Fall Yearling & Mixed Sale
C
onsidering the logistics that goes into putting on a Thoroughbred yearling sale, there is a
near constant process of planning and tweaking sale schedules and formats and they don’t
always work. But when it all comes together the base results impacts a positive outcome for a
successful sale.
The catalog was one of the better ones and the horses arriving in the stalls looked good and
matched the pages. Potential buyers on Tuesday and Wednesday were complementary about how
great the horses looked.
The yearlings that brought the bucks graded high on everyone’s list. With 75 yearlings, 2 racing
age Thoroughbreds, 8 broodmares, and 1 weanling shoppers had lot to choose from.
With the sound of the auctioneers dropping of the gavel, once again on November 15, 2018
yearlings started making their way to the sale ring in hopes to be the sale topper. He came from
the consignment of Few Acre Farm. Tim Bankers purchased two outstanding yearlings, #1 sired by
Einstein filly, consigned by Few Acre Farm and #5 (Hoss) the flashy colt by Smart Bid who topped
the sale for $53,000.00.
All involved in this endeavor; sellers and workers should be commended. Space won’t allow me
to acknowledge everyone...so. Thanks to all who helped make this the “Best Little Sale in the West.”
The ATBA Board of Directors, and staff would like to wish all our buyers the best of racing luck
with their new prospect’s and we hope to see you in the winner’s circle in the new year!
Good Luck!
