The catalogue for the HTBA Yearling Sale is now available online.
The HTBA Sale – which will be held at Riverside Stables on Sunday April 27 – is an auction that provides buyers with a late-season opportunity to find quality and value.
Year after year, graduates of this sale shine on the racetrack and provide serious return on investment for their owners.
Graduates of the sale since 2018 have won over $60m in prizemoney, which is over 2.5 times their combined purchase price.
Horses like Tintookie, a $30,000 buy for trainer Brad Widdup who has since become a G3 winner of $500,000 prizemoney, Rocketing By - purchased for $22,000 and won $2.8m - The Bopper cost $30,000 and has since won $550,000, Bazooka has won $557,726 off a $14,000 purchase price and so on.
This year’s catalogue contains 299 yearlings, 243 (or 81% of the catalogue) of which are BOBS eligible while others are VOBIS and QTIS qualified.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said: “It’s rare that so late in the season will buyers have access to quality yearlings by the likes of Snitzel, Wootton Bassett, Dundeel etc, it really is a huge opportunity for trainers, agents and syndicators to fill their final yearling orders of 2025 with what is effectively their last chance to buy quality at a live auction.
“The HTBA Sale continually produces outstanding value for buyers who do the work and this year’s catalogue is arguably as strong as it’s ever been.’’
All yearlings offered at the HTBA Sale are eligible – at a discounted rate - for the $12m Inglis Race Series including the popular $5m Xtra Bonus Series, the $1m Pink Bonus and the $2m Inglis Millennium.
