Sale Overview

A total of 107 yearlings are catalogued in the 2024 Gold Yearling Sale which will be held at Oaklands on Sunday April 21.

The Gold Sale averages around just $15,000, yet consistently proves more than capable of producing high-class racehorses that go on and win significant prizemoney.

Such is the value available at the Gold Sale, recent G1-winning graduates such as Lunar Fox, Savatoxl, Media Award and Malaguerra could have been sourced there for a combined $85,000 – they have won more than $4.5m between them.

Other money-spinners to graduate from the sale include the likes of Papillon Club – a $70,000 purchase who has won almost $400,000 already – Express Pass, a winner of over $530,000 having been bought for just $38,000, La Falaise, a G2 winner of over $255,000 bought for just $5000, Free To Move, who has won over $367,000 having been picked up for $8000 and, most famously, Mahamedeis, a winner of over $1.2m having been bought for just $24,000.

Just 12 months ago, NSW trainer David Payne, bidding online, purchased a filly by D’Argento for just $15,000. That filly, now named Rag Queen, won on debut in January before a fast-finishing third in the $2m Inglis Millennium at just her second start, marking herself one of the most exciting fillies of her generation.

All yearlings are eligible for the $12.55m Inglis Race Series which includes the $2m Inglis Millennium, the $1m Inglis Sprint, the $5m Inglis Xtra Bonus and the world’s leading female ownership incentive, the $1m Inglis Pink Bonus.

Graduates are also eligible for the popular $200,000 Inglis Challenge, run over 1100m for 2YOs on Scone Cup Day.
