In total, 66 individual vendors will present drafts at Oaklands next year.
The selling schedule will remain the same as 2024 – two days of Book 1 (565 lots) with the third and final day of the sale exclusively for Book 2 (238 lots).
The Premier Sale continues to be a source of significant success both in Australia and abroad, as Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch pointed out.
“The recent success of the Premier Yearling Sale makes it a no-brainer to shop at the sale in 2025,’’ Hutch said.
“There is no greater selling point for this sale than the fact three of the past four winners of the $20m G1 The Everest – Bella Nipotina, Think About It and Nature Strip – were offered at the Premier Yearling Sale.
“The trio could have been purchased for a combined $270,000 and between them, they have won more than $53m in prizemoney and counting.
“Throw in the likes of Attrition, I Am Me, Nadal, Griff, Tuvalu, Benedetta, Socks Nation, Mariamia, Santa Ana Lane, Ole Kirk, September Run, Hey Doc, Gytrash, Kenedna etc and the fact that of the 31 G1-winning graduates out of the sale since 2018, 16 could have been secured for $100,000 or less, it really does paint a picture that buyers simply need to be involved in the sale in 2025.
“Premier has also been the source of incredible recent Hong Kong success through the likes of recent G1 winners Victor The Winner and Invincible Sage, as well as a host of other high-class performers such as Senor Toba, Mugen, Full Of Beauty, Champion’s Way, Handsome Bo Bo etc and we’re already excited to see what the 2025 graduates develop into.’’
All entries are eligible for the fabulous incentive schemes on offer as part of the hugely lucrative Inglis Race Series.
