With the November breeding stock sales deadlines for nominations fast approaching, now is the time to take one last look at your bloodstock portfolio with a critical eye to decide if there are any mares or weanlings you should consider culling from your herd or that might be at their peak price point.

The nomination deadline for Keeneland’s November Breeding Stock Sale is August 3, with the deadline for Fasig-Tipton’s elite one-day November Sale is August 21.

Bluewater has earned a strong reputation for getting the most money for their customers’ stock in a competitive buyer’s market. In the past three years alone, Bluewater has consigned six horses that have exceeded the $1 million mark, and they have out-performed the national average for broodmare sales over the past ten years.

Last year on behalf of their clients, Bluewater ranked in the top 3% of all North American consigners by broodmare prospect price and was a Top 5 consigner of broodmares by median of all major consignors.

You can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket, and the same goes for nominating your horses – nominating is your chance to buy a ticket. If you are at all considering selling any of your stock, it is worth a discussion to realistically explore what your options are and your expectations should be. Call Meg Levy at Bluewater today!
