INGLIS MELBOURNE PREMIER ON TVN THIS SUNDAY

27th Feb 2008

 <p>William Inglis &amp; Son Limited are delighted to have national broadcaster ThoroughVision (TVN) covering the opening day of the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale this Sunday March 2.</p></strong>

Caroline Searcy, Bruce Clark and pedigree analyst Jane Henning will provide commentary on each lot live from the Oakland's Junction complex as they are being offered as well as conducting interviews with industry identities throughout the sale.

"We are delighted to partner with TVN to bring this coverage of our sales to a national audience. Their coverage is synonymous with quality which makes it a great fit for us." says Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster.

TVN will also cover the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sales (Part 1 April 20-22 and Part 2 April 24) live from Inglis' Newmarket complex in Sydney as well as the Weanling New Sire Showcase held on the eve of The Australian Weanling & Breeding Stock Sale (June 26-30), in what is an industry first for Australia.

TVN is recognised globally for its quality coverage of racing and it also numbers the highly popular bloodstock breeding ‘Thoroughbreds' programme, now sponsored by Inglis.

“It's important for us to present the sale to as many people as possible and TVN is a natural choice,” Webster continued. “While we are looking forward to welcoming a large crowd out to Oaklands Junction on Sunday the television coverage will take the sale to those who can't make it.”

Over the next two days leading up to the sale TVN will also be screening a one hour Premier Sale Preview, a must see program for anyone looking to buy a yearling this year.

The Melbourne Premier Sale (March 2,3,4 & 6) commences on Sunday at 12 midday. Selling will be preceded by the parade of ‘Living Legends' Silent Witness, Might And Power and Fields Of Omagh – all Inglis sale graduates - at around 11.30
