Both the Perth Sales Classics and the APG Gold Bullion Series will offer separate divisions for colts & fillies.
The Perth Sales Classics will be scheduled for early in the season (late-February to coincide with APG's Perth Sales Weekend),Weekend), whilst the APG Gold Bullion Series will be scheduled for later in the season, making it an ideal target for later maturing horses.

5. Yearling Parade this Sunday
A number of Perth vendors are conducting yearling parades at their respective properties this Sunday (23 February), providing potential buyers with an excellent opportunity to watch the yearlings parade in their natural environment and narrow down their short-lists for further inspection on sales day.
Steve Johnson (2pm), Copper Lodge (Mike Howie - 2:40pm), Karnup Racing (Trevor & Collen Lindsay - 3:20pm) and KTC Bloodstock (Kevin, Annette & Kody Charles - 4pm) will all be parading their yearlings, and all are located within a short drive of each other.
The parade is always well attended, and there'll be plenty of refreshments available, including a complimentary BBQ at the conclusion of the KTC Bloodstock's parade, so we encourage everyone to make the effort to support the parades on what is sure to be an enjoyable afternoon.
