- A New Record Price for a Yearling Filly in VIC
- The 2nd most expensive Premier Yearling Ever
“IT’S UNBELIEVABLE . I’M SPEECHLESS. We had a plan, we thought we’d bring this filly here to stand out at the sale, support Oaklands and the Victorian breeders and I’m just so happy for the team. I’m just over the moon. She’s a lovely filly, we’re really proud we sold her here in Melbourne. THIS FILLY COULD HAVE GONE ANYWHERE BUT WE JUST THOUGHT ‘NO, LET’S MAKE A NAME FOR OURSELVES down here in Melbourne and showcase her off’ and she’s done us really proud. I THOUGHT SHE COULD MAKE BETWEEN $600,000-$800,000 BUT THAT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE, ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE .”

I thought he might have pushed into the four-hundred-thousands but ONCE HE GOT TO HALF A MILLION I WAS DELIGHTED and when they were still going tug-of-war at $560,000, I started to think where I’m going to go for dinner!”
Anthony Mithen, Rosemont Stud, who sold 25 yearlings for $3,085,000, including a Starspangledbanner colt for $560,000

Linda Duckworth, Fairview Park Stud, who sold the Written Tycoon x Meryl colt for $1,400,000
“When we were prepping him I thought he could be a $400,000 colt, then when I got here and he was really popular I thought maybe $600,000... HE’S EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, I THOUGHT MAYBE HE COULD SNEAK CLOSE TO $1M BUT I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING.”John Messara, Arrowfield Stud, leading vendor by aggregate, with sales of $22,810,000 John Messara Linda Duckworth

“ FANTASTIC. What a result. EASTER IS WHERE YOU BRING QUALITY and in one word, that’s how you describe this filly. [EASTER] WAS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE. We’ve been very fortunate, it’s all lined up, we’re all very proud.”
Rob Petith, Silverdale Farm, who sold 8 yearlings for $4,950,000, including the sale-topping The Autumn Sun x Via Africa filly for $1,800,000
“It’s the quality of the physical as well as the pedigree together, that’s why MR ZHANG WANTED TO REALLY GO STRONG HERE. HE SEES IT AS THE BEST OF THE BEST HERE, he knows it’s quality.”
Sam Fairgray, Yulong, purchasers of 25 yearlings to the value of over $12.1m
“To be perfectly honest I was worried about the middle and particularly the bottom end but I’ve been extremely surprised at the strength of it. We had about 10 horses in the bracket and we were worried but they’ve all sold. IT’S A CREDIT TO INGLIS’ TO GET THE DIVERSE BUYING BENCH THAT’S NEEDED, NOT JUST AT THE TOP END BUT RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD AND THAT’S BEEN A HUGE HELP FOR US AS VENDORS.”
$1,952,550 in turnover in 2023
“IT’S REALLY QUITE PHENOMENAL that he’s sold for $200,000 today. We were thinking he could make his $60,000-$80,000, we certainly didn’t anticipate him ending where he did, that’s for sure. I reckon THERE WERE EIGHT OR NINE DIFFERENT BIDDERS ON HIM IN THE RING and we never try to pick the last bid when it comes to reserves, but we’re delighted. WE BROUGHT SIX HERE AND SOLD ALL SIX SO WE’RE REALLY HAPPY.’’
