Company Overview

Inglis was established in 1867 by William Inglis, and the family have remained instrumental in it’s operation ever since it’s inception. The company was founded on the basic principles of honesty and integrity, its great success and longevity attributed directly to these simple but all-important ideals.

Managing Director Mark Webster brings an extensive knowledge of print and digital media to the firm, having held a senior position with News Limited for eight years.

What we do:

Inglis stages a busy schedule of thoroughbred auctions during the year, covering all aspects of the breeding and racing industry, from weanlings and yearlings, through to broodmares, stallions and tried racehorses.

The Australian Easter Yearling Sale, conducted at Newmarket every Easter, is the flagship event on the Inglis calendar, attracting the finest young thoroughbreds in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as buyers from all over Australia and throughout the world. It is the barometer for all thoroughbred interests in Australasia and has become an integral part of the Australian horse racing culture.

While Easter is undeniably the high point of the year for Inglis, it is just the high-profile elite end of the market. The Inglis Yearling Sale Series comprises five (Easter, Premier, Classic, Autumn and Scone) specific yearling sales designed to cater to every level of the bloodstock industry in Australasia.

Newmarket in Sydney plays host to the Easter and Classic Sales, while Oaklands, the Victorian base of Inglis, stages the Premier and Autumn Yearling Sales. The Scone Yearling Sale conducted in May is the most successful country sale in Australia.

William Inglis & Son is a company steeped in tradition and history, but while a fruitful past offers much to reflect upon, it is the future with which we must concern ourselves.

The internet has become an integral marketing tool for William Inglis & Son Ltd and we have worked towards establishing a first-rate website offering a wide-range of information covering all aspects of our business.

Pedigrees and indices for all upcoming sales are posted on the website as soon as catalogues have gone to print. On sale day, our Sale Monitor provided automatically updated results as they happen, as well as end-of-sale statistics and press releases.
