With a significant draft of 33 yearlings set to sell at this year’s Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Blue Gum Farm’s tried and tested path of supporting their local sale continues to pay dividends with a host of stakes-winning graduates off the farm as well as numerous Leading Vendor titles over the years.
“As has been the status for Blue Gum Farm since its inception, the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale has always been our main sale,” stated Sean Dingwall.
“We always take an exceptional group of yearlings to the sale, and this year is no different with plenty of stallion variation and siblings to recent stakes horses.
“We are thrilled with the draft, and our recent yearling parades on the farm have shown that the draft has been very well received.”
