The Forest City Yearling Sale will take place on Sunday, October 23 at the Western Fair’s Metroland Media Agriplex in London, Ontario.

The Forest City Yearling Sale features 138 colts and fillies, primarily Ontario Sired and eligible to the lucrative Ontario Sires Stakes program.

The sale will be the culmination of a weekend of exciting events to support and welcome new fans and owners to the business.

• On Friday, October 21 – The Raceway at Western Fair District will feature the Forest City Preview – four divisional races open to three-year-old trotters and pacers who raced in the Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots Series in 2016 but did not race in the Grassroots Finals. That race card also has the Racing Under Saddle finale.

• On Saturday, October 22 – Yearling Inspection Day, starting at 10 a.m.

• On Sunday, October 23 – Forest City Yearling Sale starts at noon

The Forest City Yearling Sale and Western Fair District have put together an innovative ‘info zone’ for fans and owners. A number of organizations will be available to give information on fractional ownership, horse registration and licensing, pedigree interpretation, Ontario’s new owner’s bonus and life after racing with our equine athletes.

In addition, there will be draws conducted at the conclusion of the sale for a full set of harness from Wilson’s Tack, as well as horse transportation through Rick Bodi Horse Transport and Doyle Bloodstock Transportation.

Organizers at the Forest City Yearling Sale are proud to have the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and Ontario Racing come on board as sponsors of this year’s event.
