Tron Bolt's sire Toronado (IRE) will play a pivotal role with 15 colts and geldings entered.

Tron Bolt was a show-stopper last year when selling for $900,000.

Breeze ups will be held at Warwick Farm (Sept 25), Taupo (Sept 28) and Wangaratta (Sept 29) ahead of the sale and vision of the breezes will be uploaded to the Inglis website and iPad app within 48 hours of each session.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch is excited for the sale.

“This sale has real momentum and the catalogue is fantastic,” Hutch said.

“We have been working with vendors for years to build the profile of this sale and the performance of graduates, over the past 12 months in particularly, has been hugely encouraging.

“The Inglis Ready2Race Sale is definitively the best 2YO sale in Australia but the objective is for it to become the best 2YO sale in Australasia and this catalogue is a huge step towards that.

“The majority of the catalogue has been sourced at auctions across Australasia specifically for this sale and I know that our vendors as a group are very bullish about the quality of horse that is being presented for the sale.

“We are fortunate to have the best consignors supporting this sale again this year, people who are experts in the education and development of young racehorses and that is reflected in the success of graduates in recent years and in the quality of the horses that people will see on the breeze up days and at the sale itself. 

“Buyers were encouraged to participate in this sale last year with a commitment that high-class racehorses would emerge from it and I’m confident that buyers will find even more high-quality stock at the sale this year.

“October is a hugely exciting time to be in Sydney, with this sale occurring just two days before the running of the $20m G1 The Everest.’’

All horses offered at the sale are eligible for the lucrative Inglis Race Series which includes both the $5m Xtra Bonus Series and the $1m Pink Bonus Series.
