Welcome to the 2025 Classic Yearling Sale. If you are serious about finding value in an extraordinarily competitive Australasian bloodstock market, the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale at Riverside never fails to deliver.
Make no mistake – Inglis Classic is the best vaue yearling sale in the Southern Hemisphere and its reputation as such only continues to grow.
For a sale where the average price of an Australian Stakes winner since 2018 is a little more than $110,000, the quality of horses that continue to come out of this sale defies expectation, year after year.
Consider results from the sale over the last 12 months alone. A multiple G1-winning mare so good she was acclaimed the best of her sex in the world in Pride Of Jenni, a dual G1-winning colt of the famed Doncaster Mile and Randwick Guineas in Celestial Legend and a 3YO colt in Veight so good he won no less than the G1 George Ryder at WFA, a trio acquired at the Classic Sale for just $540,000 that are now worth many, many multiples of that.
The knack of the sale for producing top-class horses is why it is so popular with so many buyers – think back to the likes of Choisir, I Am Invincible, Extreme Choice, She Will Reign, In Her Time, Brazen Beau, Yankee Rose, Hellbent, Vow And Declare and Castelvecchio, to more recent stars like Classique Legend, Mazu, Icebath, Pippie, Shadow Hero, Communist, Palaisipan, Coco Sun and others.
Throw in Hong Kong stars like Voyage Bubble, Beauty Eternal, Hot King Prawn, Super Sunny Sing, Cordyceps Six and the picture becomes very clear.
The simple fact is that more Australian Stakes winners, 82 at the time of writing, could have been bought at this sale for $100,000 or less since 2018 than any other Australasian sale –proper horses, champions, for not a lot of money.
The 2025 Classic catalogue of 805 yearlings promises to produce more of the same. The diversity among the catalogue – there are 106 individual sires, 18 of whom are first season sires, represented in drafts offered by 73 individual vendors – will ensure there is something for everybody at Riverside on February 9-11.
Of the catalogued lots, 669 are BOBS eligible (83%) while others are VOBIS Silver, QTIS etc.
Classic also presents the first opportunity of the new year for buyers to become involved in the fabulous incentive schemes on offer as part of the hugely lucrative Inglis Race Series.
Good luck in your search for the horse of your dreams at the Classic Sale in 2025.
Regards, Sebastian
