Inglis' Easter record-breaker - feat. interviews with Tom Magnier, Sam Williams, James Harron and Sebastian Hutch

Welcome to a special edition of Straight Talk with Bren O'Brien and Tim Rowe, bringing you the highlights from the record-breaking Inglis Easter sales.

Despite global financial challenges, the thirst for elite bloodstock has driven the market to new heights, with average sales exceeding $450,000 per yearling.

The event at Riverside Stables showcased a smaller catalogue but an exceptionally competitive market, particularly for colts. Notably, buyers like Tom Magnier invested heavily, contributing to an overall aggregate exceeding $150 million. Fillies struggled to meet demand, underscoring a heated supply and demand dynamic.

Among the standout stories, a top-priced filly by Zoustar captured attention, bringing in $2.6 million. This sale underscored the growing faith in the colts market, as elite partnerships continue to influence stallion selections with a focus on future potential.

Sebastian Hutch of Inglis expressed a sense of vindication and excitement for the success, marking this event as a testament to their efforts in securing and marketing quality stock.
