As the dust settles from the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale this week there was a notable success story in the value sire sector of the market with our own Cosmic Force achieving 100% clearance with an average $105,909 off just an $11,000 fee.

Cosmic Force had an exceptionally good sale with 11 yearlings offered and all of them sold with seven of them selling for $100,000 or more.

A Group II winning son of Champion Hong Kong Sire Deep Field, Cosmic Force has just two crops racing and his first crop of now three year-olds has produced 24 winners from 42 runners headed by Group III winner Give Me Space and five more stakes-placed horses.

His Classic yearlings were a consistent group spread across a wide range of vendors with Toolooganvale Farm selling his highest priced yearling at $160,000 with Vandyke Bloodstock / High Calibre Racing / MR Racing / Mark Cook / RM Racing securing a colt from Piccaninny Lane.

Not far behind was a colt from Divine Stryke offered by Infinity Thoroughbreds that made $150,000 when purchased by Lindsay Park Racing / Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock.

Renowned New Zealand pinhookers Ohukia Lodge also bought a pair of colts by Cosmic Force paying $140,000 for a colt from Etheridge and $130,000 for a colt from Aghna in conjunction with Jim Carey.

Cosmic Force has been well supported right throughout his career to date and was popular again last year covering 126 mares again at the $11,000 fee.

He was second on the sire profitability table for Inglis Classic behind only Rich Hill Stud’s champion sire Proisir, who stood at a fee of $80,000 in 2024.
