Mississauga, Ont. – Standardbred Canada and Forest City
Standardbred Sales Inc. are proud to announce that agreement in principle
has been reached to combine the two yearling sales into one which is scheduled
to take place at the Western Fair District Metroland Media Agriplex in London,
Ontario on the weekend of October 14th and 15th 2017.
The two parties have been in discussions since early December with
the focus of creating a high quality event showcasing the best yearlings to our
buyers under one roof over two days.
Standardbred Canada President and CEO Dan Gall states,
"This is a wonderful step forward working with our industry partners to
create something special and to promote and showcase our horse racing industry,
to not only Ontario but across Canada and North America."
Forest
City Yearling Sale President and Sales Manager Ann Straatman commented
about uniting the two sales, “With fewer yearlings available, it only makes
sense to coordinate our efforts to create one sale event for our customers.”
Heather Reid, Sales Manager of the Standardbred Canada Sale added, “I am
looking forward to working with our sellers and Forest City Sales to present a
best in class Yearling Sale.”
The two parties will begin working on further planning
immediately. Additional information, for all interested owners and
consignors wishing to enter their yearlings into the London Selected Yearling Sale, will be available in the near future.
