Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster said the barrier trial results highlighted the quality of youngsters set to go through the ring at next month's Inglis Ready2Race Sale.
"The Ready2Race Sale is the strongest catalogue ever offered in Australia for a sale of this type and that's something Inglis is very proud of,'' Webster said.
"There were some exceptionally talented youngsters go around at the barrier trials on Monday and I'd like to wish all of their owners and trainers all the best in their racing careers.
"We all know stallions come in and out of fashion. After Monday's trials, I'm delighted to say our catalogue is definitely in fashion!
"There has never been a better time to own a racehorse in this country, thanks largely to the Racing NSW prizemoney increases and the changes to the syndication laws, and the next chance everybody has to get involved in ownership is the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in two weeks.''
The Ready2Race Sale will be held at Inglis' Newmarket complex in Sydney on Tuesday October 4.
