A total of 172 stallion nominations were offered in their twice-monthly Australian auctions last year, selling 138, from highly sought-after commercial sires right through the stud fee range to stallions standing for less than $5000.
As the 2016 breeding season approaches, studs and shareholders are again
starting to list stallion nominations on the site, the attraction being that
they receive payment within 48 hours of the end of the sale. Accordingly,
buyers can expect to snap up a nomination for less than the usual fee.In Bloodstockauction.com's current auction, the highlight nomination is to top class sire, Sebring . Recently announced as standing for $77,000 and with a tightening on his numbers, he looks set to have the 'Book Full' sign up in the very near future.
Last season, Bloodstockauction.com sold two noms to Sebring for $58,850 and $54,450 respectively, however the current offering has already exceeded that price, sitting at $60,000 plus GST and meeting reserve within the first 12 hours of the sale. With bidding open until next Tuesday, it will be very interesting to see what the nomination sells for.
Auctions are now conducted every week, alternating between Australia and New Zealand, and stallion nominations from studs based in both countries can be offered in either catalogue.
