Consignor Sheila Godfrey sold the highest priced yearling at the 2008 Pacific Yearling Sale on Sunday in Surrey, British Columbia.
67 yearlings were auctioned at the BC Standardbred Breeders Society sale with bids going as high as $57,000, however the top price paid for a yearling changing hands was $9,000.
The well-presented Brandons Cowboy filly, Dnerka CF was purchased by BC Standardbred Association president, Jim Vinnell.
Foaled in March 2007, at Godfrey's Chase, B.C farm, Dnerka CF is the eighth foal of Colt Fortysix mare, Soaring Yankee which has produced five winners including BC Breeders Stakes and Delta Stakes winner, Dal Reo Jewel, Soarnbrace (1:55, 21 wins), Red Star Yankee (1:55.2, 26 wins) and Dal Reo Major, a BC Sales Stakes winner.
There was spirited bidding on quite a few lots that didn't change hands.
The sale ring was buzzing after Camluck colt Camnoose Bay was bought back by owner Lance Goshko when bidding stopped at $57,000.
Of the 67 lots that went through the sale ring at the Cloverdale Agriplex, only 17 were sold with the remaining 50 yearlings either bought back or passed through.
The combined sales, including buy backs accumulated bids of $253,400 with actual sales of $49,800, providing a sale average of $2,929.
