Rexdale, ON – The 2007 CTHS Winter Mixed Sale concluded Saturday night resulting in 115 head selling for a gross total of $568,300, down slightly (4.1%) from the 125 that sold for $592,300 in 2006, with gross totals for weanlings, yearlings, and horses of racing age showing increases across the board.
“While severe weather warnings may have hampered out-of-town buyer participation, we’re pleased with last night’s Sale results,” said Julie Coulter, General Manager for the Ontario CTHS. The snowstorm finally hit the Toronto area just after the Sale, which resulted in the cancellation of Woodbine’s live Thoroughbred racing on Sunday.
Two broodmares shared the limelight as the Sale topper, selling for $35,000 each. Aoife, a four-year-old mare by One Way Love and believed to be in foal to Wando, went to purchaser Jack Johnson. Out of the Vanlandingham mare Sandhill Charm, the mare was consigned by Schonberg Farm, Agent for Gustav Schickedanz. Red Skimmer, a Gulch-Frayne mare, believed to be in foal to Langfuhr, was purchased by Paul O’Brien.
The top weanling was a Bold Executive filly out of Northernset, who sold for $23,000 to Paul O’Brien. A Storm Boot filly topped the yearling session, selling for $15,000 to Richard G. Hogan, Agent. Out of the Discover mare Re Lyd, the filly was consigned by Hill ‘N’ Dale Sales Agency, Agent. Topping the final session was Feverish Dream, a Ward Deputy-Natural Gold filly consigned by Windways Farm, Agent. The dark bay was purchased by Hooman Akbary from London, England.
