Launched in December
2014 after 3 years of development Bloodstock Auction has just celebrated their
100th Online Thoroughbred Auction.
"We're
excited that we have reached 100 Auctions and our 101st Auction is now online
with over 170 Thoroughbred's on offer" said Anthony Gafa (Director of
Bloodstock Auction).
"Since our very first auction we have sold well over 5,000 horses with more
than 1,000 horses sold this year just in Australia, and our clearance rate is
over 70% and turnover has past $14 million.
We're very proud of the service we provide our members and to the Thoroughbred
industry and reaching our 100th Auction was a fantastic milestone"
said Anthony.
Put this all together and you can clearly see why Bloodstock Auction remains Australasia's
Number 1 Online Thoroughbred auction site, despite several unsuccessful "copycat"
attempts to replicate the business model and platform.
Bloodstockauction.com Raises $50,000 for

"In
conjunction with our 100th Auction, we're also proud to announce that our
partnership with Ronald McDonald House at Westmead raised $50,000 and we'd like
to thank our generous Stallion Owners who kindly donated up to 100% of their
Stallion Covers to support this worthwhile charity" says Anthony.
Bloodstockauction.com offers a unique experience to Thoroughbred Vendors and
Purchasers, with over 8,500 verified members, the regular online auctions ensure
the widest possible audience is reached to bring thoroughbred buyers and
