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.

Average Up by 28% at CTHS Ontario Yearling Sale

A yearling colt by Cairo Prince topped the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) Ontario Yearling Sale, also known as the Canadian Premier Yearling Sale, and helped spur a steep rise of the average, which was up by 28% over the 2021 edition. Held Wednesday night at the Woodbine Sales Pavilion, the CTHS sale registered gross sales of $3,837,700 (up 22%), a median of $19,500 (up 95%), and an average of $25,585.

The topper, a Cairo Prince colt out of Hopping Not Hoping (Silent Name {Jpn}), hammered for $115,000 to Dr. Robert McMartin, agent. Consigned by Woodlands Farm, he was bred in Ontario by Murray Smith.

“Our sales week got off to a great start with our race day at Woodbine on Sunday featuring the four sales stakes for previous sales grads,” said Peter Berringer, CTHS Ontario's president and sales chair. “Ontario Racing's promotion of the Sales Credit Program in 2022 has undoubtedly increased interest from our owner/buyer base. We've also enjoyed welcoming many returning customers, who we last saw pre-Covid, as well as a diverse new international buyer base. We thank the breeders/owners who have supported the sale, as more than ever it pays to breed, buy, and race in Ontario.”
