A large turnout for the Tattersalls July Mixed Sale at the Meadowlands race paddock Sunday, July 15, helped to boost sales as 88 horses sold for $1,502,800, a 16 percent increase over last year�s gross sales. The sale averaged $17,077 with a median price of $11,000.

�People need horses. There are racing opportunities so many places. I think the crowd was the best we�ve had at that sale ever,� said Geoffrey Stein, general manager of the sale.

Gospel 3, 1:59.4f, a 3-year-old daughter of SJ�s Caviar who was unraced at two, topped the sale with an $80,000 bid from George Hobbs of Harrington, Del. Preferred Equine Marketing consigned the filly who has two victories in six starts this year.

�The strength of the sale was across the board,� added Stein.

The sale consisted of mostly 2, 3 and 4 year olds with a few older horses also included.

The total consignment was split between 63 pacers and 25 trotters with the pacers bringing a $17,811 average and the trotters averaging $15,228. Fillies and mares topped the sale by average with four trotters bringing a $27,875 average and 20 pacers averaging $19,410. There were 43 male pacers who averaged $17,067 while the 21 trotting horses averaged $12,819.

The top selling pacer was the 3-year-old Artsplace gelding Red Hot Yankee p,2, 1:55.1 who sold for $77,000 to Carmine Fusco. Consigned by Preferred Equine Marketing, he is out of a daughter of Simply Ravishing p,3, 1:54 ($547,035) and is eligible to several remaining top stakes.
