WELCOME PACKS

Inglis will be providing a Welcome Pack for all vendors containing the following:

• Door Pedigrees • Lot Cards • Vendor Guides for staff • Treatment Sheet

Please collect these packs upon arrival from Inglis Reception on Level 3.

DOCUMENTATION

Identification cards should be posted immediately or handed-in to Teresa MacGinley at our office upon arrival if they have not already been sent in.

If you have not already done so, you must advise us if your horse(s) is a roarer (including those who have undergone laryngoscopic surgery), windsucker and/or wobbler. You must also disclose any invasive joint surgery or abdominal surgery (colic) of any type (see Clause 10 (c) of the Conditions of Sale for further information).

HIP STICKERS

Hip stickers, along with any bonus scheme stickers will be distributed prior to the sale on each sale day morning.

It is the responsibility of the vendor to ensure that each lot wears the appropriate hip sticker(s) when going through the ring.

Please establish eligibility for any bonus schemes well in advance of

the sale. If changes have been made to eligiblity/nomination status since cataloguing, please advise Wayne Massingham on 02 9399 7999 or wayne@inglis.com.au.

REPOSITORY

Please ensure you have submitted x-rays, surgical reports and any other relevant material (excluding endoscopic videos) by Friday 7 October.

X-Rays are to be taken after the horse has breezed up. If a horse breezes up on the alternate breeze up day the X-Rays are to be done that afternoon and submitted to the repository by 9am Saturday 8 October.

Please note that Hong Kong buyers may require additional xrays. We recommended consulting with your vet prior to repository submission.

During the sale the repository is located on the mezzanine level of The William Inglis Hotel, opposite Galleries 7 and 8 in the Grand Armee Room.

Repository Opening Hours:

Saturday 8 October to Monday 10 October 8:30am to 5:00pm Tuesday 11 October 8:30am to end of sale

The repository is accessible to registered vets ONLY and no submissions may be removed from the repository. X-rays remain the property of the veterinary practice identified on the radiographs.

Please be aware of our repository policies. The repository is only to be used in the manner provided in the Inglis Conditions of Sale (please refer to Clause 12 in this catalogue’s Conditions of Sale). Repository terms and procedures of use are available on the Inglis website.

For more information please contact Wayne Massingham on 02 9399 7999 or wayne@inglis.com.au.

PRE-SALE SCOPING

On a voluntary basis, you may choose to have your horse/s undergo a presale endoscopic examination, conducted by a veterinarian of your choice at Riverside and lodged in the Inglis repository.

If you are planning on having your horse(s) pre-sale scoped, please contact your veterinarian directly as soon as possible so they can book the vet room. Under the EVA Guidelines pre-sale scopes are required to be

completed on the complex.

Please have your appointed veterinarian contact Teresa McGinley to book one of our custom designed scoping facilities to conduct this procedure. For the safety of staff and horses, horses are not permitted to be scoped in their boxes.

Once the endoscopic evaluation has been completed you may choose to lodge it in the Inglis repository and/or keep a copy on your laptop at the barn and show interested veterinarians as requested. Inglis recommends that pre-sale scope reports are lodged in the repository to allow last minute buyer requests to veterinarians to be undertaken.

Please note that all pre-sale scope reports submitted in to the repository

must be completed at Riverside and lodged no later than midday

Monday 10 October. These will be maintained in the same repository system as the x-rays.

Post-sale scoping remains in place at the purchaser’s request.

BLOOD TESTING FOR STEROIDS

Under our Conditions of Sale all Ready2Race horses sold at this sale are eligible for blood samples to be collected and tested for anabolic androgenic steroids, receptor modulators, bronchodilators (Clenbuterol) and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories). All Ready2Race horses will have a blood sample collected at the breeze up day. These samples are securely stored at the both the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory and the NZTR Laboratory. They will be made availble for testing upon request of the buyer. On the day of the sale a post-sale blood sample may also be collected and tested upon request of the buyer. This test will be conducted at either the purchaser’s or Racing NSW Stewards request and expense. Purchasers wanting to avail themselves of this procedure must check the box on the Acknowledgement of Purchase iPad in the sale ring. The horse will have a blood sample collected by an Australian Racing Board approved veterinarian shortly after the lot is returned to its stable. For further information please read Clause14 of the Conditions of Sale as listed in the catalogue and our website.

Special Note: ALTRENOGEST (Regu-Mate)

Vendors are advised not to administer Altrenogest (Regu-Mate) to 2yo’s entered in this sale as this product may produce swabs with traces of the steroids trenbolone and trendione.

Please note under Clause 14, if a horse returns a positive test for anabolic androgenic steroids and/or receptor modulators the sale may be cancelled. Furthermore, under the Australian rules of racing, any horse that returns a positive test for anabolic androgenic steroids may be stood down for 12 months.

BLOOD TESTING FOR BISPHOSPHONATES

The Inglis Conditions of Sale have been updated to include a new post-sale blood test for Bisphosphonates (commonly traded under Osphos or Tildren). This test needs to be specifically requested by the purchaser and is separate to the current anabolic steroid test. Should the sample prove positive to Bisphosphonates, then the purchaser will have the right to cancel the sale within 24 hours of being notified and the results referred to the relevant PRA. Please see Clause 14.1 to 14.3 of the Conditions of Sale for more information.

HENDRA VACCINATED HORSES

Any horse that has been immunised with the Hendra Vaccine must be notified to the Auctioneer prior to the Sale and this information will be advised to the buyers at the time of the Sale. Failure to notify the Auctioneer of this information could lead to cancellation of the sale of your lot.

Please note horses that have been immunised with the Hendra Vaccine are currently banned for export to several countries including China, Indonesia and Malaysia.

The measuring stick and scales are located at the Barn F vet room.

Please contact Johnny Stocker on 0416 269 342 to book your horses in from Friday 7 October.

VENDOR PHOTOS/VIDEOS

We strongly recommend you to upload photos and videos of your catalogued horses to the Inglis website. Vendors are encouraged to film stock on a hard flat surface and in a manner that resembles a buyer inspection. Conformation stand, as well as front-on, hind-on and side-on walking shots are also encouraged.

Both photos and videos can now be uploaded by vendors directly

through the sale page on the Inglis website. Using the tabs on the right hand side of this page, a portal will open allowing uploads per individual lots. It is a simple process and a very useful marketing tool. If you require assistance with this process, please contact our IT Department on 02 9399 7999 or it@inglis.com.au.

RESERVES

We ask that a vendor representative is present at the auction box when your Lot is offered for sale. Please make your way to the Vendor Room located behind the auction box at least 2 Lots before your horse is to be offered. The room can be accessed by the door located at the horse entrance/exit from the sale ring. Please communicate your reserve/unreserved instructions to the Clerk at the back of the auctioneers rostrum in a clear and timely manner.

If you do not intend to be present when your horse is offered, please give your sale instructions to Jonathan D’Arcy at jonathan@inglis.com.au or on 0412 965 729.

If no instructions are received and you are not represented at the auctioneer’s box at the time of sale, we will offer your Lot for unreserved sale.
