Catalogues are now available for the exciting 2018 Allwood Stud Farm South Australian Yearling Sale.
A total of 35 yearlings have been listed to go under the hammer on Sunday, February 11.
To recognise the resurgence in South Australia’s standardbred yearling sale, the auction will be conducted at the Magic Millions Sales complex at 1 Park Terrace, Morphettville.
The Allwood Stud Yearling Sale has created plenty of talk not only locally but around Australia. Such has been the buzz it will not be just a sale but rather an event with people expected from around Australia and New Zealand.
Gary Crocker, Chairman of the Allwood Stud Yearling Sale Committee said that the tough decision had been made to restrict the number of yearlings to help ensure a quality list for the inaugural Allwood Stud Yearling Sale.
“While this was hard on many breeders who missed out, we believed it was the only way to go for our inaugural sale,” Mr Crocker said.
“In conjunction with the sale, we have been able to announce for the first time in the history of the sport, South Australia will have its very own $100,000 Group One race for two-year-olds, the Allwood in 2019.
“We needed total support from the harness racing community and we have been staggered by the outstanding people who have come forward.”
Some of the champion sires represented in the catalogue include American Ideal, Art Major, Courage Under Fire, Mach Three, Roll With Joe, Somebeachsomewhere and Western Terror.
The sale has had outstanding sponsor support from Bob and Marilyn Fowler, founders of Allwood Stud Farm, the home of stallions Fly Like An Eagle and Follow The Stars, joining up from the sale announcement.
Dean Baring, of Harnessbred.com, also has provided highly valued and outstanding support in the preparation of the professional catalogue with strong support from many advertisers including Horse Shoes R Us, UBET, Port Pirie Harness Racing Club, Aaron Bain & Valley Enterprises, Bagnato Horse Transport, Mitavite, Goodtime Lodge and Testmating.com just to name a few.
