Inglis 2018 Sale Dates revealed

27th Apr 2017

Inglis can today confirm its 2018 Sale dates, which feature an expanded Classic Yearling Sale, a revamped Easter Yearling Sale, the retention of the highly successful Chairman’s Sale (Sessions I and II) and more monthly online auctions.

The changes reflect the opportunity to grow catalogues and minimise gaps between sales with the extra stabling at Riverside Stables.

The select sales season begins with a four-day Classic Sale from Saturday February 10 – one day longer than 2017 - which kicks off proceedings at the new $140m Riverside Stables facility at Warwick Farm.

Classic will have two books as we currently have at Premier and Easter. Book 1 will have approximately 600 Lots and Book 2 will have around 200 Lots.

The Premier Yearling Sale follows – from March 4-7 – at Oaklands in Melbourne, a week later than previous years, to allow buyers and vendors more time to prepare.

The early March time slot for Premier coincides with Group 1 racing at Flemington and provides even spacing between all three major yearling sales conducted by Inglis, one at the start of February, March and April.

It’s then back to Sydney for a blockbuster fortnight of action; Chairman’s Sale – Racing Prospects, Australian Easter Yearling Sale, Chairman’s Sale – Breeding Prospects and Australian Broodmare & Weanling Sale.

The 2018 Easter Yearling Sale will run from Monday-Wednesday, April 9-11 after The Championships Day 1.

Racing on that Wednesday will be at Warwick Farm which will be most convenient.

To assist vendors and all our clients in securing accommodation within close proximity to Riverside Stables, Inglis has appointed Cian Voets form Travel Edge as a liaison officer who will work closely with all interested parties to make the task as easy and seamless as possible.

Cian is available for any enquires and to help with or make accommodation bookings, be it a hotel, apartment, house or anything else that suits.

Cian is contactable between 8.30am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday at travel@inglis.com.au or +61 2 9080 1769

Inglis has made block bookings at the Mercure Liverpool, The Holiday Inn and Quest Liverpool for initial assistance, and continue to work with other nearby accommodation providers.

There is of course the new The William Inglis Hotel under construction, which will be available for bookings soon. Priority for rooms at The William Inglis Hotel will be for buyers and principals/managers of stud farms attending each sale.
