BUYING YOUR FIRST RACEHORSE


Buying a yearling

  

Buying at auction can be just as exciting as winning a race! You will be duelling with other bidders for the horse of your choice - imagine the thrill when the auctioneer accepts your bid.
 

More than 4,000 yearlings are sold at auction each year around Australia. The horses are old enough to be assessed by your advisers (vet, trainer, bloodstock agent) for conformation etc., but have not been broken in, so their racing ability has not been exposed.

 
There are major yearling sales in all capital cities and sales at country venues. The average price at yearling sales around Australia in 2004 reached $50,000, but prices can start at a few hundred dollars or reach as high as $2 million.
