Inglis’ Victorian Bloodstock manager James Price is confident the catalogue has all the right ingredients for buyers to enjoy both short-term and long-term success.
“The Great Southern Sale catalogue will again present a range of fantastic opportunities for buyers to invest at all levels of the market,’’ Price said.
“Having the likes of Burnewang North, Yulong, Blue Gum, Dorrington Farm, Gilgai, Rosemont, Noorilim, Springmount, Shadow Hill, Stonehouse, Crossley, Supreme Thoroughbreds, Three Bridges and Two Bays represented in the catalogue as vendors is fantastic and means that it is the strongest group of vendors for this sale that I can remember.
“There have been many great stories from the sale in recent years and some life changing results, so we are looking forward to another competitive renewal of the sale in June.
“The breeding stock market has begun strongly in Sydney with a record Australian Weanling Sale and plenty of great buying opportunities at the Australian Broodmare Sale and I have no doubt there are plenty of appealing opportunities in the Great Southern catalogue for buyers to capitalise on as well.’’
