7: BUYING YOUR FIRST RACEHORSE

Auction/Sales

Champion racehorses can come from humble backgrounds but are more likely to be found at major sales where yearlings are selected on pedigree and conformation and are considered the 'cream of the crop'. There are several major selling agents around Australia and auctions are held in city and country centres. Sales for 'Tried Horses' (horses that have raced) are also held regularly and there are usually yearlings and unraced horses offered at these sales.
