487 lots catalogued for 2022 renewal to be held on April 5 and 6
A total of 487 lots have been catalogued for the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, with the catalogue now available to view online.
The catalogue features the relations to 152 Stakes winners including 40 Group One winners and the progeny of 178 stakes-winning mares, 37 of whom were Group ONe winners themselves. Of the catalogued lots, 408 – or 84% - are BOBS Eligible.
"We are genuinely humbled by the support Australasia's best breeders and vendors have given this sale, it truly is a special catalogue,'' Inglis Bloodstock chief executive Sebastian Hutch said.
"The results from the Easter Sale speak for themselves – it is statistically the best yearling sale in the Southern Hemisphere and the sale where you are most likely to find a top-class horse, year after year.
"The pedigrees catalogued this year are exceptional, as they always are at Easter, and the physicals are there to match.
"While the top end of the market is always strong at Easter, there is so much value at this auction year in year out as well that buyers can enjoy. In recent years the sale has produced a host of Group One winners that could have been bought for $200,000 or less like Exceedance and Funstar and Nettoyer etc, so there's something for everyone's budget at Easter.''
