Today At 12h00

The day has dawned!

Nobody’s suggesting times aren’t tough. But adversity is said to often present rare opportunity. And it may well be just the right moment to grab a golden flashlight, negotiate the scary end of the tunnel and head out into the bright sunshine of Mistico today for the Cape Mare and Weanling Sale.

We are all waiting in nervous anticipation for the opening of our markets. There are the inevitable naysayers. The industry often appears beset with all kinds of internal challenges. But it’s all cycles – and when the tide turns, will you be on the wave?

And let’s face it – few of us know or love anything else.

So let’s toss the conventional negative thinking out of the window, rip off the indecisive mask and go play it a touch bold.

After all, the fundamentals of good families, royal bloodlines and champions don’t suffer economics or petty political fools. And the 158 mares or fillies for stud, as well as 14 weanlings and a single yearling, will pass through the ring in what could be a game-changing moment for the lucky bidder.

There is ample diversity in the pages – with the one day sale featuring mares in foal to the likes of some international headline grabbers like Canford Cliffs, Duke Of Marmalade, Gimmethegreenlight, Master Of My Fate, Oratorio, Pomodoro, Time Thief, Var, Vercingetorix and What A Winter – and plenty more!

There’s surely something for every pocket and taste – but read more and make your own mind up.
