Where Champions Begin

From the excitement in the ring to the connections made behind the scenes, this year’s Sale was a true showcase of our industry at its best.

We are grateful to the consignors who brought forward such impressive yearlings, to the buyers and agents whose support drives our sport forward, and to all the supporters whose passion and commitment make events like this possible. Every bid, every conversation, and every moment contributed to a successful and memorable day. 

Thank you to everyone who took part.

Thank-you to everyone who joined us for the Yearling Sales Prep Event.

It was a very hot day and so were the topics!  From yearling care to buyer expectations, the sessions were filled with valuable insights and delivered practical takeaways for breeders, consignors, and all participants in the sales process.
