An additional two days of Book 1 follow at 11 a.m. each day, while a single-session Book 2, will also commence at that hour on Feb. 13.

“The Classic Sale has produced some of Australia's best Group 1 performers in recent years including reigning Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign (Aus) and the likes of I Am A Star (NZ), Yankee Rose (Aus) and Extreme Choice (Aus) just to name a few,” said Inglis National Bloodstock Director Jonathan D'Arcy. “There is no better value sale in Australia than the Inglis Classic Sale. The inaugural Gold Riband session was an overwhelming success last year and with it again being on opening night in 2018–which doubles as opening night of our new Riverside Stables complex–Saturday Feb. 10 is going to be one memorable day and night.”
All yearlings offered at an Inglis Yearling Sale are eligible for entry into the A$6-million Inglis Race Series.
