The catalogue for the four-day 2016 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale is now available online. Slated for Feb. 28 through Mar. 2, 755 lots will be offered at the Inglis Oaklands Sales Complex. The 48-strong Blue Riband session will be held at the end of the first day of selling, with the focus on pedigree and confirmation that excels from the age of three upwards and over longer distances.
“The Premier Yearling Sale has experienced increases year on year due to outstanding vendor support form across Australasia and growth in the quality of bloodstock offered at the sale,” said Inglis Victorian Manager Simon Vivian. “With the Inglis team having successfully canvassed buyers from local, national and international markets we look forward to an outstanding buying bench at Premier.”
The catalogue contains 100 half or full-siblings to stakes winners, as well as progeny from 98 stakes-winning dams offered by 80 vendors. Proven stallions with five or more lots offered include Redoute's Choice (Aus), Fastnet Rock (Aus), Snitzel (Aus), Smart Missile (Aus), High Chaparral (Ire), Sebring (Aus), I Am Invincible (Aus), Not a Single Doubt (Aus), Medaglia d'Oro, Choisir (Aus), Bel Esprit (Aus), Hinchinbrook (Aus), Star Witness (Aus), Starspangledbanner (Aus), Bernardini, Commands (Aus), Reward for Effort (Aus), and Canford Cliffs (Ire). All yearlings offered at an Inglis Select Yearling Sale will be eligible for entry into the A$5 million Inglis Race Series.
“This season alone, 16 Premier graduates have won 19 stakes races, including three Group 1 races,” continued Vivian. “With results like these it is obvious why the popularity of the Premier Sale continues to grow. We are confident the graduates of the 2016 sale will perpetuate this success.”
