Foal Identification cards should be posted prior to the sale to Ben Arnot in the Inglis Riverside office, PO Box 388, Moorebank NSW 1875 or handed into the Oaklands office marked to his attention when you arrive. Proceeds of the sale cannot be paid until the Foal Identification card is received in our office.

You must also disclose any invasive joint surgery or abdominal surgery (colic) of any type (see clause 10 (c) of the Terms & 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.

Bonus Schemes

If you have not yet paid up for your horse in the VOBIS System but would now like to nominate your horse and have it announced when your horse comes into the ring you must pay the nomination fee to Racing Victoria by 5pm on Wednesday 1st March.

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

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.

The repository is accessible to registered vets ONLY.

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 and lodged in the Inglis repository.

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

Please note that all pre-sale scope reports submitted to the repository must be completed at Oaklands and lodged no later than 5pm Saturday 13 May.

If you are planning on having your horse/s scoped, please have your appointed veterinarian contact Ben Arnot 0404 421 318 or ben.arnot@inglis.com.au 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.

Please contact Ben Arnot on ben.arnot@inglis.com.au if you require a list of vets who perform pre-sale scopes at our sales.

We recommend this is performed early in the morning and on the first or second day after you arrive.

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 scopes not performed at Oaklands will not be accepted into the repository.

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

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.

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 (available upon request) and return it to Ben Arnot in the Inglis Riverside office by 5pm, Thursday 11th May.

Should you require the form be resent, please contact Ben Arnot.

Blood Testing For Steroids

Under our Conditions of Sale all yearlings sold at this sale 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 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 Terms and 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 yearlings entered in this sale as this product may produce swabs with traces of the steroids trenbolone and trendione.

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). 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.
