Top-Priced Yearling: A colt by Nyquist out of Mrs. Hudson by Street Cry achieved the highest price of the sale, selling for $250,000. Bred by David Anderson of Anderson Farms and consigned by Bernard and Karen McCormack of Cara Bloodstock.
Strong Average and Median Prices: The average price per yearling reached $26,500, an 11% increase from 2023. The median price of $19,000, a 27% increase from the previous year.
Top Ontario Sire: Adena Spring’s sire Silent Name led all Ontario Sires with a total of $371,000 in sales.
Record Online Engagement: Viewership for the online broadcast soared to new heights, accompanied by a record-setting volume of sales through online bidding.
The CTHS extends its gratitude to all breeders, consignors, buyers, supporters and sponsors who contributed to the sale's success. This year's results are a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in breeding and raising top-class Canadian Thoroughbreds and are a clear indication of the growing reputation on the national and international stage.
“On behalf of the CTHS, we thank and commend our Ontario breeders for bringing forward an exemplary group of Ontario sired and bred horses.” said David Anderson, President of the Board of Directors. “Our sale continues to produce champions and offers a great return on investment for buyers. Thanks to everyone who bid and purchased. Thank-you to our Board, Management and all of our industry supporters who helped make this the most successful sale we have had in recent years.
