A total of 487 lots have been catalogued for the sale, which has long been regarded as the best in the Southern Hemisphere for not only racetrack success but also stallion-makers and champion fillies-turned-broodmares.

A half-brother to Home Affairs to be offered by Torryburn Stud is one of the Easter highlights.

Since 2018, Easter has produced 26 G1 winners including colts such as Home Affairs, In The Congo, Wild Ruler, The Autumn Sun, Trapeze Artist, Merchant Navy, Russian Revolution, Exceedance, Super Seth, Stronger, Alabama Express etc and the best race fillies and mares like Estijaab, Personal, Loving Gaby, Funstar, Nettoyer, Aristia etc.

Easter yearlings have won Stakes races in 10 different countries in recent years also - Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, Macau, Ireland, England, Korea and Singapore.

“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 1 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.’’

Hard copies of the Easter catalogue will be available within a fortnight.
