Inglis CEO Mark Webster Tweeted on Sunday that the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale would proceed by invitation only.
Given the constantly evolving situation, that current plan could easily change as events unfold and results in the next two days at the Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale will no doubt influence any decisions made.
North American based auction houses Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton have cancelled two year olds in training sales with travel restrictions making attendance of buyers and bloodstock agents impossible.
Aside from the health issues, there is also the economic factor involved as traditionally the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale has followed the fortunes of the stock market and if that is the case vendors are entitled to be nervous.
