Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 27 Journalists Share Posted January 27 The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company kicks off its 2025 calendar of live sales with the one-day Winter Mixed Sale, which begins Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. A total of 342 short yearlings, broodmares and broodmare prospects have been catalogued for the auction, down from the 663 head catalogued for the two-day 2024 Winter Mixed Sale, but OBS is conducting a digital sale in conjunction with Tuesday's live auction. The online sale features 25 horses of racing age and 2-year-olds with bidding through Thursday at noon. Consignors expect to see similar trends during Tuesday's auction. “Your quality stuff is going to sell very well,” said Francis Vanlangendonck, whose Summerfield was the leading consignor at the 2024 sale. “The mares that haven't produced runners are going to be tough and the yearlings with vetting issues are going to be tough. But that's the case everywhere.” A short yearling by Omaha Beach brought the highest price at the 2024 Winter Mixed sale, selling for $100,000 to Discovery Bay Bloodstock. The filly returned to sell for $120,000 at the Keeneland September sale last fall. In all, 282 head sold at last year's auction for a gross of $4,491,800, an average of $15,928 and a median of $8,000.
