21 yearlings by leading Australian first season sire Alabama Express will be a drawcard for Inglis Premier.

The Premier Sale has proven to be a bonanza for buyers in recent years.

It has produced 27 G1-winning graduates since 2018 – 15 which could have been purchased for $100,000 or less - the likes of Nature Strip, Bella Nipotina, Mariamia, Ole Kirk, Tuvalu, Santa Ana Lane, Gytrash, Nimalee etc as well as 33 winners of Australia’s Open $1m+ races since 2019.

Inglis’ Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price is confident that the Premier Sale is again well stocked to provide buyers abundant opportunities to acquire their next top-class racehorse.

“I think it is a testament to the regard in which this sale is held by the market that buyers flock to it from across Australia and beyond in the expectation of finding horses that will go on to be outstanding racehorses, rather than in hope,” Price said.

“In that context, the sale is very much the quiet achiever of the Australian sales circuit – the graduate success, in recent years in particular, has been quite extraordinary.

“Whether it is 2YOs, Stakes winners, big money earners, fillies and mares or colts who go on to become stallions, Premier delivers all of the above year in year out and I expect the 2024 catalogue will provide plenty more success stories.

“A tremendously broad cross section of leading Victorian breeders are represented in the sale and it is particularly pleasing to have strong representation from two of the most exciting young stallions in Australia at the moment, Alabama Express and Blue Point, both of whom are Victorian-based.”

All yearlings purchased at the Premier Sale have the opportunity to nominate for the lucrative Inglis Race Series, which includes the $2m Inglis Millennium, the $1m Inglis Sprint, the $1m Inglis Pink Bonus - the most lucrative incentive scheme for female racehorse ownership in the world - and the $5m Inglis Xtra Bonus, which sees 50 $100,000 Bonus payments attached to allocated Maidens.
