Last Chance To Register For Inglis Easter Online Bidding

15th Apr 2008

Bloodstock buyers who would like to bid online for the upcoming Inglis Yearling and Broodmare sales should register now at www.inglis.com.au .

Anyone interested in buying a yearling or broodmare but can’t make it to Newmarket should register now and apply for credit approval. Once approved for credit, buyers simply need to login via the Inglis website on sale day and bid when the relevant lot enters the ring. Bidders will be able to see the horse in the ring, hear the auctioneer and see the asking bid price for each lot. To bid, clients simply need to click on the bid button if they are happy with the asking price displayed on the screen. The online system will not allow a client to bid over their approved credit limit for each sale.

The service will enable anyone to bid online direct at auction from anywhere in the world. In announcing this new service, Inglis managing director Mark Webster explains that the move is all part of improving the service to both vendor and purchaser. “Our goal will always be to get buyers to attend our sales in person, but real time online auction bidding technology is the next best thing to being there and we feel there is a real opportunity to broaden our buying bench by offering this free supplementary service. The service was launched in Sydney last month where 8 horses sold online to bidders in Queensland, Victoria and Northern NSW.”

To assist buyers who are not able to attend the sale, Inglis staff are available to inspect horses and can arrange Vet checks if required. Buyers who need assistance should call the Inglis Sydney office during business hours on +61 2 9399 7999 and speak to a member of the Inglis bloodstock team. Following a successful online bid, Inglis staff will contact online buyers to organise transport and finalise payment arrangements.

The Inglis Easter Yearling sale commences Sunday April 20 with 1230 yearlings on offer over 3 graded sessions. The Inglis Easter Broodmare sale commences Sunday May 4 and features 655 broodmares, including the unreserved Southern Hemisphere dispersal of the highly sought after Swettenham Stud broodmare band.
