4 sAles tAlk “I think it has been a good sale. “At Easter you have to bring the real horse and you get paid real money. “There is probably not as much speculative money from the trainers and syndicators. Agents and trainers that have principals are chasing the elite horses for those principals and there is plenty of depth in that side of the market.” Henry Field, Newgate Farm “The sale has been strong in terms of a combination of domestic and international money. I am surprised to see the strength of the international market, especially considering the strength of the dollar. We thought that this [international spend] might be slightly down, so it is pleasing. “In terms of our sale we have had a relatively strong, solid sort of sale. We have had nice hoses sell well and we have also had nice horses that have fallen through the cracks, but that is the sale generally, I guess. It is not quite the level of 2008 and 2009 but we Entries close midday Friday 13 April SALES TALK Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale Friday 13 April 2012 ANZ are working very hard and the horses are selling, so we are happy enough. “What we are really happy to see is horses by our young stallions being really well received. Sebring averaged $145,000, and Northern Meteor averaged $180,000 at the sale, so that is really pleasing “It is also pleasing to see business being done after a horse goes through the ring unsold. Buyers are still working hard to fill their orders and plenty of nice horses that have been passed in were then sold afterwards. I think that is healthy for the sale in general.” Ryan McEvoy, Widden “I believe the pool of popular horses is shrinking and the top ten percent are very hard to buy but the remainder of the catalogue is extremely patchy. You can quite often walk in with a decent horse and have no bid whatsoever. It shows where we are in the market place at the moment and I am still a big believer that service fees have to be reduced.” Glenn Burrows, Willow Park www.anzbloodstocknews.com LAST CHANCE Don’t miss out.
