The CTHS Ontario Mixed Sale returned after a one-year absence on October 29 at the Woodbine sales pavilion. A small catalogue of horses of all ages was on offer and the median price of the horses sold was up slightly from the 2019 sale.

A chestnut yearling filly by Maclean’s Music from the stakes placed mare Fancy Ribbons, by Perfect Soul (Ire) topped the sale at $40,000. Sold by Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, agent, which sold the top five horses at the auction, the filly is a half-sister to a winner and a placed runner this year from three foals of racing age. Rich Dynasty Ltd. was listed as the buyer.
