Vendor Information: Document Guidelines

All registration documentation must be lodged in the offices of William Inglis & Son Ltd prior to the sale.

If registration documents are being mailed to Inglis, please send as registered mail, to enable tracing if not received.

If registration documents have been misplaced, please arrange for a duplicate set through the Australian Stud Book or relevant racing body in your state prior to the sale.

If documents have not been received by Inglis and duplicates have to be arranged, a fee will be incurred and deducted from sale proceeds.

Non compliance with the following conditions may result in sale proceeds being delayed and an office administration fee being charged.

Racehorses

• The 'Transfer of a Racehorse' form must be signed by all relinquishing owners in the relevant area.
