This year marks the third year in a row that the hammer

has fallen in the fall at a Racing Quarter Horse Sale in

Central Indiana. The weather was perfect and the

facility at the Marion County Fairgrounds was as good

as it gets. The QHRAI had a great team of people

working up front and behind the scenes, It was obvious

A LOT of work and prep went into the 3rd Annual QHRAI

Speed Sale. Thanks to all of the QHRAI Directors,

horsemen and the great staff at the Marion County

Fairgrounds and Indy Riders 4-H Horse and Pony Club

for helping to make this a great sale!! The Catalog was a little thinner this year but by anyone’s standard

the best group of horses that have been offered. Great consignments from solid Owner and Breeding

operations, some of the Best Stallions from around the country as well as the best bottom sides not only in

Indiana but from around the country were represented throughout the pages of this year’s sale, and right

around 3pm the chirping of the Auctioneer began and the sale was off and running.

The mark was set when the first horse walked into the ring. Hip #1, an Indiana Bred FDD Dynasty

consigned by White Horse Ranch, was the high seller. Cindy DeLong had the winning bid for $11,000.

This colt was an outstanding individual by one of the hottest sires going and a bottom side to match.

Remember the name WH Shine On Down, a nice baby and this year’s high seller.

The QHRAI Speed Sale is without a doubt the place to go for a money making race horses in Indiana. WH

Johnnie Boy Red $109,000, WH Design By Dash $67,000, Romped $69,000, Bye Bye Corona $84,000,

Achieve the Speed $25,000, Dash Ta Win $38,000, A Royal Hare $35,000 are all Stake Horses who were

sold through our sale ring in JUST the first 2 years.

There is a Strong market for yearlings, this year 26 were offered and 18 sold, and a good guess is that 5 of

the 8 repurchases were there for “show not sold”. As far as other race prospects, we had some very nice

horses offered but there was a gap between seller’s

value and buyer’s value and we didn’t get many sold.

We run for nice purses in Indiana and it’s hard to

blame a consigner who wants a good price for a

good race horse. It seems that new comers and TB

owners and trainers are more willing to make an

investment in racing stock than long time QH racing

Hoosiers. Indiana Bred horses have one of the

highest average earnings in the country and JUST

LAST YEARS sale graduates have earned nearly

2013 QHRAISpeed Sale

$300,000. Breeding, Raising and Racing is great, noble and

something to be proud of, but getting a piece of the 300 grand is

pretty cool too.

On the other end of the racing stock spectrum, it seems as

though there is a solid $2,000 - $3,000 barrel market for not so

fast sound horses, from an outside perspective it seems a fair

trade. Selling Brood Mares is a NO – GO. If one was to guess,

the lure of the Fall and Winter Mixed sales in Oklahoma is just too

strong. We had, by far, the strongest line up of brood mares in

our 3 sales and they were in foal to some of the top stallions is

the nation, NO – Go. A similar situation exists for weanlings, we offered very nice weanlings and unless consigners

would take less than stud fee, the did not sell, hard to figure but facts are facts. All in All we had a GREAT sale, roughly

50% of the horses that went through the ring sold and sold for fair prices for all concerned. Like any sale there were some that

left you scratching your head.

Final Thoughts, YEARLINGS, YEARLINGS, YEARLINGS AND RACING STOCK. I don’t believe the QHRAI could do much more to accommodate breeders,

consigners and potential buyers, owners and trainers. The market in Indiana is relatively new, the QHRAI Speed Sale is going to be here for a long, long time

and eventually more owners and trainers will recognize that in the first 2 sales alone consigned horses have earned nearly $500,000.

Thanks to ALL the consigners and buyers for supporting the QHRAI SPEED SALE and we look forward to seeing you next year.
