It’s dream time again!

The annual Manitoba CTHS Yearling Sale takes place on Sunday, August 20 at 2:30 p.m. on the Red River Ex Grounds. Thirty-eight yearlings by 10 sires from 20 different consignors will go on the auction block on Sunday, and you can view all of them starting on Saturday, August 19 at 10 a.m.

Everyone will be looking for another Escape Clause ($866,100 earnings, $5,000 purchase price), Fancy As ($670,092, $3,200) or Hidden Grace ($309,671, $15,000), and there may very well be one. Or more!

The performances of more recently raced bargains such as Frank Arnason Memorial Sire Stakes winner Private Frank (Going Commando), who was a $1,000 buyback in the 2021 sale; R. C Anderson Memorial Stakes winner Russian Pearl (Nonios), who could have been had for $1,000 in the same sale; and CTHS Sales Stakes winner Justlemmeatem (Vengeful Wildcat), who was only bid up to $3,500 in the 2022 sale; are sure to generate even more attention among buyers.

Three-year-olds Private Frank and Russian Pearl have already earned over $50,000 and 2-year-old Justlemmeatem has earned over $30,000 in his first year at the track.

If we’ve learned anything from previous local yearling sales, it’s that Manitoba breeding and racing bonuses make everyone who purchases a Manitoba-bred a winner, and name players have just as good a shot of picking a stakes winner as the pros.

Horses can fool you.
