Breednet Sales Coverage - Feel Free to Nick It

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 4

The catalogue is essential ‘attire’ for any sale, but it’s often what is NOT in the catalogue that can be the difference between success and failure.

For starters, the printed version is often released up to two months before a sale: hence, those shopping at the 2021 Inglis Sydney Classic Yearling Sale - which kicks off at the Riverside complex on Sunday - won’t see on the page that Lot 561 (on behalf of Torryburn Stud) is a full brother to Hot King Prawn.

Yes, you can see that Hot King Prawn has won two Group 2s in Hong Kong but not that the horse won his first Group 1 at Sha Tin in late January, so check out catalgoue updates.

Click for comprehensive information on 2021 Inglis Classic.

What you definitely won’t find is ‘pinhook’ information for, say, the best represented sire in the sale - Deep Field - who has 42 entries. Jazcom Thoroughbreds, for instance, will offer a well related colt (Lot 348) by Deep Field that was sold for just $10,000 at last year’s Inglis Australian Weanling Sale. Since then, Newgate’s Deep Field has established himself as one of the hottest young sires in the nation with recent stakes winners including Isotope and Portland Sky.

Another aspect of the catalogue that you can only find online is the ‘sales information’ for each of the lots … i.e. what progeny out of the mare have sold for previously.

But, did you ever want to find out how successful a given sire is when matched up to the sire of the dam? The catalogue definitely doesn’t reveal that the two Savabeel yearlings at the Inglis Classic, from O’Reilly mares, is a ‘nick’ that has produced 101 winners - 18 of them stakes winners - from 139 runners.

Most wouldn’t know that Woodside Park’s Written Tycoon colt (Lot 153) from the Redoute’s Choice mare, Miss Ballantine, is a similar cross to a remarkable 20 winners from 22 runners.

Here’s the thing: Breednet has all that information - along with First Season Sire Galleries - on its website and it’s up and running now.

The information provided is for ALL vendors and yearlings entered for the sale.

See for yourself - www.breednet.com.au … it may well be the difference between winning and losing.
