Prices were up across the board at Friday's 2014 Atlantic Classic Sale, which saw an increase in total sales to a record $668,000.

“We were thrilled with the buyers' response to this year's sale,” said Wayne Pike, Sales Manager. “Prices were strong overall, which reflects the strong racing program we have locally, and the positive impact of the recent announcement that New Brunswick will be rejoining the Atlantic Sires Stakes program in 2015.”
