Wanamaker's February Sale grossed a total of $86,000 and posted a sale average of $9,555; the online trade was powered by strong sales from the beginning of the Maccabee Farm dispersal. The sale was topped by the Triton Stables offering, Don't Blame Judy (Blame), a multiple stakes-placed racing/broodmare prospect who commanded a final bid of $35,000 from Jay Reese.
"We felt that this month's results showed once again that a robust marketplace is continuing to develop on our platform. The site's metrics and analytics are constantly growing and improving and we thank our users for that continued support," said co-founder Jack Carlino.
