This year's yearling sales series provided vendors of Darley-sired yearlings some incredible highlights.
Most notably for Vinery Stud who sold a $2.1 million Exceed And Excel colt (Lot 5) at Inglis Easter to Tony Fung, and 50-odd lots later followed that up with another million-dollar result, again for an Exceed And Excel colt (Lot 63) and again to Tony Fung, this time for $1.05 million.
Two Darley-sired lots accounting for 30 per cent of Vinery's Inglis Easter draft total.
Seven consignors' top result at Inglis Premier was achieved from the sale of a Darley-sired yearling, including:
