The annual Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana Inc. Yearling Sale sponsored by the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association will be held September 29 & 30. Due to the number of horses consigned at recent sales, the LTBA has decided to forego the mixed session which traditionally followed the yearling sale. The sale will be limited to 450 yearlings which will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Additionally, the minimum sales commission has been increased to $250 per entry. With the number and quality of entries improving annually, the LTBA expects to present the best catalog yet for the 2008 sale.
The sale is returning to the Ike Hamilton Equine Exposition Center located in West Monroe, Louisiana. The 2007 Breeders Sale moved from Louisiana Downs to the "The Ike." The 40-acre site is a fully climate controlled event-arena, with 510 stalls all under one roof and includes office space with internet service and a pre-sale ring. The facility drew rave reviews from horsemen who appreciated the fact that the event was contained under one roof.
The sale will once again be web-cast on the LTBA website at www.louisianabred.com.
