Toronado Colt Brings Down Curtain on Record Inglis Sale
Yearling was purchased for AU$400,000 March 2 in Melbourne.
This year's Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale has achieved its highest ever trade, surpassing the Victorian benchmark set in Melbourne in 2017, as the increased demand for bloodstock makes it four record Australian Thoroughbred auctions conducted in succession so far in 2021.
The new benchmark for the major Victorian auction was helped by the sale of the $1.1 million Written Tycoon colt, only the second seven-figure yearling traded at Oaklands Junction, and buyers' increased willingness to spend more on yearlings at the top-end of the market.
