Thoroughbred Owner Conference Series ‘Buying at Public Auction’ Now Online

The seventh panel of the OwnerView Virtual Thoroughbred Owner Conference held Tuesday, Aug. 15, is now online, the organization said in a release early Thursday.

The session featured bloodstock agents Erin Birkenhauer, Marette Farrell and Mike Ryan, plus auctioneer Tom Biederman discussing horse selection and the bidding process at Thoroughbred auctions. The panel was moderated by OwnerView's project manager, Gary Falter.

Topics included yearling sales, buying 2-year-olds, buying horses in training, the importance of vet records and conformation.

“For people getting into the business for the first time, a great approach is to buy some fillies because you have some exit strategy, you've got resale/residual value,” Ryan said.

There are four more Thoroughbred Owner Conference virtual panels scheduled for 2023, with the next session, 'Claiming', to be held Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. (ET).

There is no fees for the series, but registration is required. Click here for more information.

Amo Racing Raises The Roof at Saratoga, Pays $1.1M For Quality Road Colt

Alex Elliott and Ben McElroy, acting as agents for Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing, accounted for the first seven-figure offering Monday at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga, going to $1.1 million to acquire hip 77 from the consignment of Gainesway, agent for Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Bred & Raised. The March-foaled bay is a son of I'm a Looker (Henny Hughes), winner during her racing days of the GIII Winning Colors S. en route to bankrolling better than $316,000. Stonestreet acquired the March foal's dam for $475,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November Sale and sold her Curlin filly for $525,000 at last year's Keeneland September Sale. Amo Racing has tasted success at the races on either side of the Atlantic this season. In Europe, Valiant Force (Malibu Moon) registered a 150-1 shocker in the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot, while King of Steel (Wootton Bassett {GB}) was victorious in the G2 King Edward VII S. at the Royal Meeting after finishing second in the G1 Betfred Derby. He was a latest third in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond S. In the U.S., Amo was recently represented by New York Thunder (Nyquist), smashing winner of the GII Amsterdam S. at Saratoga.

An ‘Authentic’ Purchase For SF/Starlight/Madaket

A colt from the first crop of Horse of the Year Authentic was hammered down to Donato Lanni, agent for SF Bloodstock, Starlight Racing and Madaket Stables for $875,000 as the first night of trade at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga reached its midpoint. Hip 56, consigned by Four Star Sales as agent, was bred by Spendthrift Farm–who raced Authentic with Starlight and Madaket and stands him as well–and is the second foal out of the Grade III-placed Golden Domer (Quality Road), who was knocked down to Spendthrift for $340,000 in foal to Candy Ride (Arg) at Keeneland November in 2019. The colt's half-brother by Bolt d'Oro made $275,000 in this sales ring last summer. Early in the session, MyRacehorse–also a partner in Authentic–paid $400,000 for a Machmer Hall Sales-consigned Authentic colt.
