APG’s Brisbane Sale offers Unbeatable Value to Buyers
Sunday’s APG Brisbane Sale offers buyers more earning opportunities than any Standardbred sale ever conducted in Australia.
Not only will yearlings be eligible for APG’s million dollar race series and lucrative gold bonus scheme, but they will also be eligible to compete in a $100,000 Brisbane Sales race that is exclusively restricted to the 50 yearlings catalogued for this Sunday’s Brisbane Sale.
Brisbane Sale Yearlings Historically the Best Value for Money
While most people know about the unbelievably generous $100,000 Sales Race being conducted by Albion Park HRC, many buyers are unaware that Brisbane yearlings are historically APG’s best performed yearlings (on a price:earnings basis).
“Dollar for dollar, APG’s Brisbane Sale yearlings offer the best return for buyers out of any of the major sales” explained APG’s General Manager, David Boydell.
“At the top end, buyers that spend more than $20,000 in Brisbane historically have a two-thirds chance of landing a winner, with the average winner earning in excess of $100,000 (excluding bonuses) which is more than four times their average purchase price”.
“While there is no doubting the earning potential of horses at the top end, even the more modestly priced Brisbane Sale graduates have forged an outstanding record, with horses that cost less than $10,000 going on to record average earnings of close to $50,000 per winner, headed by the likes of Miss Galvinator ($1.1M), Our Galvinator ($634,161), I Am Sam ($531,702), Atomic Ark ($435,113) and Elzar ($335,229).”
Sunday’s Brisbane Sale catalogue looks to be one of the best
Sunday’s Brisbane catalogue looks particularly strong, with over half of the yearlings coming from sub two minute mares.
The sale includes progeny of outstanding race mares like Courageous Annie NZ ($201,551), Pole Dancer ($186,352), English Elegance NZ ($174,922) and Catwalk Beauty ($156,566), as well as progeny from some exceptional maternal families including a number from Kevin and Kay Seymour’s famous breed.
Plenty of Opportunities for Interstate Buyers
New South Wales and Victorian buyers will be delighted to note that over three-quarters of the yearlings are eligible for one or more NSW and/or Victorian futurities, including Bathurst, NSW Challenge, Vicbred and the Breeders Crown.
This means that interstate buyers can take the yearlings home to run in their home state’s major futurities, then pop back over the border for Albion Park’s $100,000 race towards the end of the season.
A table summarising the futurity eligibilities of each yearling is available by clicking here.
