Importantly, a yearling MUST be Parentage Verified before it can be Super VOBIS nominated.

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 lot and bonus scheme hip sticker(s) when going through the ring.

Please establish eligibility for any bonus schemes well in advance of the sale.

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.

Please note that pre-sale endoscopic videos to be lodged in the Repository must be taken by a Veterinarian within 7 days of the sale. For this sale ONLY vendors are able to submit videos that have been taken off-site.

Pre-sale endoscopic videos done offsite that are lodged in the Repository must be accompanied by a letter declaring this.

Please have your appointed veterinarian contact Teresa MacGinley (0427 682 219) to book our onsite scoping facility if required.

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.

Pre-sale endoscopic videos must be lodged in the repository by noon Tuesday 19 April.

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 advise Teresa MacGinley if your yearlings have been Hendra Vaccinated.

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

Veterinary Declaration of Health for Horses in the Hendra Watch Zone

If your horse/s catalogued in this sale is being transported from a property that is located in the area from Port Macquarie to Tamworth, Tamworth north to Tenterfield, Tenterfield north to the Queensland border and all of Queensland and has not been vaccinated, the attending veterinarian is required to complete a declaration of health and return it to Teresa MacGinley in the Inglis Oaklands office by 5pm, Tueday 19 April. A copy of the veterinary declaration is available from Teresa upon request.

BLOOD TESTING FOR STEROIDS

Under our Conditions of Sale yearlings and racehorses ONLY 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 Victoria 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 Clause 14 of the Conditions of Sale as listed in the catalogue and our website.

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.

Special Note: ALTRENOGEST (Regu-Mate)

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

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.
