Officials at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company have announced that the company's annual yearling sale will move from August to October. The select section of the October yearling sale is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2017, with two open sessions to follow Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 11 and 12. The auction house's Winter Mixed Sale will continue to take place in January.
“Finding the most beneficial dates in a crowded yearling sale calendar is a little tricky,” said OBS President Tom Ventura. “Based on our feedback, we believe the October time slot offers a better overall fit for both consignors and buyers. Consolidating our Mixed Sales into January provides us the flexibility to shift the Yearling Sale to October. Moving the sale from August to the milder October weather will be a plus for buyers, consignors and horses. An additional side benefit of the new dates is the extra time after our 2-Year-Old sales to move our construction project along.”
