I’ll be able to show the link to them in July.

in the The Foal Session is locally talked about; perhaps, the colt might fetch $2m because this is the first time that a sibling of the past 6 triple crown winners in Japan has been up on auction lists. His conformation really looks like his brother.

Walking video clips for both yearlings and foals have been added to the list.

The Day One Result:
Out of 156 yearlings, 122 were sold, and both the total amount ($29m) and the ratio 122/156=78% were better than those for last year.

Great photos; why does horse number 1 look so much more mature than the others? I would love to be able to look at a horse and know about conformation etc but, alas, it’s beyond me.

Great photo’s. Especially like number 2! There is obviously still some money around for the good yearlings.
