William Inglis & Son today announced the return of the Australian Weanling and Broodmare Sale to its traditional Easter dates immediately following the Australian Easter Yearling Sale. This decision was reached following numerous requests from international buyers who attend the Australian Easter Yearling Sale and find it difficult to return at a later date.
Managing Director Reg Inglis consulted with a number of vendors who showed overwhelming support for the move.

"Traditionally, buyers would come to Sydney at Easter for the best in racing, yearlings and broodmares - in 2003 this tradition will be revived."

Over the last five years William Inglis & Son have sold $200 million worth of breeding stock to buyers from around the world.

The new format will see the select Sires’ Produce Yearling Sale take place on Sunday April 27 to be immediately followed by the Australian Select Weanling Sale and the Australian Broodmare Sale Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 27 to 30.

An exciting selling point for vendors at the sale will be the abandonment of the pass in commission on mares and weanlings not sold.

Entries for the Australian Select Weanling Sale and Australian Broodmare Sale will still close on Friday February 28, 2003.
