Solid Trade At Inglis March Sale

Inglis's March Thoroughbred Sale of mixed offerings at Oaklands in Melbourne enjoyed solid trade on Friday, with increases in both average and median. The number offered and sold was down on last year (142 of 156 offered sold compared to 172 of 185 last year), meaning the gross dipped slightly to A$1,254,350, and the buyback rate was a healthy 9% (it was 7% last year). The average climbed 14.4% to A$8,833, while the median was up 66.7% to A$5,000.

The top-priced lot of the day was the 3-year-old gelding Barjeel (Aus) (Foxwedge {Aus}) (lot 153), a dual winner. He was bought by Tasmania's Fairlands Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing for A$58,000. Yu Long Investments was the sale's leading buyer, with 17 lots purchased.

Inglis's Victorian Bloodstock Manager Simon Vivian said, “As always, I would like to thank both the vendors and the purchasers for their support of the sale. It was a pleasing and enjoyable sale.”
