If you are planning on having your horses pre-sale scoped, please contact your veterinarian directly as soon as possible so they can book the vet room.
We recommend this is performed early in the morning and on the first or second day after you arrive. 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, yearlings 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.
Post-sale scoping on yearlings or race fillies ONLY remains in place at the purchaser’s request.
BLOOD TESTING FOR STEROIDS
Under our Conditions of Sale all yearlings and race fillies ONLY sold at these sales are eligible for a post-sale blood test for anabolic androgenic steroids and receptor modulators. This test will be conducted at either the purchaser’s or Racing New South Wales 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 yearling or race filly 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 Condition 14 of the Conditions of Sale as listed in the catalogue and our website. Special Note: ALTRENOGEST (Regu-Mate) Having regard to the levels of trendione, trenbolone and epitrenbolone that have been detected in oral altrenogest products, Racing NSW provides the following advice to the industry. 1. Under no circumstances should any altrenogest injectable products be given to thoroughbreds until further notice; 2. Under no circumstances should altrenogest be used on male horses, as the use of altrenogest products in male horses is prohibited at all times; 3. Oral altrenogest products are permitted to be given to fillies, but must not be given within one clear day prior to the filly being sold at auction and given in accordance with the listed label dose rate for fillies, as outlined by the manufacturer.
Please note under condition 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) in yearlings and race fillies ONLY. 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
