It’s truly incredible that the 2021 APG NATIONAL MIXED SALE can harness so much positive energy and passion. This will go a long way towards confirming the real excitement about the sport moving forward.
Significant harness racing participants, leaders and keen followers will be blown away by the strength of the bidding and levels of interest in this event that’s due to start at 10am tomorrow and close Sunday at 5pm.
The previous record of $4.5 Million dollars in bidding credit requests is set to be smashed at the current rate on bidding approvals being processed. This amazing event is a “must to go” in the calendar. It promises to offer some intriguing viewing come this weekend.
While this may come as a little surprise to some, it’s certainly no surprise to the hard-working friendly team at APG. The team is headed up by David Boydell and he has a clear understanding that the true hero’s so far are the wonderful consignors that have put their faith in APG and this remarkable concept. APG, along with a large percentage of consignors, believe the best way forward with this format is to set “very achievable” or “no reserves” and let the market determine their real value.
It’s a formula that will hit the mark over the weekend and will see lots fly passed their reserves, hit their reserves or be only one bid away from their reserves early on. A leading female buyer in the sport based in Queensland told us today, “it’s a sale that’s got me so enthusiastic about the sport of harness racing again because most vendors are being more than fair”.
An example of this is the Yirribee Stud which was established in 1985 by Rod Woodhouse and the late Ian Walsh. It was officially opened in 1986. Yirribee now celebrates over 30 years in the breeding industry. Now headed up by Rod Woodhouse and his partner, Dianne Sutherland, Yirribee Stud has entrusted the team at APG to handle a reduction in the studs numbers, now entered in the 2021 APG NATIONAL MIXED SALE . We really appreciate Rod, Dianne and all those owners that have supported this very exciting event over the last 4 years.
