Selecting the ideal yearling at the 2025 Ladbrokes Sunshine Stars Yearling Sale, set down for the 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0of February \u00a0(the biggest and best option in the north in 2025) requires thorough preparation and a keen eye for detail. Here are key steps to guide your selection process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Study the Catalogue:<\/strong>\u00a0Begin by reviewing the sale catalogue, which provides essential information on each yearling’s pedigree, conformation, and other pertinent details. The 2025 Sunshine Stars Yearling Sale Catalogue is available online through the Nutrien Equine Portal\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/portal.nutrienequine.com.au\/catalogues\/93<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Assess Pedigree:<\/strong>\u00a0A yearling’s pedigree offers insights into its potential performance. Examine the successful patterns of high achieving ancestors, focusing on traits such as speed, stamina, and temperament. Understanding bloodlines can help predict racing capabilities.\u00a0The\u00a0best percentage play is to stick to the\u00a0yearlings sired by renowned stallions such as American Ideal, Art Major, Bettors Delight, Bettors Wish, Captaintreacherous, Downbytheseaside, Stay Hungry, and Sweet Lou.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Evaluate Conformation:<\/strong>\u00a0Physical conformation is crucial in determining a horse’s suitability for racing. Look for a balanced build, straight legs, and a strong back. Observing the yearling’s movement can also provide clues about its athletic potential.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Observe Temperament:<\/strong>\u00a0A calm and cooperative demeanour is beneficial in racehorses. Spend time watching the yearling’s behaviour in various settings to assess its temperament and how it handles stress.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. \u00a0Rank the stud farms based on race track performance:<\/strong>\u00a0Before finalising your selections, make sure the stud farm has a track record of producing horses that have the ability to win major races; ie. Has that stud produced Group 1 & sale race champions ? This examination of the studs can reveal where the next major winners will come from. Great example\u00a0Baring Bloodstock<\/strong>, the farm that totally dominated the $156,000 sale race in 2024, with the winner and first 6 of 7 horse across the line, will be a great starting point.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Set a Budget:<\/strong>\u00a0Determine your budget in advance and be mindful of it during the auction. Keep in mind that yearlings with exceptional pedigrees or conformation may command higher prices and its always prudent to \u201cBuy<\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0one you want<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0not the one<\/strong>\u00a0you’re\u00a0left<\/strong>\u00a0with!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. Take Action :<\/strong>\u00a0As Roy T Benett said \u201cYou need to have faith in yourself. Be brave and take risks. You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward.\u00a0Lucrative Race Series Eligibility: All Qbred horses presented at the sale are eligible for multiple high-stakes race series, including:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A well-bred yearling is like a blank canvas of possibility, to think this crop of Qbred yearlings will be able to compete for<\/p>\n

                Group 1 Triad Series for 2YOs\u00a0<\/strong>for each\u00a0<\/strong>sex\u00a0\u00a0$150,000 and $153,000\u00a0<\/strong>for each sex 3Y0s.<\/p>\n
