Inglis Changes Locations

Inglis, which is approaching its 150-year anniversary, will relocate its head office and auction facilities from Newmarket in Randwick to Warwick Farm the sales company announced Friday. The new 26-acre plot was acquired in 2009 from the Australian Turf Club and is adjacent to Warwick Farm Racecourse. The target move date is during the spring of 2018 and the facility will be operational in time for the major yearling sales of 2019. The location was selected after an intense review period that determined that the new placement of Inglis’ facilities will benefit from the close proximity to Warwick Farm, the Sydney International Airport and the forthcoming second Sydney Airport at Badgery’s Creek, which will also be capable of handling international traffic. The WestConnex project to improve the ring road network around Sydney, was also a factor in the selection process. 

“Inglis secured DA approval in 2012 from Liverpool Council to develop a state of the art sales facility at Warwick Farm with up to 1,000 stables and a fully enclosed selling auditorium,” said Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster. “Our recent introduction of ringside dining at Newmarket was a great success; we will be able to expand this level of service to many more clients at Warwick Farm. There will be plenty of open green space for vendors to entertain buyers and significantly more parade areas than any existing sales complex.” 

Continued Webster, “It will also be possible to service the complex with a ring road for vehicles, including resort style electric club cars for the convenience of major clients. Visitors will have access to 2000 car parking spots, significantly more than the 400 currently available at Newmarket. We are also working towards incorporating a hotel on our site to accommodate guests, with a range of hospitality facilities including a bar, micro-brewery, day spa, cafe and restaurants. This will supplement the recently established Holiday Inn Hotel opposite the racecourse on the Hume Highway.” 

“Our goal is to create the best Thoroughbred horse sales facility in the world that honours our heritage and services the Australasian Throughbred industry for the next 100 years, full stop,” concluded Webster.
