And there was me thinking horsemeat was used in lasagne because it was cheaper than beef?

Record Smashing Sale
Sunday, October 08, 2017

The Lexington Selected Yearling Sale concluded Saturday with new records in all categories — gross, average, median and number of yearlings sold for $100,000 or more.

After 25 years of managing yearling sales at the Fasig-Tipton Pavilion, Randy Manges has never witnessed an auction as gratifying as the 2017 Lexington Selected Yearling Sale which smashed records in all categories — gross ($36,410,000), average ($58,537), median ($42,000) and number of yearlings that sold for $100,000 or more (103).

“It has been a very fun sale to watch,” Manges said of the sale, which he manages with David Reid. “Dave and I put a lot of time and effort into it. This has been my 25th sale here and it’s been very rewarding. I’ve never had one where I felt better about the sale.”

Reid was similarly pleased with the results.

“It’s the highest grossing sale since the merger, since Lexington Selected was formed by the merger of Tattersalls Yearling Sale and the Kentucky Standardbred Sale in 2005,” Reid said. “It’s very satisfying for everybody within the company, I can assure you of that. It takes support from your breeders and support from your buyers. The record speaks for itself in the number of major stakes winners that the sale produces.”
