Colts by Race Day, Pollard's Vision top yearling auction in Oklahoma

A colt by Race Day and a colt by Pollard's Vision brought $30,000 each to top the Carter Sales Co., yearling auction Sunday in Oklahoma City. 

RA-MAX Farms purchased the Race Day colt, who is a half-brother to Welder, a multiple stakes winner of $374,151. 

David Rodawalt purchased the Pollard's Vision colt, who is a half-brother to the stakes-placed winners For All You Know and Stratagem. 

Both horses were consigned by Mighty Acres as agent for separate outfits. 

The sales company reported 50 of 78 yearlings on offer sold, for total receipts of $361,400. The buyback rate was 36 percent. The average was $7,228. Last year, the average was $9,137. 

“We offered one more horse than last year, but sold 12 less horses and our sales-topper brought $25,000 less than last year, so that will definitely affect your average,” sales manager Terri Carter said in a press release. “But we had the biggest crowd ever and the mood was really light.  I think the great racing at Remington Park and our graduates’ success is reflective in our results and our outlook on the future. Overall, it was a more balanced sale with consignors confident enough to hang on to their horses.”   

The auction also featured a mixed session for broodmares, weanlings and horses of racing age.
