gavelhouse.com Standardbred representative Cam Bray is thrilled with the performance of the site and the momentum built over recent months "Judging by the site's traffic people are now accustomed to tuning in fortnightly to see what our latest offering is like and we have been consistently clearing in excess of 80% of entries," he said.
"As we approach the end of the year, this latest catalogue is going to be exciting to follow over the coming week with Heartland Farm entrusting us with some quality stock as they look to cut back on numbers,"
"There's a good cross-section of stock and I believe something for everyone in the market looking to add to their operations."
