2026 Inglis Yearling Sale Series Entries Open

Media Release - Sunday July 27

Entries for the 2026 Inglis Select Yearling Sales Series – which will be headlined by the presence of the highly anticipated Snitzel x Winx colt at the Easter Sale – are now open.

In 2025, Inglis was the only Australasian auction house to increase live auction yearling turnover year-on-year, with its overall yearling average ($160,977) and median ($80,000) the best in the business by some 31% and 45.5% respectively.

There will again be four yearling sales at Inglis next year – Classic (Feb 8-10), Premier (Mar 1-3), Easter (Mar 29 & 30) and HTBA (Apr 19).

$3million Home Affairs colt from Shout the Bar topped 2025 Inglis Easter.

In what was a hugely successful 2025 sales season:

*Inglis gained a majority market share from select yearling sales turnover against its nearest rival, despite offering 622 fewer lots

*Inglis yearling sales enjoyed a market-leading 82.6% clearance rate across all of its sales as well as selling 27 $1m+ lots, more than double that of the Magic Millions.

*Inglis also sold more yearlings for $200,000+, more yearlings for $500,000+ and more yearlings for $750,000+

*Inglis sales resulted in an extraordinary number of buyer participation – there were 56 buyers per 100 sold at Classic, 58 per 100 sold at Premier and Easter and 66 per 100 sold at HTBA, compared to just 48 buyers per 100 sold at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale

*International spend ($64,796,000) was not only up 20% YoY but was double that of the Magic Millions, from 145 individually listed international buyers at Inglis compared to 83

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said the focus for the Spring would be to work closely with vendors and breeders to assemble the most appealing catalogues possible, with a view to optimising returns for those selling with Inglis.

“We genuinely enjoy what we do for work, we pride ourselves on working hard for our clients and the team gets a huge thrill in seeing our clients enjoy great success at all levels of the market,’’ Hutch said.

“We want our customer service to be widely regarded as the best not only in Australia but around the world, we work hard to get a lot of buyers to our sales and we want them to enjoy their experience, to have access to the best horses and for them to get great results for themselves to ensure they keep coming back.

“We were delighted with how our yearling sales series in 2025 played out, particularly relative to the performance of other sales early in the season, so to have defied and then reversed the negative market trend of those sales was very satisfying.

“We celebrate our clients’ success with them and understand the nature of the investment and the amount of hard work that goes into the journey to get a horse to a yearling sale so we strive to facilitate the best markets that we can across all of our sales.

“We’ve been excited for 2026 since the moment the gavel fell on the last yearling in 2025 so it’s time to hit the road and work with our clients to get their horses into the most suitable sales for them to maximise their prospects of achieving a dream result. 

“We are particularly excited about the Easter Yearling Sale, given the incredible performance of the sale in 2025, and we firmly believe that the format of the sale, with catalogued lots to be capped at 450, will allow us to again deliver outstanding results for those who support the sale with appropriate stock.”
