Fresh from one of its graduates winning the $1 million King’s Plate at Woodbine on August 20, the Canadian Premier Yearling Sale, presented by the CTHS Ontario, is set to go this Wednesday, Aug. 30 beginning at 12 noon. Held at the Woodbine sale pavilion, the sale has some 250 yearlings catalogued, including a half sister to Paramount Prince, the Plate winner, offered by breeder Ericka Rusnak through Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency as agent.
Not only was Paramount Prince (by Society’s Chairman) in the sales ring last year and later purchased privately for $21,000 but he was the second major stakes winner sired by an Ontario stallion in a week. Patches O’Houlihan, a son of Reload, won the Grade 3 Bold Venture Stakes the day before the Plate.
Both Society’s Chairman and Reload are well represented in the sale as well as fellow Ontario sires Souper Speedy, Gamble’s Exchange, Frac Daddy, Danish Dynaformer, Ami’s Holiday, Point of Entry, Almasty, American Guru, Big Screen, Passion for Action, Signature Red, Silent Name (Jpn) and Old Forester.
