Bombora Downs has had a busy time at the 2017 Inglis Melbourne Yearling Sales, hitting some new highs.
At the Premier Sale, we presented 6 lots, 5 colts and a filly. 
The highest priced lot was a bay colt by Written Tycoon from the Spartacus mare, Hot Spa. The Written Tycoons were in demand again, and our boy had the looks to impress, proving very popular during parade times. He sold to Aquis / Blue Sky Bloodstock Pty Ltd for $350,000, an excellent result for our vendor.

Now that the sales are over, no feet up and sitting by the fire. Over the coming months, weaning needs to be done with the handling of our future champions to be completed. While the yearlings, will need to be broken in.
And of course, the upcoming breeding season will be on us all too soon.
