"The Gold Sale continues to go from strength to strength and the recent racetrack successes by the likes of especially Savatoxl and Media Award and Lunar Fox, who have all won Group 1 races in the past couple of seasons,'' Inglis' Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price said.
"The yearling market has been very strong to date this year and the Gold Sale provides buyers with an opportunity to secure some quality stock at prices that aren't out of reach for most.
"With so many of these yearlings also Super Vobis nominated and prize money levels so strong in Victorian and all around Australia at the moment, I strongly urge participants to take a close look at the Gold catalogue to source their next stable stars.''
For those unable to attend Oaklands for the sale, the Inglis online bidding system will again be available and all pertinent information - as well as videos and photos - will be on the Inglis website.
