OBS winter mixed sale offers wide variety for buyers

The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. winter mixed sale has evolved over the past few years, and buyers have responded positively to the changes. In 2012, the auction company added a horses-of-racing-age portion to its January sale, taking advantage of the adjacent Ocala Training Center and the popularity of its sales of 2-year-olds in training. The sale expanded quickly with the introduction of the new market segment, and OBS further bolstered it last year by moving its annual Day of Champions races from March to January.

Barretts kicks off year of growth, transition

A season of transition for the Barretts sales company in Pomona, Calif., begins on Monday with a familiar launch – the January mixed sale that has started the California auction season for more than two decades. Monday’s sale of breeding stock, 2-year-olds, yearlings, and horses of racing age will be the second-to-last sale at the Barretts facility on the Los Angeles county fairgrounds. Following the select sale of 2-year-olds in training on Feb. 23, no further sales will be held at that site. The company will permanently shift its sales events to Del Mar.
