Preferred Equine Online’s June 20 Mixed Sale — the company’s largest since it opened its storefront — rang up more than $1-million in total sales and had two horses surpass the $100,000 plateau.
Leading the charge was the three-year-old
The other six-figure seller, Bolt Of Beauty p,4,1:51f ($289,699), was bought for $106,000 by Mulligan Stables from PEO representing seller Erv Miller. After racing competitively in the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series, she came to the sale fresh off a third-place effort in the Filly & Mare Open Pace June 16 at
Other notable sellers were Four Under par ($86,000) and Cheryls Shadow ($76,000).
Included in the sale were five available slots for the “Next Generation” Stakes at Scioto Downs. Those races for Ohio-sired two-year-olds of both gaits and sexes — each with a purse of $150,000 — will be contested July 4.
The purse pool will receive the first $10,000 of each lot’s final auction price, with the amounts beyond that donated to the Standardbred Transition Alliance. Four of the five slots sold for a combined total of $41,000, creating a $1,000 donation to the STA. The slot for two-year-old pacing colts remains open on a “make offer” basis.
In all, 40 of 48 lots that were offered sold for a total of $1,168,500 and the sale posted a racehorse average of $31,319.
“It’s pretty straightforward,” Reid said. “Owners and trainers are hungry for quality racehorses and those that fit the bill sell at a premium. The participation in this sale — from consignors, bidders and buyers — was outstanding.”
