Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said: “It’s rare that so late in the season will buyers have access to quality yearlings by the likes of Snitzel, Wootton Bassett, Dundeel etc, it really is a huge opportunity for trainers, agents and syndicators to fill their final yearling orders of 2025 with what is effectively their last chance to buy quality at a live auction.
