Long known as the Best of the Best, Easter is the most important yearling sale in the Southern Hemisphere, a message Inglis CEO Sebastian Hutch wanted to highlight.
“We are incredibly grateful that year after year, Australia and New Zealand’s best breeders save their best stock for Easter and 2026 is no exception,’’ Hutch said.
“The demand for places in the sale was overwhelmingly strong and we could have catalogued significantly more yearlings than what we have, but we were determined to try and manage the numbers carefully and I’m pleased with where we have settled.
“This year’s catalogue has a depth of quality that is unprecedented in recent years and that’s saying something, given the incredible reputation of the sale with recent graduates like Autumn Glow, Switzerland, Joliestar, Cap Ferrat, Lady Shenandoah, Transatlantic, Zougotcha, Overpass, Home Affairs, Climbing Star, She’s Extreme, Autumn Angel, Growing Empire, Napoleonic, Caballus, Femminile, Getta Good Feeling, Estriella, My Gladiola etc.
“It’s also important to note that at the 2025 renewal of Easter, 104 yearlings could have been bought for $200,000 or less, highlighting the value on offer at Easter.
“Easter produces colts that become stallions, outstanding fillies that can create a breeding dynasty and is the sale that consistently produces the most high-class 2YOs as a percentage of lots offered.
“Easter also possesses the highest Stakes winners/runners ratio of any Australasian yearling sale and buyers are 31% more likely to find a Group winner at Easter than the Magic Millions January Sale.
“The group of fillies assembled for the sale is arguably stronger than at any time in recent history and it’s worth bearing in mind that the dams of each of the past three winners of the G1 Golden Slipper were sourced as yearlings at Easter.
“The opportunity to offer the Snitzel son of 25-time G1-winning champion mare Winx this year is a tremendous privilege and we are very much looking forward to it being another memorable experience.’’
All yearlings purchased at the Easter Sale have the opportunity to nominate for the lucrative Inglis Race Series which includes the $2m Inglis Millennium, the $1m Inglis Pink Bonus - the most lucrative incentive scheme for female racehorse ownership in the world - and the $5m Inglis Xtra Bonus, which sees 50 $100,000 bonus payments annually attached to allocated maidens around Australia.
Hard copies of the Easter catalogue will be available within a fortnight.
