Harness: Kelsie Awaiting heads Preferred Equine Online Mixed Sale
The well-bred 3-year-old trotting filly Kelsie Awaiting, a full sister to the multiple stakes-winning Walner Payton, was the sales topper in the March 4th, 2024, Preferred Equine Online Mixed Sale.
Consigned by PEO as agent for Ken Jacobs, the daughter of Walner led the auction with a purchase price of $230,000. With multiple bidders during the extended time, she was purchased by one of the sport's leading breeders in Crawford Farms LLC.
Recent Meadowlands winner Sheer Terror p,4,1:49 4/5-'24 was hammered down for $90,000 to Mark Howard. The Always B Miki gelding paced to a new career mark on Saturday night at the Meadowlands and should be a contender in the upcoming 4-year-old events.
Early Action was the next highest lot, selling to David Rovine Stable LLC., Agent. The 5-year-old Huntsville gelding sold for $62,000. Both Sheer Terror and Early action were sold by PEO, agent for the partnership of Val D'or Farms and Ted Gewertz and Hall of Fame trainer Joe Holloway.
Sale proprietor and manager David Reid was pleased with both the results and the overall participation in this and previous sales.
