Results
he first horse to pass through the ring proved to be the sale
topper, an early indicator that the annual Washington Thoroughbred Breeders
Association Mixed Sale would not go as expected.
For as long as most can remember,
the WTBA mixed sale has always been a winter venue, staged in December. Placed
on the calendar in October this year, the results had some calling the move
experimental.
With the first horse withdrawn, hip
#2, a juvenile filly by Basket Weave out of That Knight fetched the top bid of
the day at $24,000. A full sister to five-time stakes winner Enduring Knight,
she was consigned by Tall Cedars Farm of Enumclaw, WA, and purchased by trainer
Jim penny on behalf of Homestretch Farm.
Hip #163 seemed to be the most
popular yearling, bringing a final bid of $23,000 from Dana Morton of Ennis,
MT. By Hes Tops, out of Takeaway, the colt is a full brother to recent
Keeneland allowance winner Youcan'ttakeme. He was consigned by Woodstead Farm
of Chehalis, WA.
Next in line was hip #92, a filly by
Devil His Due from Knights Song. Consigned by Eugene Hammersmith, agent,
on behalf of Rod Nuckolls, she was purchased for $22,000 by K.K. Sangara of
Surrey, Brithish Columbia.
He's Top, proving a popular young
sire, was also well represented by hip #104, a colt out of McKala Miss that
sold for $20,000. Consigned by Willowmont Farms, he was purchased by Ron
Crockett.
Total receipts of $593,000 for the
168 head sold equates to an average of $3,530, a decline of 8 percent from last
year. The median price of $2,200, represents a 2 percent decline. On the
positive side, repurchases (RNAs) also declined slightly to 16
percent.
