Value Plus Gelding Tops CTHS Alberta Thoroughbred Sale

The 2021 Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Alberta Division) Thoroughbred Sale posted significant gains across the board on Sept. 17, led by a $32,000 (Canadian) Value Plus gelding.

The auction took place at Westerner Park in Red Deer, Alberta, offering horses of all ages.

Focusing on the yearling section, which made up the bulk of the catalog, a total of 39 horses changed hands for revenues of $427,360, marking a 30 percent improvement from the 2020 sale, when the same number of yearlings brought $327,400. The average sale price rose 30 percent to $10,957 from $8,394, and the median grew 111 percent to $9,500 from $4,500.

Don Knight and Don Danard bought the sale-topper, Hip 30, a Value Plus gelding, for $32,000.

The chestnut gelding is the second foal out of the multiple stakes-winning Harlan's Holiday mare Holiday Maker. Bred in Alberta, the gelding hails from the family of Peruvian champion Ole Pegasus and Grade 2-placed stakes winner Adore. C. W. Matier consigned the sale-topper.

The all-ages portion of the catalog was led by a supplemental entry, Hip 1S, the unraced 2-year-old Bits of Lemon Drop, who sold to Perry Pellerin for $5,000. The Alberta-bred Declassify filly is out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare Saint Lemone, and she was consigned by Workwize Ent. Stables.
