Five individual races in the $5 million Inglis Race Series have been upgrade to Restricted Listed status by the Australian Pattern Committee and Australian Racing Board.

The Committee recommended to the Australian Racing Board that the Inglis Banner (Moonee Valley), Inglis Nursery (Warwick Farm), Inglis Classic (Rosehill), Inglis Premier (Mornington) and Inglis Guineas (Scone) be elevated to black type.

The Inglis Race Series commenced in 2008 and the Banner has been won by Champion Sprinter Starspangledbanner and subsequent G2 winner Elite Falls.

Inglis Nursery winners Chance Bye and Pane In The Glass went on to complete the Inglis Classic double while this year’s running was won by smart debutant Cavalry Rose.

2011 Inglis Premier winner Masthead subsequently finished third in the Blue Diamond and fourth in the Golden Slipper while 2012 winner Snitzerland won the G3 VRC TBV Stakes and G3 ATC San Domenico Stakes.

The Inglis Guineas has quickly established itself as a springboard for three-year-olds to the Brisbane winter carnival with 2011winner Sincero progressing to victory in the G1 BRC Stradbroke Hcp.

All yearlings offered for sale during Inglis Select Yearling Sales are eligible for nomination into the $5 million Inglis Race Series.  The 2013 sales series kicks off with the Sydney Classic Yearling Sale in January.
