The sale comprising weanlings, mares and breeding stock and yearlings attracted 1889 lots last year.

The sale will commence on May 26 with the first of 10 action packed days of selling through to June 8.

“We have large and quality drafts from all of the leading farms around Australia and the quality across all levels of the sale is outstanding,” Magic Millions Managing Director David Chester said today.

“While the numbers are up for all sections of the sale – the quality is again first class and there is really something for everyone.”

“The catalogues are heading to the printers as we speak and will be available for viewing online soon – they are certainly catalogues we are proud of.”

Chester said the make up of the catalogue was as follows:

• 640 lots – National Weanling Sale (628 last year)
• 900 lots – National Broodmare Sale (759 last year)
• 550 lots – National Yearling Sale (502 last year)
