“This was the best catalog in our sale’s history.  It was strong across the board and that made the sale so much fun for everyone.   The atmosphere was just so energized,” said sales manager Terri Carter.

“We’ve always tried to make the sale fun with food and music.  I think horse racing is often a family venture and its great to see these families together out selecting their next racing prospect.” Carter continued. 

Carter credited the $43,075 MSW purses at Remington Park as a driving factor in the strong market. 

“They are doing a lot of good things at Remington with capital improvements and the new Remington Park Racing Club designed to let people try their hand at race horse ownership with a small buy in for a group experience of owning and racing.  We are really lucky to be in a state where racing is doing so well, ”Carter said.
