Wanamaker's Releases Catalog for Second Online Auction
Description:
After a successful first online auction, Wanamaker's has released its second catalog, unveiling an increase in both quality and quantity.
Attention is sure to be drawn to the catalog with the entry of Fiya, a 3-year-old gelding by Friesan Fire who is two-for-two on the year, posting a 98 Beyer Speed Figure and a 9 on the Ragozin Sheets in his last performance on July 17. Fiya's 98 Beyer is the second fastest by a 3-year-old on the turf this year.
The catalog, found on wanamakers.com, also contains yearlings, a 2-year-old racing prospect, racing/broodmare prospects, and broodmares. Being sold by SF Bloodstock is the multiple stakes-placed mare Assemble, who is in foal to first season sire Catalina Cruiser on a March 1 cover. Haymarket Farm is offering racing/broodmare prospect Kitten's Finest, a full sister to three stakes winners and five stakes performers.
Prospective buyers may browse the catalog to view pictures and videos and schedule in-person inspections with sellers. Racehorse entries also contain DRF past performances, Ragozin Sheets, and race replays. Buyers must register for an account to be able to bid.
Live bidding will open at 8 a.m. ET on July 30 and the first listing will close at 5 p.m. ET with subsequent listings ending in three-minute increments. Detailed buying information can be found at wanamakers.com/buy.
"Our sellers deserve a tremendous amount of credit for helping us to build a quality and diverse catalog. I feel that this catalog displays the advantages afforded by online auctions whether that be the timing or ability to maximize exposure with significantly less risk financially and to the horse," said Co-founder Jack Carlino.
