BloodstockAuction.Com To Host Online New York-Bred Sale

Bloodstockauction.com has announced that it will conduct an online auction dedicated to New York-breds next week.

The catalog will be released and open for bidding at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 18, with the final countdown commencing at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 23.

Bloodstockauction.com was founded in Sydney, Australia and commenced their first auction in late 2014, and since then has conducted more than 250 successful online Thoroughbred auctions. The high demand for its services in Australia and New Zealand has resulted in auctions being held there on a weekly basis, with over 100 hips offered each and every week.

Online auction platforms operate 24/7 and expose the horse to a much wider audience. They are not affected by external events, and they are much more cost-effective compared to traditional live auctions. There is no requirement to ship horses, which reduces the risk of injury to the horse. Horses are only transported once they are sold.

Online auctions are open for bidding for five full days, which means that there is plenty of time for buyers to organize inspections and complete vet checks prior to placing their bids.

Bloodstockauction.com has listed more than 17,000 Thoroughbreds, and with a clearance rate of over 73 percent, this is a testament to the support their auctions attract from their loyal members.

Their success online has even attracted leading stud farms, Arrowfield Stud and other large commercial studs, who have recently held their own dedicated yearling, weanling, and broodmare sales through Bloodstockauction.com.

Bloodstockauction.com has now launched its services in the U.S., with auctions being conducted on a monthly basis to start. Their catalogs are released and open for bidding with an auction held every month.
