“KISS OF DEATH” Yearlings $800k and over at the Inglis Easter sale: PDF of full data on the website: progenyconsulting.net Audio clip of this mornings interview with @m_felgate - “THE VERDICT” in the comments section: Here is some “eye watering” data on INGLIS EASTER [considered the doyen of class horses at Australian Yearling sales]. Very clear summary of the previous 4 years Inglis sales: 2024 [now 3yo] 2023 [now 4yo] 2022 [now 5yo] 2021 [now 6yo] Of the 155 collective horses sold “over $800k” - only 10 earned race revenue higher than their puchase price ➡️ 4 of these 10 earnings were in Hong Kong. 131 of these 155 horses have not earned above 25% of their purchase cost and more damning is 104 of the 155 have not earned more than 10% of their purchase cost. Current 3yo’s [sale of 24’] - Zero horses of 30, or 100% have earned less than 25% of their purchase cost. - these are now 3yo’s and beeen through their two years of opportunity to earn $’s in over priced races. I do not summarise the 2yo crop [25’ sale - not shown in report], until,the end of the racing year in July….. however: I can advise you there were 30 yearlings sold over $800k on 25’ and of these, only 1 x 2yo has earned black type status being Hidrix [cost $1.7 million, earned $215k so far]. Further damning on the preponderant buyers that swagger around the sales ring thinking they are the industry icons - paying “highest dollars - presumably with a view to achieve big $ returns in 2yo races - “read this” 10 yearlings [now 2yo] sold over $1.5million each at the 25’ Inglis Easter sale - 9 of them have not started in a race !!!! The aforementioned Hidrix is the only one of the top 10 [sorted by dollars] to have a race start.

Brisbane wins a premiership with two key forwards on a combined $400,000 for 2025. Just extraordinary #AFLGF

✍️ “Premiership teams are not built overnight” ⏪ 2022 “off-season”. Hawthorn had just finished 13th after winning only 8 games. The coach and his list management team knew big change was required for the Hawk’s to start challenging for their next 🏆 Some huge decisions were made. 2022 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: Tom Mitchell, Jaeger O’Meara, Jack Gunston. #27, #52, #54, #56, F2 & F3 In: Karl Amon (free agent), Lloyd Meek, Cooper Stephens, #18, #37, #46, #51, F3 At the time, Sam Mitchell was accused by some in the media of “tanking” & “cutting the list too deep”. The coach was smart. He knew patience was required. He openly explained his strategy, taking supporters on the journey. "This is about building our next phase of talent. "I have no interest (and I know the players feel the same), to just sneak into the finals. Internally we are working on building premiership standards because only then can we become a premiership team. "Premiership teams are not built overnight, we want to be in a position where we are competing to win it all when our time comes - whenever that may be." Draft: Pick 7- Cam Mackenzie Pick 18- Josh Weddle Pick 37- Henry Hustwaite Pick 46- Jack O’Sullivan Pick 51- Bailey MacDonald ⏩ 2023 season. Hawthorn finished 16th after winning just 7 games. During the season they beat both Brisbane & Collingwood who went on to play in the Grand Final. They were also competitive against other top 8 sides. The signs were there. Another big off-season arrived. 2023 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: Tyler Brockman, Jacob Koschitzke, Brandon Ryan, #37, #38, #50, #54,#65 In: Jack Ginnivan, Mabior Chol, Massimo D’Ambrosio, Jack Gunston, #56, 2 x F2 & F4 Draft: Pick 5- Nick Watson Pick 19- Will McCabe (F/S) Pick 46- Bodie Ryan Pick 56- Calsher Dear (F/S) ⏩ 2024 season: The on-field results came. The Hawks won 14 games & finished 7th. They would go on to win an Elimination Final and just miss out on making a Preliminary Final. The coach still wasn’t satisfied. It would once again be another huge off-season for the Hawks. 2024 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: #17, F1, F2, F3 In: Tom Barrass, Josh Battle, F1,F2 & F4 Draft: Pick 35 - Noah Mraz Pick 64 - Cody Anderson ⏩ 2025 season: Hawthorn won 15 games and finished 8th. They are now into a Preliminary Final having won 2 x interstate finals. The majority of their recruits from the trade and free agency periods since 2022 have played a crucial role as have some of the draftees. Whatever happens over the coming week’s, Sam Mitchell and his list management team deserve a lot of credit for sticking with their strategy and for continuing to be ruthless. Hawthorn may not win the 🏆 this season but their time will arrive soon. The Hawk’s will be challenging for 🏆’s in the years to come. @HawksInsiders
