In conjunction with New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Wanamaker's has released the catalog for the second annual New York-Bred Horses of Racing Age Sale. The sale seeks to provide buyers with the opportunity to secure high-quality, New York-bred horses for the end of the Belmont Park spring/summer meet and the Saratoga Race Course summer meet.
Bidding will open June 8 at 8 a.m. ET, with the first listing set to close at 5 p.m. Subsequent listings will close in three-minute increments. Detailed information on the buying process can be found at wanamakers.com/buy.
Last year's catalog featured Cairo Sugar, who went on to win the Maddie May Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack in February. Also offered was Be the Boss, who won at the 2022 Saratoga meet after being sold for $35,000 through Wanamaker's and recently won a starter allowance at Belmont Park.
