The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Ontario) (CTHS) is pleased to announce the 2025 Canadian Premier Yearling Sale will take place on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.  In collaboration with Woodbine, the sale will be hosted at the Woodbine Sales Pavilion this year and again in 2026.

As one of the most anticipated events in the Canadian Thoroughbred industry, the sale offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers to acquire top-quality yearlings bred for success on the track. Each year, the auction attracts owners, trainers, and bloodstock agents from across Canada and beyond.

Last year's sale demonstrated the continued strength of the Canadian breeding program, with competitive bidding and strong sales figures highlighting the demand for Canadian-bred talent.  The 2025 edition promises to continue that tradition, providing an exceptional opportunity for buyers to acquire future champions and for breeders to showcase their finest yearlings.
