“I think it has been a good sale.<br />

“At Easter you have to bring the real horse and you get paid real<br />

money.<br />

“There is probably not as much speculative money from the<br />

trainers and syndicators. Agents and trainers that have principals<br />

are chasing the elite horses for those principals and there is plenty<br />

of depth in that side of the market.”<br />

Henry Field, Newgate Farm<br />

“The sale has been strong in terms of a combination of domestic<br />

and international money. I am surprised to see the strength of the<br />

international market, especially considering the strength of the<br />

dollar. We thought that this [international spend] might be slightly<br />

down, so it is pleasing.<br />

“In terms of our sale we have had a relatively strong, solid sort<br />

of sale. We have had nice hoses sell well and we have also had<br />

nice horses that have fallen through the cracks, but that is the sale<br />

“What we are really happy to see is horses by our young stallions<br />

being really well received. Sebring averaged $145,000, and Northern<br />

Meteor averaged $180,000 at the sale, so that is really pleasing<br />

“It is also pleasing to see business being done after a horse<br />

goes through the ring unsold. Buyers are still working hard to fill their<br />

orders and plenty of nice horses that have been passed in were then<br />

sold afterwards. I think that is healthy for the sale in general.”<br />

Ryan McEvoy, Widden<br />

“I believe the pool of popular horses is shrinking and the top ten<br />

percent are very hard to buy but the remainder of the catalogue is<br />

extremely patchy. You can quite often walk in with a decent horse and<br />

have no bid whatsoever. It shows where we are in the market place<br />

at the moment and I am still a big believer that service fees have to<br />

be reduced.”<br />
