It’s official – the 2021 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale was the biggest and best on record.
Following an extraordinary three days of trade at Riverside, the action ended Wednesday night with a record overall gross (A$58,136,000), record Book 1 average (A$102,421), record Book 1 medium (A$80,000) and a spectacular 91% clearance rate.
The gross, average and median records all eclipse the previous standards set at the 2018 Classic, which doubled as the much-hyped opening sale at Riverside.
Tuesday’s Highway Session was also a resounding a success, clearing 88% at an average of A$48,736 with 14 lots selling for A$100,000 or more.
Below are the Statistics – Book 1 (2020 Figures in Brackets):
- Lots catalogued: 620 (613)
- Lots Sold: 501 (484)
- Clearance Rate: 91% (86%)
