Media Release - Tuesday February 6

The Inglis Revolution will continue with the hugely successful Chairman's Sale in April, following on from a stellar first edition of the sale a year ago.

Some of the southern hemisphere's best mares, weanlings and stallion shares will be offered to the strongest buying bench Australasia has to offer on Thursday April 12, a day after the conclusion of the Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

"We were able to sell all four of the quality mares we offered for healthy results and it was clear that even in the sale's first year, it was definitely embraced by the market.

"A select sale of this nature provides opportunities for both vendors and purchasers and particularly with the move to the new Riverside complex, the appeal of The Chairman's Sale will only be enhanced as it cements its place on the Australian bloodstock calendar.''

Yarraman Park's Harry Mitchell was also full of praise for the sale.

"You can't hide from the facts – the Chairman's Sale was a resounding success in its first year and Yarraman will absolutely be involved at this year's and are genuinely looking forward to it,'' Mitchell said.

The 2018 Chairman's Sale (Breeding Prospects) will be held at Riverside Stables on Thursday April 12.

Entries for the sale close Friday 23rd February. The Inglis Bloodstock team are available to discuss possible entries with interested parties over the course of the Classic Sale.
