitzel (Aus), who was responsible for three of the six millionaires at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in January, has eight catalogued for this sale, including lot 17, a colt from Arrowfield Stud who is a half-brother to stakes winner Lady Jivago (Aus) (Beneteau {Aus}) and from the family of another of Arrowfield's accomplished sires in Not A Single Doubt (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}).
Champion first-season sire I Am Invincible (Aus) is represented by 30 yearlings including lot 501, a colt bred by Bernie Howlett, who also bred I Am Invincible's Group 1-winning son Brazen Beau (Aus).
