YARRADALE YEARLING SALE - MONDAY, 26 APRIL
For sale results see Yearlings For Sale page.
In glorious sunshine, the second annual Yarradale Stud Open Day and Yearling sale was conductd at the Sayers' family property in Gidgegannup on the outskirts of Perth on Monday, 26 April.
A sale with a difference, Ron Sayers will retain and pay up for up to 50% in any yearling sold to any owner(s) or trainer - a pretty good incentive. Yarradale Stud also offered to double the prizemoney won by the first, second and third placegetters in the 2011 Karrakatta Plate, which added to the atmosphere on the day.
A Large crowd of close to 500 of WA's racing fraternity, along with a number of Eastern States trainers and bloodstock agents were in attendance to firstly view the stallions standing the 2010 season at Yarradale Stud, including the exciting MUSKET (AUS) and freshman sire DISCORSI (AUS), and then to participate in what is fast becoming a must attend, unique sale of thoroughbred yearlings.
Following on from the successful first edition of the sale in 2009, where the sale grossed $919,000 at an average of $35,346, the results for the 2010 sale far exceeded expectations with huge gains across the board. All of WA's leading trainers made their presence felt, with Paul Jordan, Neville Parnham, Vernon Brockman, Lindsey Smith, Danny Morton, Colin Webster, Steve Wolfe, Geoff Durrant, Aquanita Racing, David Harrison, Lou Luciani and many others taking home lots. Overall 51 yearlings sold out of the 62 offered (82.3%) for $2,484,500 (up 170% on last year). The average of $48,716 was up 37.8% on last year's average of $35,346).
Danny Morton and Premium Syndicatons were the successful purchasers of Lot 14, the Medal Of Honor x Nureyev Again Colt for $31,000. Not the highest priced lot of the sale, but a lot that hopefully can make a difference for a few kids and their families. This lot was generously donated by Yarradale Stud to REDKITE - supporting kids with cancer, and 100% of the proceeds of the sale of this lot will head the way of this wonderful organisation.
Never one to sit back, Ron and all the Yarradale team are already planning the third edition of the sale in 2011 .. surely an event not to be missed.
