The Midwest Auction Company has announced the addition of a new Standardbred mixed sale date.

In addition to the company’s November sale, the June Midwest Mixed Sale will be held on Monday, June 22, 2020. The sale will be held at the auction company’s normal venue, the Michiana Event Center in Shipshewana, Indiana.

Citing demand for the mixed sale created by other sales scheduled for April and May being cancelled, the sale company was able to secure a late June date to meet that need.

“We certainly understand how fragile of a time we are in right now, not just for our industry but for the world,” stated sale manager Jeff Fought. “Our goal was to find a date that we felt would be late enough that we could make it work, while still early enough to fit the needs of both buyers and sellers of all classes of racehorses. We will take every precaution possible to have this be a safe environment, and we are optimistic about getting back to racing and back to business.”

In addition to all the amenities normally provided at the fall Midwest Mixed Sale, including 50 per cent payment of proceeds paid the day of the sale, the June 22 event will offer live-stream online bidding.

Entries are now being accepted and will close on May 11 or earlier if full. Entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
