The Great Southern Sale has proven beneficial on multiple fronts for buyers in recent years.

To start, it has proven a happy hunting ground for those looking to find top-class racehorses of the future, with recent graduates including Montefilia, Behemoth, Sopressa, Extra Brut, Douceur, Gytrash, On The Bubbles, Lunar Fox etc.

For pinhookers, the sale has been the starting point of many lucrative trades – out of the 2021 sale alone came some outstanding pinhook results like $360,000 into $900,000, $200,000 into $500,000, $75,000 into $250,000, $25,000 into $200,000 etc.
