2012 Australian Easter Yearling Sale
The 2012 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale is held at the Newmarket sales complex in Sydney with a start date of Tuesday April 10, 2012.
The Easter Sale has a catalogue of 579 Lots to be sold over three days.
Representing the cream of the thoroughbred yearling crop from Australia and New Zealand’s leading breeders the depth of pedigree and strictness of conformation selection criteria is unsurpassed at any other Southern Hemisphere Sale.
Yearlings purchased at Easter set the benchmark on the track and at stud.
Leading sires Fastnet Rock, Encosta de Lago, Flying Spur and Exceed And Excel all went through Easter, as did recent well-performed blue-blooded retires Wanted, Von Costa de Hero, Beneteau and Onemorenomore plus current star racetrack entires Musir and Foxwedge.
Absolutely and Mosheen are prime examples of the quality fillies offered at Easter, winning the AJC Australian Oaks and VRC Oaks respectively last year. Easter fillies have won six of the last eight runnings of the VRC Oaks at Flemington.
Easter also has a strong affinity with Group One juvenile events, something recent city winners Raceway, De Shamekh and Jade Marauder will be hoping to add to later this season.
