When does Lot 1 go on sale? The pre-sale show has been streaming for 3hrs and I cannot see a time for when the sale kicks off

Found it - 4pm

[Messenger]

After all that I missed Lot 1 - anybody know if she sold or what was bid

Anybody else find that they need to keep hitting the Mute button to avoid a headache from the barrage - I would love to see an auctioneer try a different style

We are off to a pretty slow start IMO in the first hour plus
Full sis to Shez All Rock only sells for $21k
A test coming up when we get to Anne's Lot 34 ½ sis to Ladies In Red and Our Little General

[Messenger]

Passed in at $65k

$17k for Trevor's Localize filly (Lot 50)
I think the money must be holidaying up at Mildura

[Messenger]

It warmed up for the 2nd 50
We had an $80k, $95k, $90k, $88k and a $100k
Lauriston has the top colt price of $100k and top filly price of $60k

And I am not talking darts

Lot 107 Bettors Delight x Our Golden Goddess sells for $180k

After that the Trotters went mad!
We saw a trotter sell for $170k, THREE for $90k (each that is :)) and another for $60k

Alison and Leigh Miles took out the Top Filly with Lot 192 surprising me with $115k

I thought Richard would have got more than $40k for his ¾ bro to Ride High

Thanks Kevin. Some great results for a few vendors. Some others were a bit unlucky. There were a few challenges. The buyers looking at my colt were all spent out by the time he was for sale. I believe that he gets 80 to 120k if he was on earlier and so we were a bit unlucky. He was a magnificent colt and worth at least 100k in my opinion. See if Tim Butt can prove me right. The trainer of RUNAWAY CELEBRITY tipped her to me. Said that the horse had some issues however does have ability and that her dam CELEBRITY BALL has an outstanding record etc.. Her gelding MY CELEBRITY also won in Tasmania on Fri at Davenport. They said that he'd shown alot before going amiss with a slight medical problem. Maybe I missed something? 6 current top 15 trainers come to see him.
Very disappointed Kevin. Let's try again.

Trotters outdid the pacers at the sale

I thought this would have been the case but I could not be bothered to do the maths myself

And the $180k one is yet to race. The price people pay at sales means very little.
