At the end of Day 1 of the sale, the average sat at $16,601 with a median of $10,000, clearance rate of 82% and gross of $2,639,500.
Leading buyer was Laming Racing, buying five horses for $130,000.
Glenn and Cody Morgan also bought five horses.
Nicconi topped the sire stats, with all three of his progeny selling for a total of $195,000.
Inglis’ General Manager of Bloodstock Jonathan D’Arcy was pleased with the day’s proceedings.
“The top end of the market was very good and to sell three horses for $100,000 or more was a great result for our vendors,’’ D’Arcy said.
“Throughout the year we’ve seen the market being selective in the middle-to-lower end and that was similar today.
“The well-presented yearlings with commercial pedigrees exceeded their reserves on many occasions and the clearance rate of 82% was a fair indication that the majority of breeders were prepared to meet the market.’’
Action at White Park continues tomorrow with a further 90 Lots in the HTBA Scone Yearling Sale, followed by the Scone Weanling & Thoroughbred Sale, for which a further 62 Lots have been catalogued.
