Welcome to the Inaugural Inglis Sunday Lunch

“On behalf of our family and our fellow hosts, welcome to the inaugural Inglis Sunday Lunch, in advance of the 116th Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Until the 1970s, our base at Newmarket in Randwick hosted a charity luncheon prior to the auction and we’re excited to be renewing this tradition. On this occasion we gather to support the South Western Sydney Local Health District and the ground breaking medical research and new health technologies at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research.
We welcome you to Riverside Stables and hope you enjoy a relaxed feast of fabulous food curated by Matt Moran, accompanied by Australia’s premium Penfolds wine, and the unique chance to see the southern hemisphere’s most elite thoroughbred yearlings.
Thank you for joining the Inglis Sunday Lunch and supporting the work to improve health outcomes in the South West.
Thank you to my fellow hosts and our generous supporters.
We trust this event will become a grand tradition.

Regards,
Arthur Inglis”
