OK City Summer Yearling Sale - August 23, 2011
DOWNLOAD FULL SALE RESULTS
The mood was good at the OKC Summer Yearling Sale when consignors saw an increase in total sales and in average price. The fact that there was less distance between the top and the bottom and more horses over the $10,000 level produced a stable feeling in a month where markets have been more like roller coasters.
Two horses in Red Earth Training Center’s Consignment topped the sale at $15,000 each. Hip 55, a colt by Pleasantly Perfect out of a Forest Wildcat mare, was purchased by Ray Kirk.
Van and Margie French took home the other sales topper, Hip 76, an Artax filly out of a Summer Squall mare. Both yearlings were part of the Red Earth consignment for John and Barbara Smicklas.
“I think we experienced the same stabilization in the market that has been seen in other sales,” said Sales Manager Terri Carter.
“We cataloged 8 less horses but had 77, one less than last year, go through the ring. We sold 42 which is two more than last year, but increased our average.”
The average sales price was $5,451 compared to $5,248 last year. The total sales of
$228,950 was up nearly $20,000 over last year and the mean saw a 4 percent increase.
“Our highest seller didn’t reach the $27,500 of last year but we had a lot more horses bring over
$10,000,” Carter said.
The second highest seller was Hip 39, a Nobiz Like Shobiz colt out of a Jaklin Klugman mare. Agent Lynn Chleborad selected the $13,000 colt for Alan Poindexter from the Bigheart Thoroughbred consignment.
The yearling sale had two winners of the Oklahoma Classics and OK Stallion Races on this year’s catalog cover. The stakes winning fillies, Miss Natalie (Fistfite/ It’s the Berries, by Slew the Slewor) has made
$107,246 for Gar Oil, trained by Joe Offolter. Miss Kipling (Kipling/Our Liebling, by Clever Trick) has earned $96,201 for the Bret Calhoun trained connections of Young Stables and K & J Hall.
“When we started this sale five years ago, our goal was to put these nice horses in hands that would race them. We’ve done that and we even had more winners opening weekend at Remington Park.”
“This was the best overall catalog from black type to individuals to x-rays. With maiden special weights running for $33,400 many consignors decided to keep them and run them, but we think the stabilization in the market is a great sign for the upcoming sales and next year,” Carter said.

In Training Sale - June 7, 2011
Remington Park’s best ever purses had consignors at the second annual In-Training Sale at Remington deciding they would keep 50 percent of the horses and run for the money when the fall meet opens on Aug. 18.
Averages increased slightly for the 12 head sold but the buyback rate increased to 50 percent from the 38 percent seen in 2010.
The large crowd at the 5p.m. event saw the Thoroughbreds bring an average of $10,008 up from the inaugural sale’s $9,792.
An Ocean Terrace filly out of a Kipling mare topped the sale at $19,000 for Calle Real Thoroughbreds. The filly breezed 3/8 in 34.2 on Monday and was the top pick for Harmony Stables.
“Racing is just so good here. With maiden special weights running for $34,000 and over $800,000 in Remington Park’s two-year-old series, it makes owners want to race them,” said sales manager Terri Carter.
Carter also credited the new ruling making all 2009 Oklahoma Bred horses eligible for the Million Dollar Oklahoma Classic Races as another reason owners are choosing to race rather than sell.
“We’re a new sale so the idea of selling one or two has to catch on here. But we did increase in numbers and quality this year.”
“The horses couldn’t have been any better prepared so whether they sold or were retained by the owner, they should be ready to compete as soon as Remington opens,” Carter continued.
