What is Inglis?
Inglis is an Australian bloodstock auction house — a company that runs sales of thoroughbred racehorses and breeding stock, and increasingly also sells horses online.
Its core business is auctions: sales calendar listings, catalogues, veterinary reports, sale results, entry forms and buyer information. Alongside the physical sales at its Riverside (Sydney) and Oaklands (Melbourne) complexes, it runs Inglis Digital for online sales and online bidding for conventional auctions, plus related services such as insurance, travel, syndications and property.
Who uses it, and for what
- Buyers (owners, trainers, syndicators, bloodstock agents): browse catalogues, check veterinary and X-ray reports, bid in person or online, and look up past sale results to gauge prices.
- Sellers/breeders: enter horses in a sale, submit entries online, and use results data to decide which sale and timing suits a horse.
- Racing fans and participants: follow Inglis TV, newsroom content, race series and bonus schemes tied to Inglis-graduated horses.
A practical example
If you are looking for a racehorse rather than a yearling prospect, the online sales route is usually the lower-friction option: you can review the catalogue and veterinary material remotely, register for online bidding, and bid without travelling to a complex. If you are buying at a major physical sale, plan to attend inspections in person, since conformation and temperament are hard to judge from a page.
Next step
Decide which side of the market you are on. Buyers should start with the sales calendar and buyer information, then register for online bidding if they cannot attend. Sellers should check entry deadlines and sale entry forms before requesting a veterinary examination. For background on the auction sector more broadly, the official sites of Inglis and Bloodstock.com.au are useful starting points.
How do I register and bid in an Inglis online auction?
Registration and bidding happen through the Inglis Online portal, reached from the Inglis website. The process is broadly: create an account, get approved, then bid on lots in a scheduled online sale.
Registering
- Go to the Inglis Online section and choose Register.
- Complete the account details and any buyer/identity information requested.
- Submit the required buyer information (linked from the site as Buyer Information) so your account can be approved for bidding.
- Log in once approved. You can then build a shortlist using Catalogue and Favourites.
Bidding
- Online sales run to a published schedule, so check the Sales Calendar and the specific online sale page for opening and closing times before you commit.
- Bidding is done through the Online Bidding area while logged in.
- Before bidding, review the lot's Veterinary Reports and X-Ray Repository where available, and read the Conditions of Sale and Code of Conduct — these set out your obligations as a buyer, including payment terms.
- If you win, payment is handled through the site's Pay Online facility.
Practical next step
If you are new to auctions, register well before a sale closes rather than on the day. Approval and any buyer checks take time, and you do not want to be locked out of bidding on a lot you have already inspected.
A realistic scenario: you spot a broodmare or yearling in an upcoming Inglis Digital sale, request the veterinary report, decide your limit, and place a bid in the final hours. Because online sales often attract late bidding, set your maximum in advance and treat the closing time as firm.
Quick comparison
| Stage | What you need | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Register | Account details, buyer information | Bidding is restricted to approved accounts |
| Prepare | Catalogue, Favourites, vet reports, X-rays | Lets you inspect before committing |
| Bid | Online Bidding, logged in | Bids are binding under the Conditions of Sale |
| Settle | Pay Online | Completing payment transfers the lot |
For anything unclear — approval timing, bidding increments, or payment — contact Inglis directly via the Contact Us details on the site rather than relying on general auction assumptions.
What fees and payment options apply when buying a horse through Inglis?
Inglis doesn't publish a single, universal fee schedule on its homepage. Instead, costs and payment methods depend on which sale channel you use — physical auctions versus Inglis Digital online sales — and are set out in the sale-specific Conditions of Sale and buyer information pages.
Where to look for the numbers
- Conditions of Sale — the governing document for each auction; buyer's premium, GST treatment and payment deadlines live here.
- Buyer Information — practical guidance on registering, bidding and settling.
- Online Bidding / Inglis Online — rules specific to digital sales, which can differ from ring auctions.
- Pay Online — Inglis provides an online payment route for settling accounts.
Typical cost components (confirm against the current Conditions of Sale)
- Hammer price
- Buyer's premium (a percentage on top of the bid)
- GST, where applicable
- Transport, agistment and insurance after the fall of the hammer
- Veterinary and x-ray costs if you commission your own
Payment options Inglis lists online payment and Eftsure information, alongside traditional settlement through its accounts process. Eftsure is a payment-verification service — worth noting, because auction payments are a common target for invoice-fraud attempts, so always verify bank details through Inglis directly rather than from an emailed invoice.
Practical next step Before bidding, register as a buyer, then read the Conditions of Sale for that specific sale and confirm the premium and settlement deadline in writing with the Inglis accounts team. For digital sales, check the online bidding terms separately, since deposit and payment timing often differs from a physical auction.
For broader market context and catalogue research, Bloodstock.com.au is a useful companion resource.
How can I enter my horse in an Inglis sale and what are the entry requirements?
Enter your horse through Inglis's sale-entry process: use the Online Sale Entry link on the Inglis site, or contact the relevant Inglis sales team directly for the physical sales at Riverside (Sydney) and Oaklands (Melbourne). Entry is not automatic — you submit the horse, Inglis assesses it against the sale's criteria, and you're offered a lot if accepted.
What the site itself provides
- Online Sale Entry and Sales Calendar — the calendar tells you which sale (and which closing date) you're targeting.
- Sale Entry Forms — the formal paperwork, typically with owner, vendor, pedigree, veterinary and reserve details.
- Veterinary Reports and an X-Ray Repository — relevant because most Inglis sales require recent veterinary and radiographic information lodged through the repository.
- Conditions of Sale and Code of Conduct — the contractual and conduct rules that bind vendors and buyers.
- Buyer Information / Online Bidding / Inglis Online — the mirror image of what you're doing as a seller.
- Pay Online and Eftsure Information — for paying entry fees and settling proceeds.
Practical entry requirements to expect
The exact requirements vary by sale (yearling, weanling, broodmare, racehorse, mixed, digital), so confirm against the specific sale's page. In general you will need:
- Correct ownership and authority to sell — registered ownership, syndicate or partnership consent, and any lease or racing-eligibility clearances.
- Completed entry form and fees — submitted before the sale's closing date; late entries are usually declined or surcharged.
- Identity, pedigree and branding/identification details — registration papers, microchip/brand, sire and dam, and for thoroughbreds the relevant stud book registration.
- Veterinary and X-ray material — lodged to the repository by the deadline, usually at the vendor's cost.
- Reserve price — set with the Inglis bloodstock representative, and often revisable only within a window.
- Compliance with Conditions of Sale and Code of Conduct — including disclosure obligations and post-sale obligations.
Choosing the right sale
| If your horse is… | Likely route | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| A yearling by a commercial sire | Premier/select yearling sale | Highest ceiling, highest preparation cost, strictest selection |
| A racehorse in work, or a share | Inglis Digital online sale | Fast, low-cost, transparent, but typically a narrower buyer pool |
| A broodmare, weanling or mixed stock | Mixed/specialty sale | Broader audience, prices vary widely by catalogue strength |
| A horse unlikely to pass selection | Inglis Digital or private sale | Lower fees and less preparation, but less exposure |
Next step: open the Sales Calendar, pick the sale whose closing date you can realistically meet, then submit the Online Sale Entry and confirm the veterinary/repository deadline with the Inglis bloodstock team before you commit to preparation costs. For broader market context, Bloodstock.com.au carries Australian sales and stallion coverage.
What do the veterinary reports and X-ray repository include for Inglis lots?
Inglis treats veterinary disclosure as part of the sales catalogue rather than an optional extra. The Veterinary Reports section and the X-Ray Repository are separate areas of the site, and both are tied to individual lots: you look up the lot, then read the relevant documents. The repository is where radiographs (X-rays) taken for sale lots are stored, while the veterinary reports area carries the clinical and inspection information that accompanies a sale entry.
In practice, that means a buyer's due diligence on a lot usually involves:
- Checking the lot's veterinary report for scope, findings and any recorded issues.
- Viewing the X-rays lodged for that lot, often alongside a repository entry for the same horse.
- Cross-referencing the Conditions of Sale, which govern how disclosed conditions affect the sale.
- Using the Online Bidding and Catalogue tools to save lots and favourites before inspection.
For a first-time buyer, the sensible next step is to open the Sales Calendar, pick the relevant sale, then open a specific lot and look for the veterinary and X-ray links. If you are bidding remotely, decide in advance which findings you will accept and which will make you pass, and have a vet review the images rather than interpreting them yourself.
The trade-off is transparency versus volume: Inglis publishes a lot of material, but reading it properly takes time, and repository images are not a substitute for your own veterinarian's opinion. Inglis also offers related services such as insurance and travel through Inglis, which can matter once you have bought.
How does the Inglis Race Series work for graduates and owners?
The Inglis Race Series is a set of bonus and race programs tied to horses sold by Inglis, with separate tracks for graduates of different sales years and for two-year-olds bought through specific sales. For owners, the practical value is eligibility: if your horse qualifies, you can target nominated races and bonus pools that other horses cannot enter.
What the page evidence shows
Inglis lists these race series pages:
- Inglis Race Series, with graduate lists for 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023
- Pink Bonus Series
- Xtra Bonus Series
- Inglis Triple Crown Race Series
The graduate lists matter because a horse's sale year determines which series edition it belongs to. The Pink and Xtra bonuses are the kind of add-on schemes that typically reward eligible horses running in designated races, often restricted to fillies or specific sale categories. The Triple Crown is a defined sequence of races with its own conditions.
How owners use it
- Check your horse's sale receipt and the relevant graduate list for its year.
- Read the series conditions for nomination deadlines, race eligibility and any registration steps.
- Use the sales calendar and race series pages together to plan a campaign around bonus races rather than discovering them after entries close.
- Confirm ownership and syndicate details are correctly recorded, because bonus payments usually follow the registered owner.
Trade-offs and limits
Series bonuses are most valuable to owners who can plan a campaign around the nominated races. If your horse is better suited to a different distance or surface, chasing a bonus race can be a poor fit. The page evidence also does not spell out bonus amounts, eligibility rules or nomination fees, so read the current conditions of sale and series terms before committing.
Next step
Open the Inglis Race Series pages and find your horse's sale year. If it is not listed, check the Pink Bonus, Xtra Bonus and Triple Crown pages, then confirm the current conditions with Inglis before you nominate. For background on the auction house itself, see Inglis.
