latest gavelhouse broodmare sale

[the galah]

its interesting what you see sold on gavel house and how much they go for.

the latest broodmare sales included

talk about art.6 y old She is by a mare who left 3 foals,1 being a group 1 and group 2 winner and the other being a winner of 4 races.

this mare didn't meet her reserve of $500.

ruby rose. 9y oldThis mare has had 3 foals of racing age. 1 has won 3 from 19 starts,another has raced as a 2year old this season. apparently its 4th foal was sold for $90,000 at the latest yearling sales.

ruby rose was sold for $600. 

diamond edition 10 y old this mare was a winner of 1 race and a half sister to 6 foals,5 of them winners. she has had 2 foals,with her oldest being 2.

sold for $500.

dead cat bounce-a 15 y old group 1 winning mare whos oldest foal is 5 race winner ,bounce and beyond,a 4 y old who raced in most of the gropup 1 races at 2 and 3..

sold for $750.

now there were other mares that sold,with the highest being for $15000 being linda lovegrace ,a 13 y old,who has left a group 2 winner and another who ran 2nd in the harness million to millwood nike.

 

so whats the point

well firstly it must be really disappointing for all broodmare owners to see horse,whose families that they have nourished,followed and cared for over the years,be sold for next to nothing with some you would think not even guaranteed a retirement given they are seen as of so little value.

really that could be viewed as even heartbreaking by many who have really cared for their horses over the years.

but the other point i make,is the people at HRNZ are just full of bullshit when they tell you how things are looking positive.

the morons who ramble on about next gen are just that,right royal morons, who have no appreciation of just how dire the well being of the industry is and the direction it is heading.

You know i read an article on HRNZ about the whitelocks who have 4 family members going into the ownership of a young horse. That story,seemed to somehow be used to justify the success of the next gen. 

these people who are behind these schemes are fooling only themselves and no one i know believes any of what they say.

For a reality check,how about they look at gavelhouse.

Seems these days ya can't give them away, even on the thoroughbred site, yearlings 2 yrs olds,broodmares in foal, some with foal at foot as well,for similar prices, may not be royalty bred, but nothing wrong with their breeding, and many bargains have been found,  just a sign of the times, cost of breeding and racing a horse, the odds of getting winners is firmly stacked against you, the next generation have many other forms of entertainment, just have to look at how popular gaming is.

Unfortunately you are correct Galah.

Would be good to buy some of these nicely performed mares and put them in foal and sell off their progeny, but you would only do it for fun rather than a profit!

It is just too expensive to breed and race horses nowadays as there are also far less people looking to buy at the yearling sales now.

Reality is that stake money is at its highest it is going to be currently and will be hesvily reduced by the time you have bred a yearling for sale.

I congratulate those that are still heavily breeding horses to race as we certainly need them despite there not being much money in it.

I read the other day that something like 40% of breeders are getting out of it, so there are going to be some nice mares available to be picked up cheap in the future.

Lets hope there will be enough bred to enable the industry to continue.

Would be a place to get rid of unwanted horses but they probably wouldnt achieve great prices.

I say bring back Claiming Races or have hirses racing in races where horses csn be claimed !
