Inglis MD Stunned by Easter Market Strength

After the 2021 Easter Yearling Sale had set a new southern hemisphere record of almost $65 million,for a single day’s trade on Tuesday, Inglis’ Managing Director Mark Webster was blown away by the strength of the market. “We always believed we had a strong catalogue and everybody knows Easter is the ‘Best of the Best’ but at the end of the day, we are still in the midst of a global pandemic… My team has worked extremely hard to ensure as many buyers as possible were on the grounds or in front of their computers and the result are there for all to see.” Webster pointed out, “The quality of horses that the breeders and vendors have presented this week at Riverside is nothing short of exceptional and they deserve all the financial reward they get. All that said, the job is only half done and there is another day ahead of us tomorrow [Wednesday] where we offer the last Redoute’s Choice, the last Deep Impact and the last of the Shadwell reduction so it’s going to be another poignant day in the history of our great industry.’’ Tuesday’s Inglis broadcast saw a 60 percent surge in viewership from already impressive stats at earlier sales this year, with 50,000 individual viewers for the day and more than 150,000 views, from 104 countries, matching last year’s spectacular Easter coverage.
