Inglis has opened entries for its annual Ready2Race Sale, set to take place in Sydney this spring and catering to two-year-olds preparing to hit the track.
The sale, scheduled for October 16, follows the success of last year’s standout— a Written Tycoon filly who fetched $1 million at Riverside. That result has given Inglis confidence in assembling a strong catalogue for this year’s edition.
To precede the main event, breeze-up sessions will be held at Taupo in New Zealand and Warwick Farm on September 29, followed by a session at Wangaratta on September 30.
“Over the past five years or so in particular, the quality of the stock and the nature of the participants has improved markedly as we look to compete with the two-year-old sale in New Zealand,” Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said.
“This is reflected in the success of graduates such as Rubylot, who is one of the best young horses in Hong Kong, and high-class domestic money spinners like Libertad, Tavi Time, Democracy Manifest, Strait Acer and so many more.
“We have a huge domestic market into which stock can be traded and that has been a real area of strength for the Inglis two-year-old sale, more so than any other Australasian two-year-old sale.
“Further to that, the support of international buyers of our sales, particularly leading owners, trainers and agents associated with the Hong Kong market, has been incredible.
“Since the turn of the year, we have sold stock to buyers in 15 different countries around the world including the likes of Japan, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan and Mongolia and these extensive relationships are amongst those that we will be looking to leverage at the sale.”
