Day 22: Inglis Bloodstock

Founded on the basic principles of honesty and integrity, William Inglis & Son Ltd's great success and longevity is attributed directly to these simple but all-important ideals.  This is a company where every detail matters and superior client service is of the utmost importance. The Inglis family are still involved in the day to day running of this business, with both Jamie and Arthur Inglis, within the firm.

William Inglis & Son Ltd commenced operations in 1867 selling farm produce. Soon after the company expanded into selling a wide range of livestock, horses, vehicles and other machinery at a number of sites throughout Sydney, the most notable being the auction house situated on Pitt Street in the Sydney CBD.

The bloodstock operation commenced in 1906 in rented premises known as Newmarket at Randwick. In 1917 William Inglis & Son purchased Newmarket for 50,000 pounds.  Developed and upgraded over the years, the world renowned Newmarket site is headquarters for William Inglis & Son today, and boasts a first class sales arena with seating for over 1000 people, plus four stable complexes accommodating up to 600 horses.

Set on 11 acres of landscaped gardens, just 6km from the Sydney CBD and 10km from the Kingsford Smith International Airport, Newmarket represents a unique blending of history, with all the convenience of modern day practicality.

William Inglis & Son Ltd stages a busy schedule of thoroughbred auctions during the year, covering all aspects of the breeding and racing industry, from weanlings and yearlings, through to broodmares, stallions and tried racehorses.
