The next wave of champions will be introduced on Oct. 7 during the 2022 Atlantic Classic Yearling Sale in Crapaud, P.E.I., with catalogues available this Saturday (Sept. 10). 

The sale is set for 2 p.m. on Oct. 7, with more than 120 yearlings catalogued to sell at the Crapaud Exhibition Grounds. An online version of the catalogue as well as pedigrees and the current Outs List are currently available at atlantic-classic.com and peiharnessracing.ca.  

"The commitment and investment that Atlantic Canadian breeders have made is evident while looking through this year's lineup," said Nicholas Oakes, Chair of the Atlantic Classic Yearling Sale. "The 2021 edition broke nearly every record on the books, and we have another great roster set for this year with a beautiful facility layout for stabling and viewing of the champions of tomorrow. There will be no registration necessary this year as everyone is welcome to attend and as a special thank you for their business, buyers from the 2020 or 2021 sale can request a reserved table for their group from Sale Manager Julie Jamieson no later than Sept. 23. We thank everyone for their understanding the past two years during the pandemic and on behalf of the Sale Committee, I can say we are beyond excited to welcome everyone back to Crapaud in 2022." 

The Atlantic Classic Sale Committee would ask all consignors have their horses on site and prepared for viewing by 10 a.m. the day of the sale.
