Black Caviar’s yearling half-sister sold for the record-equaling price of $2.6 million (Australian) Wednesday as the Inglis sale company’s important Australian Easter yearling sale completed its second of three sessions with a gain in average and a level median.BC3 Thoroughbreds bought the filly, a Redoute’s Choice daughter of Helsinge, by Desert Sun. The seller was Gilgai Farm. The price, equivalent to about $2,680,105 in United States dollars, equaled the previous record for an Australian filly at auction, set in 2006 when Coolmore paid $2.6 million Australian for Perfect Persuasion at the Inglis Easter yearling sale. That Encosta de Lago filly, a full sister to dual Australian champion filly Alinghi, went on to be stakes-placed.At Tuesday’s opener, Coolmore paid a session-topping $1 million Australian, or about $1,030,000 U.S., for a Fastnet Rock colt out of Tale of the Cat’s stakes-winning daughter Catreign. Through the sale’s second day, that was the auction’s second-highest price and highest figure for a colt. Newgate Farm was the seller.Wednesday’s session sold 120 of 190 yearlings offered for a total of about $29,488,900, down 3 percent from last year’s gross for 129 horses at the equivalent session. But the average price gained 4 percent to end at about $245,740. The median was the same as at last year’s second day, about $185,400. But buy-backs rose from 20 percent to 25 percent. There were 29 outs at the session, as compared with 18 at last year’s second session.The auction was to end Thursday with a two-part final session at the Inglis Newmarket sale complex in Sydney.
