China Horse Owners Alliance named new Inglis China Representative

Media Release - Wednesday September 17

Inglis is thrilled to announce the China Horse Owners Alliance (CHOA) as the company’s new China Representative.

CHOA - which includes almost 90% of all China-based horse owners - has been in operation for 10 years and its primary role with Inglis will be to increase participation of Chinese owners at all sales, including Inglis Digital.

Inglis Ready 2 Race sale-topper in 2024 was Signature Scent.

The Alliance’s General Secretary Mr Huang Qingcai said it was “an honour’’ to be entrusted by Inglis with this position.

“Inglis is a highly trusted and revered Company that has been around for more than 150 years, so to be formally associated with them is a big compliment to the CHOA,’’ Mr Huang said.

“Our team is gathering most horse owners in China so I think we can help Inglis considerably to increase Chinese buyer participation at their sales moving forward.

“We look forward to working with the Inglis team as we continue to build a strong relationship together.’’

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch was thrilled the CHOA had agreed to join Inglis as its China Representative.

“We believe that the Chinese market has great growth potential, so to have the opportunity to formalise an association with the CHOA is a significant moment for our Company,’’ Hutch said.

“We have great respect for Mr Zhang, Mr Huang and the entire Alliance and what they have achieved already and look forward to working with them to grow participation in horse racing in China.

“Inglis International Business Development Manager Nicky Wong and Inglis Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price last weekend attended the Yulong Sale and the major Yulong race day at Youyu in China and were very impressed by what they saw, as well as the interest expressed by people they met with being more engaged with the Australian bloodstock market.”

Nicky Wong noted that the new association was a natural progression as part of the development of Inglis’ growing international network.

“Inglis has long had a fantastic relationship with Mr Zhang and Mr Huang, so it was easy to work with them to come to this mutually beneficial arrangement,” he said.

“We have had particularly strong international engagement with our sales through 2025, but this is something that we are looking to continue to grow into the future and we see strengthening our relationships with China-based horse owners as an important part of that.”

The Inglis/CHOA partnership will begin ahead of the Inglis Ready2Race Sale, which will be held at Riverside Stables in Sydney on Thursday October 16, two days before the $20m G1 The Everest.
