We will have a look at them tomorrow
The first progeny of the champion harness racing NSW bred and owned pacer Lochinvar Art, now racing successfully in North America, will go up for auction at the Australian Pacing Gold sale at Oaklands Junction on Sunday, February 4.

He is the first yearling ever to be offered by the Western District-based Levarg Racing Group, one of the leading buyers at yearling sales over many years.
I am sure they would have preferred APG to leave that out. Why are they selling him?

Good to see the results are already up
https://www.apgold.com.au/2024-melbourne-sale-results/
$210k, $160k and $100k were 3 lots that helped boost the average to $26k
This was $2,500 more than the QLD sale but the QLD sale was definitely more even as their top lot was only $90k followed by $60k
The clearance rate of 65% was near on identical for both QLD and Vic

Any idea what happened to lot 122, it was sold for around $120,000 but says counseled on the website?
For the passed in lots I wish they would list at what price they were passed at .
Don't die wondering !
I can't say that I have kept tabs on this in the past but the massive takeout from those results is that if you are a breeder you are 50/50 to be a 'loser' as soon as your foal drops as the return for fillies is terrible
Of course I knew that they fetched less but from this sale
Fillies average = $15,500
Colts average = $36,000

That would be interesting to know RickOriginally Posted by gutwagon
If 122 originally went for around $120k that would have been TWICE what the top filly lot (139) ended up going for

It may have failed the scope giving the buyer the option not to proceed with the purchase
Thanks Nathan

Queen Lizzie = Captain Treacherous x (Our) Princess Tiffany
Mum is also a millionaire but $270,000 for a filly to top the NZ sales is amazing

Why the low sell rate in NZ do you all think?
