G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Griff (Trapeze Artist) is one of many standout lots entered for the sale.
The now 4YO won the Listed Exford Plate and G2 Bill Stutt Stakes before claiming the stallion-making Caulfield Guineas last year, defeating the likes of Militarize, Veight, Southport Tycoon, King Colorado, Little Brose etc.
Griff finished within three lengths of Arkansaw Kid in the G2 Bobbie Lewis this Spring Carnival and is being offered as a racing prospect with a stallion career awaiting.
Ellsberg is another stallion being offered in the December Sale.
Ellsberg won the G1 Epsom Handicap two years ago and has stood the 2023 and 2024 breeding seasons at Murrulla Stud.
