11th May 2012

Inglis are delighted to announce that Chris Russell will be joining the company as a bloodstock consultant and auctioneer based in its Sydney office. Chris has spent the last four years working for Magic Millions with the last two years in charge of their South Australian operations.

Managing Director Mark Webster said “Chris is very highly regarded in the Thoroughbred Industry having spent time in most of Australia’s leading racing centres and has built strong relationships with the major players in these areas. He possesses an excellent eye for a horse and has great people skills which will complement the bloodstock team we have at Newmarket and Oaklands. He will be part of the Inglis selection panel inspecting the 4000 yearlings that are entered into the Inglis Yearling Sale Series annually. Chris will also be auctioneering at the company’s Sydney and Melbourne sales and will assist the company in recruiting buyers to its sales from around Australia. I have no doubt that he will be a great asset to Inglis and our clients in the years to come”.

Chris Russell commented saying “I am thrilled to be joining Australia’s leading Thoroughbred Sales Company “Inglis”. To be part of the racing and breeding scene based in Sydney and working in the Hunter Valley will be very exciting and something I am really looking forward to”.

Chris will take up his position with Inglis in July.

Mark Webster also confirmed today that James Mitchell who is currently completing a twelve month internship in the bloodstock department of the company has accepted a full time role as a bloodstock consultant based at Newmarket in Sydney.
