Inglis' Ready2Race Sale Now Early October

The schedule for the 2021 edition of Australia’s most successful 2YO auction – the Inglis Ready2Race Sale – has been confirmed. Off the back of a record-breaking sale in 2020, the sale will take place as a physical auction at Riverside Stables on Tuesday October 5, making it the first 2YO auction of the season. Breeze ups will again be held at Seymour, Eagle Farm, Warwick Farm and Cambridge throughout September before the auction in Sydney three days after Epsom Day on the October long weekend. “The Ready2Race market in Australia is very progressive, as evidenced by the involvement of a lot of the major domestic buyers in the 2020 renewal of our sale,’’ Inglis’ General Manager of Bloodstock Sales and Marketing Sebastian Hutch said. “More and more good horses are graduating from the sale – Nettoyer, Wishful Thinker, Allibor, Trumbull, Stageman and Malkovich among others – and the confidence in the format, thanks to the professional work of the preparers and consignors, just grows and grows.” Hutch explained why the sale date had been tweaked: “We have brought the sale date forward slightly at the suggestion of buyers to allow them to target more of the Spring two-year-old races with their purchases, but the breeze up schedule remains the same to last year.“
