APG SALES Sydney aand Melbourne

[alphastud]

Did I miss something about Lot 12 - a full bro to Major Secret and a half to Beauty Secret
I expected this lot to go for more than $14k
(I have never read my wonderful book on confirmation)

Agree that something doesn't sound right. Lot 39 Art Major x The Good Times sold for $50,000 to Emma Stewart. More indicative of the value of Larrakeyah Lady's family

Will you confirm that?

I cannot read !

Reviewing the results
Showing 145/186 sold so that is 78%

The sales averages increased.
There is one mistake in the article - the top filly Lot 117 went for $85k

We all know it is not a given that your horse will make it to the track much less win a race but I was wondering about the APG success rate
so with their excellent site, I was able to do a little research - yep Kev with too much time on his hands again
I chose last season 2015-16 and honed in on the 3yo's as most would hope that their purchase would have won before turning 4yo

I took out the Sales withdrawals and on my count there were 438 lots that went through the sales at Melbourne (2 sales), Brisbane and Sydney
128 of them won at least one race as a 3yo which is very close to 30%

So if you were wondering - there you go

There of course could be a few lots that won as 2yo's that did not race/win as 3yo's but I have not got so much time that I want to skim through another 20 pages for the previous season

ps The Sydney catalogue is now available online

Does anyone think the Sydney Catalogue is stronger than the Melbourne sale?


A lot less Art Major and Bettors delight representation that's for sure although a lot larger representation of Mach 3.

I have to get back to looking at it and have only covered a quarter of it - being the fillies in the first 100 lots
BUT I thought they seemed much weaker than the Melb offering (25% of catalogue is probably too early to judge)

[Messenger]

I must have been in a daze when I was looking at the first half of the fillies Pat. Having looked at the second half, I went back and looked at the first half again and realized they were much stronger than I thought
