For many investors who bid at yearling sales, buying a yearling is seen as purchasing a ticket in a lottery. While this comparison holds some truth, it only scratches the surface of whatās involved in selecting a potential harness racing champion.
Despite evaluating pedigree and inspecting for conformation, several critical factors remain a mystery, like the size of the horse’s heart and lungs or the all-important competitive spirit, none of which are evident in the sales ring.
In a sense, purchasing a yearling like Leap To Fame, Catch A Wave, Swayzee, or Don Hugo was like buying a winning lottery ticket. These APG graduates have collectively amassed nearly $7 million in earnings. Similarly, two of North America’s greatest pacers of the century, Somebeachsomewhere and Bulldog Hanover, were relatively inexpensive buys at just $68,000 combined. Yet, they went on to build legendary careers, earning a combined $5.63 million between them for their connections.
So, while buying a yearling has the potential to make the dream of owning a champion a reality, the joy of ownership isnāt limited to the āhome runā horse. The thrill of racing, combined with the generous incentives tied to yearling sales, offers plenty of excitement even without finding the next superstar.
