Easter Round Two - Supplementary Entries Added

Media Release - Friday April 17

Easter Round Two – the live auction scheduled for July 5 of yearlings originally passed in at Easter One and those targeted specifically at the sale – will also now be open to select supplementary entries.

Supplementary applications will close at 5pm on Thursday April 30th.

Entry fee will be $1500+GST and modified commission terms will apply.

There will be no pass-in commission charged at the sale.

As previously announced, Inglis intends to hold Easter Round Two as a physical sale at Riverside Stables on Sunday July 5, but that will be dependent on any restrictions still in place in respect of COVID-19.

Should it not be possible to conduct the auction as a physical sale, Easter Round Two will be in the format of a virtual auction with online and telephone bidding, the same format as Easter Round One.

“We want to try and give every vendor the optimum opportunity to sell their horses where practicable and given there has been significant interest in adding additional select entries to the sale on July 5th from vendors, it seems an appropriate step to take to facilitate suitable yearlings,’’ Inglis General Manager of Bloodstock Sales and Marketing Sebastian Hutch said.

“There have been many enquiries in relation to all of our upcoming sales – The Chairman’s Sale, The Australian Broodmare Sale, Easter Round Two, The Australian Weanling Sale, The Melbourne Gold Sale, the Great Southern Sale and the Scone Yearling Sale - and every effort is being made to appropriately facilitate the needs of vendors, suppliers and buyers in a pragmatic manner.

“As previously advised, the intention is to re-evaluate the situation at the end of April and consider any further developments that may be necessary at that stage.

“The patience and understanding of all participants is appreciated at this time.’’

To request an entry into Easter Round Two, please contact a member of the Inglis Bloodstock Team or email Wayne Massingham at wayne.massingham@inglis.com.au.
