As
we are all well aware, the breeding season launches on September 1st and with
it comes high demand for broodmares and stallion nominations.
Bloodstockauction.com with its member base now approaching 6,000, has plenty
of keen buyers ready to snap up breeding stock at all levels.
"Now is a great time for owners to cash in on breeding stock," said
Bloodstockauction.com's Director, Anthony Gafa. "We have a regular following
from boutique and larger breeders and they are always keeping an eye out for
well bred mares off the track and mares in foal to appealing stallions."
Hobby breeders and those breeding to race are also on the lookout for nice types
to suit stallions of their choice. In some cases, individuals are buying both a
mare and a stallion nomination to
suit in the one auction.
The offering of stallion nominations has been a big hit on
Bloodstockauction.com.
"Last season we offered a total of 172 stallion nominations in our auctions,
selling 138, including services to the likes of Sebring right through the stud
fee range to stallions which stand for less than $5000," said Gafa.
"As with all our lots, the purchase of a stallion nomination on our site
requires the buyer to pay within 48 hours, which allows breeders to sell a
little more cheaply with the advantage of up-front service fee payment."
Racehorses sell well all year-round, but with the Spring Carnival looming,
owners are catching the fever and asking their trainers to find them their next
potential champion.
Bloodstockauction.com is anticipating a bumper catalogue going live on Thursday
evening, with bidding through to the following Tuesday 6thSeptember. Entries close at 5pm on 1st September.
To celebrate the new breeding season, Bloodstockauction.com is offering Special
Spring Deals for vendors. The Team can be contacted on 1300 849 349 or go to Bloodstockauction.com.
