How does being a member of a Club make a difference? The Club model has been broken for decades aka Rugby Clubs, RSA's, WMC's. Those that have survived amalgamated and changed their business models. -

After dipping a toe into the pool with their very first consignment at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Fall Yearlings Sale in September, Wasabi Ventures Sales dove right into the deep end with a seven-strong group of horses to sell at Keeneland November during Monday's seventh session. The newest branch of the Wasabi family, the consignment is an offshoot of Wasabi Ventures Stables, created by TK and Michele Pesula Kuegler in 2017. Previously based in the Mid-Atlantic, the pair purchased a farm, now named Serendipity Springs, in Lexington, KY in 2024. “We bought a farm in Kentucky last year and moved about half of our broodmares there,” Michele said of the decision to have their own consignment. “It just made sense that, now that we're based here, that it would be a good time to start our own. Crystal Jordan is our farm manager and she's worked in the consignment world for quite a few years and has a great knowledge there. I brought in George Adams who is our bloodstock agent. And we built this nice team. I'm passionate about this and taking all of our skill sets together to form this group.” Wasabi Ventures Sales brought five yearlings to Maryland with their top offering, a colt by Practical Joke, bringing $80,000. “[Timonium] was great,” said Michele. “I have to tell you, I was a little bit nervous going into that sale, as I think anyone would be. But I was excited to start there. One, it's a smaller sale so it's a little less intimidating. We had three hombred Maryland-bred weanlings that just made sense to bring them back to where they were foaled. And Wasabi initially, as a racing and breeding group, started in Maryland so I knew a good amount of people there. I figured, if nothing else, they would come over and be friendly and social. And it went really well. Not only do we have George and Crystal but we have great showmen who worked for us too. The number of people who came up to us or talked to people who knew us and said how great our team looked… I am really grateful that we've got those guys. They did a top-notch job with our horses.” The consignment goes two better at Keeneland November with Wasabi bringing in six weanlings, mostly by first-crop sires, and one broodmare to Kentucky. Colts by Nashville (hip 2317), Dr. Schivel (hip 2407), Gunite (hip 2485), Kantharos (hip 2608) and Annapolis (hip 2596) join a filly by Independence Hall (hip 2420). The broodmare, Street Cruizer (hip 2674), is a daughter of Quality Road selling in foal to Darley stallion Proxy. “[Keeneland is] a lot of excitement for the first-crop sires,” said Michele. “Some of our more precocious weanlings are here. They're developing nicely. Weanlings can hit their funny stages and growth spurts but this group that we have, they're looking nice and developed and ready to see what they can bring.” With the sales market producing double-digit increases through the conclusion of Book 3 Saturday, the team at Wasabi Ventures Sales hopes the market continues to play in their favor. “[The market] has been nice,” Michele said. “We've been looking on the racing side and on the breeding side and the sales are just so strong right now. The horses that you were thinking last year would've gone for this price are going up and beyond now. It's been a great sale and reading the results the next morning, everything says the sales are up which is really nice. I'm hoping that trend continues through the end of the sale. [As a consigner], I'm very hopeful. I try to go in with a level head and not get crazy dreams. But I also think that, because the sale seems to be going so strong, I'm looking forward to a good Monday.” And as for what comes next? The 20 or so weanlings still growing at Serendipity Springs will see the sales ring in 2026, though the decision was yet to be made as to where and exactly when. Kuegler was confident, however, that Wasabi Ventures Sales would return to the Keeneland Sales Pavilion come September. “We'll have a bunch of yearlings and then it'll be the decision. Do we have a shining star that would be able to go to Saratoga? And then, most likely, we'll have a consignment back at Keeneland in September.” The post Wasabi ‘Ventures’ Into Deeper Water at Keeneland November appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The popular Out The Gate team will be in action tomorrow on racing’s biggest day at Addington Raceway. For the first time the trio of Guy Heveldt, Brendon Popplewell and Mitch James will be spending up large throughout the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup meeting. The high energy show was launched in August and their regular Thursday timeslot on Trackside has attracted a lot of interest. To get involved people need to scan the QR code below and then invest in the “Hosted Pot”. Out The Gate runs like a Punters Club. Investors will get money back relative to whether the Hosted Pot finishes in profit or deficit at the end of the day. For example : If you invest $100 and the Hosted Pot doubles its money you get $200 back. Conversely if you invest $100 and the Hosted Post loses half its investment you will get $50 back. Punters are advised to bet responsibly. View the full article
