Wanamaker's has released its December catalog, marking its sixth and last sale of the year. The catalog, found on wanamakers.com, contains weanlings, yearlings, broodmare prospects, and broodmares.
Since launching in June of this year, Wanamaker's has successfully hosted five online auctions in which weanlings, yearlings, racehorses, broodmare prospects, and broodmares have all been sold. The auction company's standout graduate to date has been Fiya, a 3-year-old Fresian Fire gelding, who commanded $400,000 from Rob Masiello and now has a four-race win streak, including the Maryland Million Turf Sprint Handicap.
Prospective buyers may browse the December catalog to view pictures and videos and schedule in-person inspections with sellers.
Live bidding will open at 8 a.m. ET Dec. 10, 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.
Wanamaker's contributes .1% of total sales to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and requires sellers to contribute .05% of their total sales to the TAA as well.
"Reflecting on the development, launch, and operations of Wanamaker's before and through COVID-19, Liza (Hendriks) and I really want to thank the industry, our sellers, and our buyers for putting their support and trust behind us. We are looking forward to this sale and continuing our monthly auctions in January of next year," co-founder Jack Carlino said.
