Buying
In Australia
Discover The Best Bloodstock
Anyone participating in an Australian thoroughbred sale can have confidence in the product offered. Most major breeders in Australia sell their stock at public auction, giving buyers an opportunity to access the best families in the stud book. This is reflected in the number of Australian-bred Group One winners that were available to buy as yearlings, which is higher than other jurisdictions. There is also the chance to source quality breeding prospects. With top racehorses often owned by large groups, the best race fillies and mares often go to auction at the end of their track careers. Best of all, there are no restrictions on international buyers and anybody can become an owner in Australia.
Thoroughbred sales are conducted across Australia by two auction houses, Inglis and Magic Millions. The yearling sale season runs from January through to June, with 12 live sales, with weanlings and mares also offered in May and June. Additional online sales are held on a monthly basis, offering mixed catalogues.
