Oct 12 Locked in for 2021 Ready2Race Sale

This year’s Inglis Ready2Race renewal will be held at Riverside Stables on Tuesday October 12. Breeze ups will take place at Seymour (Fri Sept 10), Eagle Farm (Tues Sept 14), Warwick Farm (Fri Sept 17) and Cambridge (Mon Sept 20) in the lead-up to the sale, as well as a final session back at Warwick Farm the Friday prior to the auction (Fri Oct 8). There will also be social events around the sale to help buyers get their eyes on the catalogue, while high-quality video footage of each breeze, as well as all times, will be available on the Inglis website within days of the gallops. “This is a sale format that we have real confidence in going forward’’ Inglis’ NSW Bloodstock Manager Chris Russell said. “We have invested significant time, energy and resources into the sale in recent years in particular, and that effort is now paying dividends for our vendors and our buyers.” Russell noted, “2YO sales in Australia have been known largely for their Asian buying bench – and that is still true to an extent – but one of the more pleasing elements of last year’s renewal was that 65% of the top 20 buyers were Australian-based and included the likes of James Harron, Guy Mulcaster, Mick Price, Bjorn Baker, Duncan Ramage, Matthew Smith, Gerald Ryan, Annabel Neasham, Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, Bill and James Mitchell, First Light Racing, Bevan Smith, Roll The Dice, James Clarke, Tricolours, Grand Syndicates, trainers, syndicators and agents that, it wasn’t long ago, would not even attend a breeze up auction, let alone be high on the buyers’ list.” Entries for the Inglis Ready2Race Sale close 5pm on Friday August 6.
