Today's All aged harness racing sale at Karaka was like any sale really.
Stock by sires who are proven and hot were in demand whereas stock by unproven or stallions yet to make their mark were traded at less than stud fee on many occasions.
The biggest price among the broodmares was Trilby, an Artsplace mare who is very closely related to Chokin 1:56.2 ($1,801,685) and Changeover 1:53.4 ($2,426,765).
Trilby was not in foal due to having foaled a nice Somebeachsomewhere colt in January which was part of the package offered and which sold for $26,000 to Brent Mangos acting as agent.
The top priced weanling colt was Lot 44 who was a full brother to the smart three year old this season in Bettor Spirits 1:53.8 ($136,234) and he was knocked down to the trainer of Bettor Spirits in Mike Berger of Morrinsville.
The next best price was $35,000 paid by Lincoln Farms proprietor John Street for a colt by the stallion he owns, Sir Lincoln.
A lovely type, he attracted spirited biding before John Street prevailed.
The interesting part of his pedigree was that both the dam of Sir Lincoln and the dam of the colt were by Beach Towel and there was a close double up of Direct Scooter which has crossed so well with Beach Towel.
The highest priced filly was offered by Alabar and was a daughter of leading sire Bettor's Delight from a full sister to Gotta Go Harmony 1:55.5 ($205,910) and Gotta Go Cullect 1:57 ($87,682) while the second dam was the great age group filly Elect To Live 1:55.5 ($577,992).
She was sold for $28,000 to the Styx Stables of Christchurch who are long standing vendors at the yearling sales.
Plenty of weanlings struggled to make their service fee but still found a home as both Alabar and Woodlands studs met the market.
