More Than Ready Mare Tops CTHS Ontario Sale

The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) Ontario Mixed Sale, held Oct. 18 at the Woodbine Sales Pavilion, generated the second-highest average and median of the last seven years. A total of 48 horses sold for a gross of $252,400. Average was $5,258, while the median was $3,000.

“The Annual Mixed Sale is important to our breeders in Ontario. It provides a necessary venue to restructure and improve their breeding stock,” said Peter Berringer, president of the CTHS Ontario Division. “This sale continues to attract new buyers from across Canada as we saw an increased number of buyers from Western Canada. While our average and median numbers were down over the 2022 Mixed Sale, we sold the same number of horses, indicating it still pays to breed, buy and sell in Ontario.”

Topping the sale was the mare Maritime Breeze (More Than Ready), who fetched $27,000 from Robert Marzilli, while her weanling filly by Town Prize sold for $19,000 to T.H. Bloodstock. The highest-selling yearling was a filly by Where's The Ring out of Quiet Action (Forest Wildcat), who sold for $13,000 to Michelle Love.
