There are 113 lots catalogued with 106 QTIS eligible yearlings, our highest number ever. They represent the best quality yearlings that we have offered in recent years with a good spread of stallions ranging from the tried and true performers to some exciting new season sires.
Underpinning the sale's success is undoubtedly the attraction of the exclusive sale races series with buyers now having three opportunities to race exclusively for decent prizemoney. The 2YO Race carries prizemoney of $100,000 and there is now two 3 and 4YO (combined) Races worth $50,000 each for graduates to compete in.
These races carry QTIS bonuses for eligible horses and as an added incentive this year, offered by Racing Queensland, these bonuses will double for the 2 and 3YO winners of these races. A winning filly could pocket an additional $25,500 bringing the total winner's purse to $89,500, whilst colts will receive a $17,000 bonus, $81,000 in total to the winner.
The chances of winning these races are normally around one in seventy, so whilst the prizemoney isn't as grand as other sale race series, your chances of winning are much better.
If anyone is looking for a QTIS eligible 2YO for next season then they need to seriously consider the 2018 Capricornia Yearling Sale. With 106 QTIS yearlings on offer this year we have our biggest draft to date.
The sale has produced some great horses with River Lad being the most recent successful graduate along with Looks Like The Cat and Cash Dash, both of whom sold to Hong Kong for $500,000 each.
