The sale is also responsible for 33 graduates to have earned $1m or more in Australia, as well as the winners of 314 individual Australian Stakes races in that time frame.

It’s not only in Australia that Premier has proven a happy hunting ground for buyers – the sale has provided the winners of 195 individual races in Hong Kong since 2018 through the likes of Victor The Winner, Beat The Clock, Invincible Sage, Senor Toba, Mugen, Champion’s Way, Full Of Beauty, Handsome Bo Bo etc.

Inglis’ Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price was delighted with how the 2026 catalogue had come together.

“I feel the standard of yearlings catalogued for the sale for 2026 is higher than at any time I can remember and I know my colleagues feel the sale,’’ Price said.

“The quality of the pedigrees, in terms of both stallion power and female families, reads exceptionally well. Our expectation was that the strength of the sale in 2025 – noting it was the first Southern Hemisphere sale of 2025 to post improved metrics year on year – would help us to consolidate a stronger catalogue in 2026 and we are confident that is the case.

“Historically the Premier Sale has been a hugely significant producer of superstars with graduates including Black Caviar, Starspangledbanner, Nature Strip, Bella Nipotina, Ole Kirk, Sacred Kingdom, Written By, Booker, September Run, Masked Crusader etc and I’m confident the 2026 catalogue will produce any number of stars as well. 

“It is always a fun time to be in one of the world’s great cities in Melbourne and we look forward to welcoming our guests for the sale.”

All yearlings offered at Premier are eligible for the lucrative Inglis Race Series.

Hard copies of the catalogue will be available within the next fortnight.
