Victorian stud to present ten yearlings online.

Woodside Park Stud have decided to sell ten yearlings that were originally set to sell at the Inglis Melbourne Gold Yearling Sale via the Inglis Online Digital Sale platform, with sale set to go online on April 24 and finish on April 29. 

Woodside decided to opt to sell the yearlings online after the sale was forced to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the stud keen to complete their preparation and use the digital platform to offer them for sale, rather than spell them and begin their sale preparation again in a month or two. 

Details of each lot will be released on Friday and will include yearlings by the stud's lynchpin stallion Written Tycoon (Iglesia), his highest rated son and promising first season sire Rich Enuff as well as champion european first season sire Cable Bay (Invincible Spirit).

Woodside Park CEO James Price said the draft would be offered unreserved. 

"By selling unreserved, we hope to assist our clients to continue to grow their businesses beyond COVID-19," said Price.  

 The Inglis Digital Platform has developed at a rapid pace as a result of the restrictions in place due to COVID-19 and the recent Inglis Easter Yearling Sale demonstrated vendors and buyers can achieve successful results. 

 "It is going to be difficult to change an age old tradition of presenting yearlings at a complex for potential buyers, but via exceptional videography, not seen before on a digital yearling sale platform, we believe we can achieve a successful result,"  said Price.

The standard vision will be available but included in each two-minute video will be footage of the horse working in a sand roll, trotting and cantering, giving buyers an exceptional degree of insight. All lots will also have a scoping certificate available on the sale page for everybody to view.
