Siblings to star sprinting three-year-olds Switzerland and Growing Empire headline a tighter Inglis Easter Yearling Sale in 2025, the catalogue for which has been released.

Inglis has revealed a 421-lot book for its prized sale, which will take place at the Riverside Sales Complex at Warwick Farm on April 6 and 7.

It is the smallest post-Covid Easter catalogue with Inglis confident it has pulled together a group of yearling that will see the sale build on its reputation for producing 'top-class racehorses'.

"Statistically, Easter is the sale most likely to produce buyers a top-class racehorse and that's what everybody is looking for,'' Inglis Bloodstock chief executive Sebastian Hutch said.

"The Easter Yearling Sale is the sale most likely to produce a Group 1 winner, more likely to produce a two-year-old Group winner and has comfortably the best Stakes winners/runners ratio than any of the Southern Hemisphere yearling sales.

"Year after year, it is the 'Best of the Best' – best breeders showcasing their best yearlings at the best venue in the world to offer horses."

Lot 76 is a colt by Snitzel out of Ms Bad Behaviour, which makes him a brother to last year's Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Switzerland, who sold for $1.5 million at Easter two years ago.

That Arrowfield Stud-prepared colt will go through around half-an-hour after Vinery Stud offers a sister to Growing Empire, a son of Zoustar and Miles Of Krishan who cost $700,000 at Easter 2023.

In addition to those banner lots, brothers to Militarize, Ozzmosis, Super Seth, Forbidden Love and Tofane will be offered, plus sisters to Wild Ruler and Climbing Star.

Half-siblings to Sunshine In Paris, She's Extreme, El Castello, Artorious, Autumn Angel, Jameka and Learning To Fly are among the other lots to be offered.

Youngsters out of Group 1 winners including Arcadia Queen, English, Hungry Heart, Mossfun, Personal, Shoals and Snitzerland will also be offered.

Snitzel is the most heavily-represented stallion in the catalogue with 45 lots – a tick over 10 percent of the entire catalogue – while established stars Zoustar (36) and I Am Invincible (32) also have strong books.

Boom first-season stallion Home Affairs, who had the $3.2m Magic Millions record-breaker earlier this month, has 28 lots to be offered, while Stay Inside, who also had good results on the Gold Coast, has 12 catalogued.

Buyers also have ample opportunity to snap up youngsters by popular shuttlers Too Darn Hot (18) and Wootton Basset (17), while there are 12 by champion UK stallion Frankel, two by American star Gun Runner and Sledmere Stud will offer a filly by Justify – his only lot in the sale.
