THE WORLD CAME TO BUY
“ It’s huge. It’s very special. I’m over the moon. This is the biggest result we’ve ever had. This horse could have gone to anywhere. You dream, we were hoping around the $200,000 mark so to get that amount of money for him is just amazing.’’

“It’s a sale that gives us smaller vendors a chance to show our stock… it’s thoroughly enjoyable, we’re always so well looked after by the Inglis staff and the guidance Brett Gilding (Inglis Bloodstock Sales Manager and Auctioneer) gives us down on the farm, you just feel really supported. Kudos to the team, it’s a great place to sell horses.’’
— KIRSTY WILLIS, RHEINWOOD PASTORAL CO, WHO SOLD ALL 7 YEARLINGS OFFERED INCLUDING A CAPTIVANT FILLY FOR $220,000
“ To get $400,000, we’re over the moon. We put a reserve of $150,000 on him, thinking he might make $250,000 so to get $400,000, it’s a huge result. Inspections all week have been remarkably strong...from the get-go here at Classic, it was like back to the boom times in terms of the number of parades we had. I felt sorry for my manager Jade and the staff, they honestly didn’t stop all week, they had to eat lunch on the run, it’s been phenomenal.’’
— GLENN BURROWS, WILLOW PARK STUD, WHO SOLD 13 YEARLINGS FOR ALMOST $1.5M INCLUDING A WOOTTON BASSETT COLT FOR $400,000

It’s been a great week. The Classic Sale is such a magnificent sale because you get such a wide buying bench turn up, a lot from Hong Kong, all sorts of internationals turn up here and a heap of trainers and everyone else. Inglis do a bloody fantastic job pulling it all together, it’s just phenomenal.”

“
Unbelievable. To achieve a result like this here on your home deck…it feels pretty darn good. I’m still shaking. It’s a lot of money. You never expect $1m. I thought he was a $500,000 horse…you’ve got to let the market tell you and we got told today in the most emphatic way. It’s nice to have etched the Frankel x Heavenly Curlin into Inglis Premier history. To get that horse on those record books is a real feather in our cap and in Inglis’ cap. Hats off to Inglis, you guys bring a great buying bench here every year so if we bring the right horses, we can get really well rewarded.”
— ANTHONY MITHEN, ROSEMONT STUD, WHO SOLD 22 YEARLINGS FOR OVER $3.5M, INCLUDING THE FRANKEL x HEAVENLY CURLIN COLT FOR $1M
THE FIRST SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE YEARLING SALE IN 2025 TO SHOW YEAR ON YEAR GROWTH
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS FROM HONG KONG, JAPAN, USA, NEW ZEALAND, SOUTH AFRICA, CHINA, MONGOLIA, THAILAND, PHILIPPINES etc
“ I’ll tell you what, we have this whacky notion down here of taking our A-Grade stock up to the Gold Coast and try to sell them but year in year out, you front up with the right horses here [at Inglis Premier] and they make top money, a lot more than they can make up there. It’s been the best week I’ve had in 30 years selling horses. It’s been super. It’s truly extraordinary. This is the only sale this year that’s gone forward. It’s testament to the hard work these Inglis lads have put in. It’s been the most amazing sale.’’

“ I’m still shaking, it’s unreal. I was hoping he’d bring $150,000…he had a number of Hong Kong buyers on him, it’s a great price.’’
— JEFF KRUGER, LYNDHURST FARM (BELOW MIDDLE) , WHO SOLD THE EARTHLIGHT x SANADAAT COLT FOR $475,000 THROUGH ALMA VALE THOROUGHBREDS
Premier Moments
“ We’ve been the busiest we’ve ever been. One of the girls even said to me ‘I am flat, I’ve got no more in the tank’ and that was at 2.30pm on an inspection day. I said ‘we’ve still got two hours to go!”
— RODNEY NOTMAN, NORTHMORE THOROUGHBREDS, WHO SOLD 13 YEARLINGS FOR OVER $1.29M
“ Harry Bailey, he’s worked really hard in selecting what horses we wanted to bring down here from the Hunter Valley to stand out. Inglis has done a super job as always getting the foot traffic here. It’s been a great week.”
— OSCAR ENGLEBRECHT, ALMA VALE THOROUGHBREDS WHICH SOLD ALL 7 YEARLINGS OFFERED, GROSSING $1.35M
“We’ve had buyers from Queensland, New Zealand, Hong Kong, WA, as well as our locals in Victoria. We like our stats and there have been record inspections this year, the foot traffic the past seven days has just been immense. It’s just incredible what’s happened here.”
— RYAN ARNEL, STONEHOUSE THOROUGHBREDS, WHO SOLD 18 YEARLINGS FOR $1.45M

“ As long as I’ve been in the game, Widden and Inglis have been around a long time together and Easter has always been it. It is an elite sale and you do need to turn up with some serious horses because the buyers here really know what they want. There’s all the best judges here and they’re working very hard. To have a filly like that shine at Easter and stand out in the green book is something that is pretty cool. It’s a hard thing to do and it’s not wasted on us.’’
— ANTONY THOMPSON, WIDDEN STUD, WHO SOLD 18 YEARLINGS FOR $13.2M, INCLUDING THE HIGHEST-PRICED YEARLING FILLY IN THE SALE
“ I have no words, which is very unusual for me. Just an unbelievable result. He was so busy throughout the sale process. The reserve was $400,000, I thought he could make $500,000 or $600,000 and that’s genuinely the truth. I’m just lost for words, I’m so shocked. There were a lot of good judges on him, he had a lot of vetting. Unbelievable.’’

“ Thrilled with that result, absolutely thrilled. Inspections were always strong. Found it a fantastic sale, it’s great to come to a select sale where the buyers are motivated, even in troubled times. Inglis has done a great job, it’s wonderful.”
— STEVE MORLEY, GLENLOGAN PARK, WHO SOLD ALL 5 YEARLINGS OFFERED, INCLUDING A SNITZEL COLT FOR $1M
“It’s nearly 90% clearance through the ring which is literally unheard of. It’s an incredible result. From a Segenhoe perspective, we’ve had an extraordinary sale... and I think that’s the same for all vendors. It’s a combination of the expertise of Inglis and the buying group you’ve had here is just extraordinary, from $100,000 horses to $3m horses and that’s what you want as a vendor.”
