Auction to take place at Riverside after Scone Yearling Sale
A total of 94 yearlings have been catalogued for the Round 2 of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale which will take place after the Scone Yearling Sale at Riverside Stables on July 5.
The unique Easter Round 2 catalogue is a combination of yearlings originally catalogued for the Easter Yearling Sale, plus a handful of additional entries and it will be held as a live auction at the Sydney site.
It contains some of the southern hemisphere’s best-bred yearlings by all the leading Australian stallions such as I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice), Pierro (Lonhro), Exceed And Excel (Danehill), Fastnet Rock (Danehill), Lonhro (Octagonal), Written Tycoon (Iglesia), So You Think (High Chaparral), Dundeel (High Chaparral), Sebring (More Than Ready), Zoustar (Northern Meteor), Deep Field (Northern Meteor) and Not A Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice), as well as international superstars, including Frankel (Galileo) and Medaglia d’Oro (El Prado).
First Season Sires such as American Pharoah (Pioneerof The Nile), Capitalist (Written Tycoon), Shalaa (Invincible Spirit), Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt), Divine Prophet (Choisir) and Astern (Medaglia d’Oro) are also represented.
Inspections will be available at Riverside from July 2 and due to the coronavirus pandemic strict biosecurity measures will be in place at on site during inspection days and sale day, with information surrounding that to be made available in coming weeks.
“As has been well documented, the lead-up to the traditional Easter Yearling Sale in April was against a back-drop of a hugely challenging environment as a result of the pandemic’’ Inglis general manager of bloodstock and marketing Sebastian Hutch said.
“It was agreed at the time that it would be appropriate to offer vendors and buyers a further opportunity to acquire Easter yearlings at a later date, so the concept of Easter Round 2 was born and we are very pleased with how the catalogue has come together.
“The recent Group 1 success of horses like Dreamforce, Nettoyer and Quick Thinker further demonstrates the value represented by Easter yearlings and we have every confidence that quality racehorses will emerge from this catalogue.”

The colt, who will be offered by Widden Stud, is catalogued as Lot 280.
