A racy son of Vronsky sold for $100,000 to top Tuesday's California Thoroughbred Breeders Association Northern California Yearling and Horses of Racing Age Sale, which posted year-over-year result increases.
The sale-topper, the first foal out of the Acclamation mare Back to the River, was bred by Harris Farms and Gary Parker and purchased by PT Syndicate #1 and Meister.
Bidding at the Alameda County Fairgrounds was robust early on as the first yearling in the ring, a filly by Stay Thirsty, sold for $80,000 to Craig Dollase, agent for Mark and Michael Wilkes. The filly, out of the Indian Charlie mare Letsgotovegas, was consigned by Lovacres Ranch, agent, and bred by Terry Lovingier.
With 114 yearlings sold, gross sales were $1,064,900 for an average of $9,260 and median price of $5,500. Last year, 105 yearlings sold for $871,100, an average of $8,296 and median price of $4,500. The average sales price for yearlings this year was 11.6 percent higher than last year.
