Yearling Sale Success!
The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Ontario Division) is proud to announce the outstanding success of its recent Yearling Sale, which concluded with record-breaking results. The event, held at the Sales Pavilion at Woodbine Racetrack on August 28, showcased the strength and vitality of the Canadian Thoroughbred industry, attracting buyers from across the country and beyond.
This year's sale featured an impressive catalogue of high-quality yearlings. Key highlights from the sale include:
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.
The CTHS remains committed to promoting and supporting the Canadian Thoroughbred industry and looks forward to building on this success in future sales. Plans are already underway for next year's event, which promises to be even bigger and better.

How it Works
- Create an account
- ·Register to bid
- Review horses up for auction, choose the horse you would like to bid on and simply bid by clicking the BID button. (We recommend setting your maximum bid and allow the auction to automatically bid for you. More details below.)
- If you are the successful bidder, the CTHS will contact you directly to arrange payment and provide contact details for the seller.
- If you get out bid, you do nothing more.
1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT
- Go to the auction site: www.auction.cthsont.com
- Click LOGIN
- Click CREATE ACCOUNT. Enter your name, email, create a password, tick the “I have read …” box and click CREATE ACCOUNT button. Please keep your username and password in a safe place. You are financially responsible for all bids placed by a user that is logged in with this username and password.
2. REGISTER TO BID
- Click LOGIN. Enter your username and password.
- Click REGISTER TO BID
- Verify your contact information is accurate. The CTHS will need to contact you if you are the successful bidder!
- Fill in credit card information. WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD FOR ANY SUCCESSFUL BIDS. This process is used to verify our bidders identity only.
- Click the box next to “Agree to Terms & Conditions of Sale” and “I am 18 years of age or older”
- Click REGISTER.
Now you are ready to bid!
3. HOW TO BID
Always review your bid before hitting the BID button.
- Once bidding opens, click the BID button on the desired horse’s profile.
- “Next Bid” indicates what the next bid needs to be in order to be the next highest bidder. Bidding is set in increment amounts.
$1,000 - $3,000 = $250.00
$3,000 and up = $500.00
- If two bidders bid at the same time, the first bid that reaches the auction computer will be given the amount – the second bidder will be asked to bid the next available amount.
- Please review your bid BEFORE you click the BID button. CLICK ONCE to place a bid. Your bid will be visible the next time your page refreshes.
MAXIMUM BID OR AUTOMATIC BIDDING (Recommended)
- With automatic bidding you can enter your maximum bid, then sit back and watch. When you set your Maximum Bid, the auction automatically bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid, only if another bidder is bidding against you. Your maximum bid is kept confidential from other bidders.
- The system only bids on your behalf as necessary to keep you as the high bidder. If there are no opposing bidders, your bid will not advance.
- If another bidder has a higher maximum, you will be outbid.
- If the Lot closes for less than your maximum, that’s all you’ll have to pay.
- Placing a maximum bid keeps you from having to come back to re-bid every time another bid is placed.
- Using the single BID button will not be as quick as using the Automatic Bid.
- Due to slow internet connections, we cannot guarantee last second bids will get through every time. We strongly suggest utilizing the max/automatic bidding to ensure your bids are not delayed.
EXTENDED BIDDING
The auction will have a staggered close. If a bid is placed on a lot during the last minute on the time clock, the auction will go into extended bidding for that lot and another minute will be added to the clock to allow the under-bidder to respond. Bidding for that lot will not close until a minute passes without a bid being placed.
If no bid is placed on a lot during the last minute of the auction, that lot will close.
BUYER PAYMENT
After the auction has ended, you will be contacted by the CTHS to determine your method of payment:
- Cash
- Cheque payable to CTHS Ontario
- Credit Card (2.4% fee applies)
- Wire transfer (contact CTHS for details)
- Etransfer to [email protected]
