Barretts is set to host their annual Fall Sale of Yearlings and Horses of Racing Age Tuesday at 11 a.m. (PST) at Fairplex in Pomona, CA. There are 312 horses catalogued for the one-day auction with five weanlings, 252 yearlings and 55 racehorses or broodmares.
“The market is strong, particularly, of course, for the top end horses,” said Barretts General Manager Kim Lloyd. “Our concern is to get as many horses sold for our local breeders as we possibly can. We expect to put on a good and have a good sale.”
He continued, “It is a good book and there are a few yearlings in there that were supposed to come to the Select Sale, but didn't make it for one reason or another. There are several other yearlings our consignors are really excited about, so we expect good things.”
The yearlings represent sires such as Creative Cause, English Channel, Fed Biz, Goldencents, Honor Code, Jimmy Creed, Lookin at Lucky, Malibu Moon and Street Sense. There are mares offered in foal to the likes of new California sire Danzing Candy, Goldencents and Bluegrass Cat.
This is the final auction for Barretts, which announced in July that it would be closing at the end of this season.
