Breeders Sales of Louisiana Sale Catalog Online

louisianathoroughbred

The Breeders Sales of Louisiana 2023 Yearling Sale followed by Mixed Session catalog is now online on the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association (LTBA) website.

 

The printed catalog is in production and will be in the mail mid to late August.

The Yearling Sale which will be followed by a Mixed Session under the banner of Breeders Sales of Louisiana, will be held on Thursday, September 28th at the Equine Sales of Louisiana facility in Opelousas, La.

Originally scheduled for Saturday, September 30th, the LTBA Board of Directors decided to move the date of the 2023 Sale to Thursday, September 28th, in order to attract buyers between the Keeneland and Fasig Tipton Mid-Atlantic Yearling Sales. LTBA hopes to  attract more nationally prominent trainers and buyers who have traditionally skipped the Breeders Sale to go to Fasig Tipton. 

The Breeders Sales of Louisiana 2023 sale has attracted its largest catalog to date since the LTBA jumped in to fill the void left by Equine Sales of Louisiana in 2021. The 2023 catalog includes 162 yearlings, 41 broodmares, 3 weanlings and 2 horses of racing age. 

In the 2022 Sale, 138 yearlings were cataloged with 18 withdrawn. 101 yearlings sold for a gross of $1,690,600 nearly doubling the 2021 gross of $898,000. The yearling average was $16,739 with a median of $10,000 another significant increase over 2021 average $13,027 and median $8,000.

Three weanlings sold for a gross of $20,000, one horse of racing age sold for $7,000, and nine broodmares sold for a gross of $67,800. The gross for the overall sale was $1,785,400.

“Louisiana Breds have been very popular at the sales around the country. Now with the introduction of Sports Betting and the coming of Historical Horse Racing Machines, we anticipate that purses for Accredited Louisiana Breds will increase dramatically. We expect the value of, and demand for Louisiana Bred yearlings to increase substantially as well,” says LTBA Secretary/Treasurer Roger Heitzmann, III

SALE DATE CHANGED!

BREEDERS SALES OF LOUISIANA
YEARLING SALE FOLLOWED BY MIXED SESSION
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28

 

In order to attract buyers between the Keeneland and Fasig Tipton Mid-Atlantic Yearling Sales, the LTBA Board of Directors has decided to move the date of the Breeders Sales of Louisiana 2023 Yearling Sale from Saturday, September 30th to Thursday, September 28th. A mixed session will follow the yearling sale. The decision to move the sale is based on the intent to attract more nationally prominent trainers and buyers who have traditionally skipped the Breeders Sale to go to Fasig Tipton. This will in turn help our consignors get the best prices for their stock.

Consignment forms for Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association’s 2023 Yearling Sale were mailed from the LTBA office last month. If you did not receive yours, you can call the office 504-947-4676, and we can mail you another or they may also be printed at home from the link below:

Consignment Contract

 

The Yearling Sale which will be followed by a Mixed Session under the banner of Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana, will be held on October 1st at the Equine Sales of Louisiana facility in Opelousas, La.

After not conducting a sale from 2015 through 2020, the LTBA stepped up to host a sale last year when Equine Sales Company decided not to conduct any sales in 2021. Last year’s sale was a tremendous success averaging just over $13,000 with a median of $8,000.

“Louisiana Breds have been very popular at the sales around the country. Now with the introduction of Sports Betting and the coming of Historical Horse Racing Machines, we anticipate that purses for Accredited Louisiana Breds will increase dramatically. We expect the value of, and demand for Louisiana Bred yearlings to increase substantially as well,” says LTBA Secretary/Treasurer Roger Heitzmann, III

“I expect this year’s sale to continue the momentum that started with the sale last year and anticipate an increased interest from both consignors and buyers,” states Tom Early, sales director.  “The increase in purses is due to be evident by the time this year’s yearling crop reach racing age.”

The entry deadline is July 6th.  Entries are limited to 228 due to the number of stalls at the Equine Sales Facility, so it is recommended that consignors enter early.
