Inglis releases star-studded Easter catalog


Sebastian Hutch has praised the in-depth strength of this year’s Inglis Australia Easter Sale catalog following its release on 22 January by the Sydney-based auction house.

Inglis has compiled a portfolio of 457 lots for the show sale, which Hutch considers “the jewel in the crown of the Australian sales season.” The auction will run for two days April 3 and 4, with headlines featuring some outstanding lots from Australia’s leading breeders and suppliers.

With 40 Cataloged Lots, Arrowfield Stud’s Snitzel leader in male representation, a marked increase on the 26 Lots cataloged last year, closely followed by its formidable rival in Yarraman Park I am invincible people with 39 young are cataloged in 2023.

But while the progeny of two of Australia’s top stallions in recent years will no doubt be in high demand at Easter, Hutch is keen to let people know about the high quality and variety of their stock. Shipments are offered from emerging stallions, with the Australian livestock scene going through what he calls a ‘transition’ period.

Hutch told ANZ Bloodstock News on January 22: “I’m happy with the catalog. It’s all about trying to put together the strongest team of the best certified horses we can.”

“On Easter it is expected that the horses will be the most beautiful horses, with the best pedigree, from the best breeders and I think the catalog has achieved that.

“We’re in a transitional period for the stallion population in this country, in which we’ve integrated a lot of stallions with what’s supposed to be more than just well-proven stallions. best—I Am Invincibles, Snitzels, Your Written Tycoons, Zostars, Exceed And Excels, etc.—but also the best emerging stallions.

“There are strong groups of ponies like Justify, Trapeze Artist, The Autumn Sun and Toronado, whose mares records have improved year over year. It was the best Deep Field team we’ve had on occasion. Easter.

“The catalog has immense, diverse power and depth, and we’re excited about it.”

Overall, 54 individual sires are presented in the catalog, compared with 59 a year ago.

“It’s a very strong early-season brood,” said Hutch. “It’s a large group where there doesn’t necessarily have to be one standout on the market early in the breeding season.”

“The market has reacted well to almost all of them based on evidence of early sales and we expect each of those stallions to perform well at the Classic, Premier and Easter.

“We don’t have many of them at Easter, but the one-year ponies can be very good. Especially things like Too Darn Hot, Blue Point, Yes Yes Yes, Zousain, Exceedance, Castelvecchio. There are some really, really good one-year-olds with some good pedigree and I think they’ll be found in abundance.”

Inglis’ Easter flag sale broke all records in two unusual trading days in 2022, raking in AU$154 million ($107,288,720), up 13.7% on 2021 and grossed an average of AU$399,700 (US$278,463).

AU$2.7 million ($1,881,036) I Am Invincible leads the way. However, while Hutch believes the vibrant trading activity in Queensland will be welcome, Inglis’ blood stock manager has called for caution for the remainder of the sales season on whether 2022 results can be repeated or not.

“We don’t tend to put ourselves down with expectations. We like to be able to walk out of the auditorium at the end of each day and say we’ve assembled the best market possible, with buyer representation. good, good clearance and good turnover. That’s what happened last year,” Hutch said.

“If you had told me 12 months ago that we were capable of breaking the Easter record dating back to 2008, a sale where we offered 150 more horses than last year, I would have I tell you it’s impossible Totally ridiculous So I’m reluctant to compare last year’s catalog, but I think people will be really impressed with what they see from the horses. this and what they see from the book, and I know our suppliers are particularly optimistic about what’s in the catalog and with a bit of luck it’s going to be a really good sale.

“We have a series of significant price drops that last through February and March and I think there is an expectation that there will be good liquidity in the market and that is what we expect. I just have to be careful. It’s important to make predictions that we’ll be able to match numbers from 2022, in terms of certain metrics.I think 2022 is such an extraordinary year that I encourage everyone to be more open. about where the market could be by the end of the year.”

“By Easter it is expected that there will be a more stable and higher quality stock available and I think that will happen a lot by 2023,” Hutch said.

“But we also tried to highlight the fact that Easter has always been a sale you can afford. And certainly over the years the people who targeted that sale have done a great job. And that will be no different this year.

“Everybody knows that two-thirds of the saplings a year that are sold have an average selling price or less, so the average Easter discount or lower opens up more people in the market.”
