Depends what their objective was. They've cleared a lot of yearlings off their property so don't have to carry them anymore nor spend hours trying to sell or place them somewhere else. Perhaps they have a new strategy - Studs that have been round for a long time have quite a ruthless approach to culling non-performing or marketable stock. They aren't emotionally attached! Also many overlook the cost structure for a stud. The largely own all their assets, put their own mares to their own stallions and have bloodstock taxation write off's. So the sales margin for them is a lot different to Joe Breeder in Taihape. -

For the fourth consecutive year, Paul Reddam's Reddam Racing was the leading owner in California by total purse earnings, while Hronis Racing LLC led all California owners by number of victories, according to statistics released Monday by the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC). Runners campaigned in the white-and-blue colors of Reddam Racing in California proved victorious 32 times from 252 starts for total purses of $2,031,442. Among the stable stars were the multiple stakes-winning Stay and Scam, a daughter of Reddam's Square Eddie, who also hit the board in the GIII Wilshire Stakes and GIII Royal Heroine Stakes. Other Reddam colorbearers to earn black-type include Don't Fight the Fed (Nyquist), Stolen Treasure (Nyquist) and Accidental Genius (I'll Have Another). Hronis collected 35 wins from 142 California starts for earnings of $1,720,310, topped by GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile hero Full Serrano (Arg) (Full Mast), Antifona (Fr) (Recoletos {Fr}) and Tapalo (Tapiture). Cuyathy LLC, owner and breeder of Eclipse Award finalist and top miler Johannes (Nyquist), and the partnership of Sondereker Racing, Kruljac, Fetkin, and Thornburgh each had five stakes wins in 2024. The top earner for the latter partnership is the outstanding Cal-bred sprinter The Chosen Vron (Vronsky).

The Board of the Florida Thoroughbred Horsemen (FTH) met Monday to address HB 105, the pending legislation seeking decoupling in Florida that would allow Gulfstream Park to separate its gaming license from the requirement to continue to conduct live racing. The Board of the FTH voted unanimously against decoupling and is against the passage of HB 105. Their statement issued Monday reads: “The future of Thoroughbred racing in South Florida is too important and too uncertain if HB 105 is passed. We cannot take that risk without a definitive plan going forward. “The organization wants to actively engage and work with 1/ST RACING and Gulfstream regarding the future of racing in South Florida. We have requested a series of meetings with 1/ST and Gulfstream so that the interested parties can collectively come up with a sustainable solution that would be in the best interest of racing. “Unless and until that solution is developed and agreed upon, the Florida Thoroughbred Horsemen will be against decoupling or any legislation that threatens continued Thoroughbred racing in South Florida.” The FTH joins many of their counterparts in other jurisdictions (THA, KTA) and major industry shareholders such as Hill 'n' Dale Farm's John Sikura, in coming down against the legislation.

It amuses me how many in the industry talk doom and gloom about Book 2 EVERY year. "Bloodbath", "absolute carnage", "poor breeders not covering costs" and so on and so on. I've been hearing those comments from the days of the Book 3 Festival Sale. Although I always thought callong it a Festival was a misnomer. The fact is this years Book 2 statistics are no different than the average for the last 5 years. Sure costs have increased with inflation therefore in real terms returns are down but this year isn't any different to many before it. The difference this year is that the average is down and the clearance rate is up. Those metricd were influenced by Wesrburys decision to put their lots on the market with no reserve. Every year there are excellent bargains in Book 2 for those who are good judges and have an eye. Chris Rutten and Paul Moroney spring to mind. Sure some went very cheaply but most of them went to good stables. Generally horses sell cheaply because of being by an unfashionable stallion, a poor pedigree or having conformation faults. If you don't produce what the market wants then don't expect the market to buy it. Look on the bright side 742 yearlings sold for $86m at a 79% clearance rate. Deals are still being done. Given the state of the economy there is still hope for the naysayers.
