Inglis Bloodstock has been appointed the China Horse Owners Alliance representative in China, with an aim of increasing Chinese race horse ownership in Australia. Race horse sales have suffered a hit in recent years with greater restrictions on bookmaker advertising, increased interest rates, and the extortionate rates of some service fees at studs. But CHOA said their intense reach, which includes around 90% of race horse owners in China, will provide more clarity and opportunity around buying horses down under. “Inglis is a highly trusted and revered company that has been around for more than 150 years, so to be formally associated with them is a big compliment to the CHOA,” CHOA secretary Huang Qingcai said. “Our team is gathering most horse owners in China so I think we can help Inglis considerably to increase Chinese buyer participation at their sales moving forward. “We look forward to working with the Inglis team as we continue to build a strong relationship together.” Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said China had the potential to become a major player in Australian racing, and with already significant crossover with Hong Kong racing, including top jockey Zac Purton and legendary trainer David Hayes, the sky appears to be the limit. “We believe that the Chinese market has great growth potential, so to have the opportunity to formalise an association with the CHOA is a significant moment for our Company,” Hutch said. “We have great respect for Mr Zhang, Mr Huang and the entire Alliance and what they have achieved already and look forward to working with them to grow participation in horse racing in China. “Inglis International Business Development Manager Nicky Wong and Inglis Victorian Bloodstock Manager James Price last weekend attended the Yulong Sale and the major Yulong race day at Youyu in China and were very impressed by what they saw, as well as the interest expressed by people they met with being more engaged with the Australian bloodstock market.” Inglis International Business Development Manager Nicky Wong said the agreement was a natural progression for the company. “Inglis has long had a fantastic relationship with Mr Zhang and Mr Huang, so it was easy to work with them to come to this mutually beneficial arrangement,” he said. “We have had particularly strong international engagement with our sales through 2025, but this is something that we are looking to continue to grow into the future and we see strengthening our relationships with China-based horse owners as an important part of that.” The Inglis/CHOA partnership goes live ahead of the Inglis Ready2Race Sale at Riverside Stables in Sydney on Thursday, October 16, two days before the $20m G1 The Everest. What could CHOA appointment mean for Aussie racing? A larger, coordinated pool of Chinese buyers at Inglis auctions can deepen demand for yearlings and tried horses, supporting stronger clearance rates and price stability. That investment typically flows into Australian stables via training fees, ownership syndicates and prize-money reinvestment, while encouraging more international owners to race in Sydney and Melbourne carnivals — ultimately boosting field depth, horse quality and the global profile of Australian racing. Because Hong Kong racing does not have its own breeding industry, buying horses from Australian and New Zealand is already common-place. Anything that strengthens this relationship and keeps money coming into Aussie racing is a major positive in our books. View the full article -
But NZTR found 90k to enhance the usual G! 400k for that race. Wouldn't that be better spent on the toilets and possibly the timing system? I fail to see why they continue to throw money at stakes at the expense of infrastructure. There is simply no case for it. The only viable training centre in the country might be Cambridge? The rest all lose money from that. -
Think a lot of the staff went ages ago unless TAB For Ever can advise otherwise
