Four-day Premier Yearling Sale gets underway on Sunday

Inglis is busy preparing for its four-day Premier Yearling Sale in Melbourne, which begins on Sunday.

A total of 771 horses have been catalogued for the Premier Sale, among them 103 relations to stakes winners and 104 progeny of stakes-winning mares.

The opening day will again feature the popular Blue Riband session, where yearlings considered to have the pedigree and conformation to excel in their Classic year and beyond have been specifically selected.

Simon Vivian, bloodstock manager for Inglis in Victoria, said: “The strength of the yearling market allows us to go into the Premier Sale with plenty of confidence.

“The broad appeal for the Premier Sale is attributable to well-conformed yearlings by a great variety of stallions, which has been proven year after year.

“Graduates of the Melbourne Premier Sale continue to perform well on national and international racetracks and this provides buyers with great confidence in the product on offer.”
