William Inglis & Son: A Tradition of Thoroughbred Excellence


Here at Australian Bloodstock, we're constantly searching for the next champion, the horse that will give its all on the track and create lasting memories for our owners. Our quest for equine athletes takes us to the premier sales venues in the world, and none holds a more esteemed place in our calendar than the sales conducted by William Inglis & Son.


With a history stretching back to 1867, the Inglis name is synonymous with quality thoroughbreds in Australia. What began as a family-owned business selling livestock and farm goods has evolved into the nation's leading bloodstock auctioneer. From their historic Newmarket complex in Sydney to the state-of-the-art Riverside Stables, the Inglis sales ring has been the theatre where dreams are made for generations of buyers and sellers.


For us, attending an Inglis sale is more than just a business trip; it's an immersion in the heart of the Australian racing industry. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation, a unique blend of seasoned horsemen, eager newcomers, and international investors all vying for a chance to secure a future champion. The Inglis team are true professionals, their expertise and passion for the thoroughbred evident in every aspect of their sales.


The Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, in particular, is a highlight of the global bloodstock calendar. It's where the finest yearlings in the Southern Hemisphere are presented, and the honour roll of champions that have graduated from this sale is a testament to its prestige. While the prices for these blue-blooded youngsters can be breathtaking, the potential rewards are immeasurable.


Over the years, we've had our share of success at Inglis, and each time we return, we're filled with the same excitement and hope. It's a place where a keen eye and a bit of luck can unearth a diamond in the rough, a horse that will go on to achieve greatness on the racetrack. The thrill of finding that special horse, the one with the spirit and athleticism to be a winner, is what drives us.


William Inglis & Son is more than just an auction house; it is a cornerstone of the Australian thoroughbred industry. Their commitment to quality and their ability to bring together the best of the best make their sales an unmissable event for any serious player in the world of horse racing. We're proud to be a part of their story and look forward to what the future holds as we continue our search for the next champion within the hallowed grounds of Inglis.
