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.

“The HTBA Sale continually produces outstanding value for buyers who do the work and this year’s catalogue is arguably as strong as it’s ever been.’’

All yearlings offered at the HTBA Sale are eligible – at a discounted rate - for the $12m Inglis Race Series including the popular $5m Xtra Bonus Series, the $1m Pink Bonus and the $2m Inglis Millennium.
