Inglis Melbourne Gold Trade Soars 43%

At the close of trade following two days of selling at the 2021 Melbourne Gold Yearling Sale, the ever-increasing gross was $4,970,250 (up 43%) with a very healthy clearance rate of 85%. Inglis’ General Manager of Bloodstock Sales and Marketing Sebastian Hutch expressed his delight. “I’ve no doubt the recent success of graduates of this sale in the likes of Australian Guineas winner Lunar Fox, Australasian Oaks winner Media Award and Saturday’s Goodwood Handicap winner Savatoxl assured buyers to stand up and take notice of the sale, and the results over the past two days have been very pleasing as a result,’’ Hutch said. “To see the clearance rate of 85% already, gross at almost $5 million and the average up to almost $20,000, it’s very satisfying and it’s been an extremely successful couple of days here at Oaklands.” Referring to the new $260,000 sale record-setter purchased by Hong Kong owner Bon Ho (see earlier item), Hutch stated, “A special mention to Mr Ho and John Sadler who are fantastic supporters of Inglis and we wish them all the best with their beautiful filly in particular.’’
