The 2016 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring sale continued its upward momentum in the juvenile marketplace, posting record average and median sale prices for the fifth straight year.
The Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. spring sale of 2-year-olds was pacing steadily with last year's record-setting edition at the conclusion of the third of four sessions on Thursday.
The third session of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring sale of 2-year-olds in training continued to keep an even pace with the previous year’s edition, led by a $1.2-million Broken Vow colt.
While session-to-session totals tracked behind the second day of last year’s Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring sale of 2-year-olds in training at the end of trade on Wednesday, the overall sale kept pace with the record-setting 2015 edition, led by a $550,000 Gemologist colt.
The past four editions of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring 2-year-olds in training sale posted record returns. After the first of four sessions on Tuesday, the 2016 renewal was on pace to extend that streak, led by a $335,000 Into Mischief colt.
Saturday’s sixth and final session of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring 2-year-olds in training under-tack show saw its fastest collective performance yet, with 10 horses tying for the overall fastest furlong and two reaching the fastest time at a quarter-mile.
A trio of juveniles achieved the co-fastest time for a furlong at Friday’s under-tack show for the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. spring sale of 2-year-olds in training, covering the distance in 9 4/5 seconds.
How does an auction house follow up on an all-time renewal of one of its signature sales? For officials of Ocala Breeders' Sales Co., the answer, they hope, is with an encore performance.
