For an explanation of what each category has available please see below:

 

Yearlings – https://bit.ly/3wH0QWd

The yearling category is what currently makes up most of the horses on Thoroughbred Sales. This is where you will find all the yearlings available to buy shares in or become a racing partner. Most of these horses have “price upon request” which is because the trainer or syndicator does not have a certain licence to advertise the pricing however if you enquire they will be able to give you a price depending on how much of the horse you are looking to buy. This category also have Yearlings which someone is looking to sell 100% of which will normally have the whole sale price, similar to if you were buying a car.

Stallion Service Fee – https://bit.ly/2Tt2wEr

Only a new category to Thoroughbred Sales as we have seen a lot of interest in people looking for horses to breed with theirs. Under the Stallion Service fee category you will find all of the top stallions listed from various stud farms throughout Australia and New Zealand and have the ability to see what might be best compatible to your Broodmare.

Syndicate/ Race Horse Shares – https://bit.ly/3c1m3Co

Syndicates are one of the most common ways to get involved with a horse. Becoming part of the syndicate allows you to experience all the thrills of racing without having to manage some of the day to day tasks involved with a race horse. Syndicates allow you to buy shares within a horse which is managed by a “syndicate manager”. The syndicate manager takes care of all the collation of billing, smaller day to day decisions and keeps the communication between all the owners involved. These normally involve extra fees for this but for busy people this is a great option.

Stallions –

Similar to the Service fee category however they are looking to sell the whole stallion. You may have the option to keep on racing these horses or send them off the the breeding barn.

Broodmares –

This is a mixed category that consists of clients looking to offer their broodmares for breeding or sell them off completely. The Broodmares have so many options like potentially racing on, Breeding rights or just been sold off completely. This is normally a case by case and you should contact the seller to see what options they might be interested in.
