At the annual Manitoba CTHS Yearling Sale on Thursday at Assiniboia Downs, the standout sale piece was not the expected Nonios sire, but rather Speculating. The sale saw 45 yearlings, 26 of which were sold for a combined total of $241,600. The top-priced yearling was Hip #32, a daughter of Nonios out of Piccadilly Line, purchased by Anne Champion for $24,000.
The next two highest prices went to offspring of Speculating, with Hip #18 going to Cam Ziprick for $21,000 and Hip #47 to Scott MacKenzie and Madison Leonard for $20,500. The sale also featured other notable horses, including Hip #12, a half-brother to Escape Clause, who sold for $17,000. Despite a slight dip in average price compared to the previous year, the sale was deemed fair and offered a mix of horses with high breeding potential.
The event highlighted the growing investment in the local industry and the potential for future success of the yearlings.
