Five of the 16 Lots harness racing have their reserve met flags up in the latest gavelhouse.com Standardbred auction with bidding set to close from 7pm tomorrow (Thursday 31 March).
With a number of Lots racing last night at Manawatu, there was plenty to be pleased about with Taliesin and Piiki Whara both winners while Bender, Immer Besser and Mosaic Art featured in the minors.
The above bar Bender are all trained by Michael House who bought a big team North for the meeting.
“They have all pulled up particularly well and are set to back up at the Thursday meeting,” said House.
“There is still plenty of upside to the horses we have for sale and a lot of them will suit the Cambridge and Auckland style of racing so this is an opportunity to add to your team while not having to fork out for the extra freight in bringing them up from our base down South.”
Bidding will close from 7pm tomorrow, Thursday 31 March.

Following are some bidding tips to help you navigate the process.
- Lot 1 will close from 7pm. If a bid is placed in the final 30 seconds, another 30 seconds is added onto the auction and to all subsequent Lots. This will keep happening until there are no further bids placed.
- If you are are outbid, you must type in the next bid amount, the site does not automatically update the bid amount for you.
- There is no benefit in letting auctions run down to the last second before bidding as the auction will just keep auto-extending until no further bids are placed. This practice increases your chances of missing out on horse.
- gavelhouse.com cannot identify loss of online connection, a slow internet connection or browser issues at the user’s end. Even a slight loss of internet connection that may not be noticeable can interrupt the user’s browser in following the sale in real-time therefore setting up an auto-bid is the best way to ensure your bids are placed.
