MEXICO - SALES
The Select Quarter Horse Yearling Auc- tion XXXIII was held on Sept. 5 and 6 at the infield of the Hipodromo de las Americas, under the coordination of the Mexican As- sociation of Horse Breeders and Horsemen, AC (AMCCCCM), whose President Antonio Lobeto Tamez welcomed participants.
The corresponding book included 480 colts and fillies, of which 28 were withdrawn, and 452 were left in the ring under the direction
of auctioneer Frank Froese and supported by veterinarian Daniel Hernandez. The horses were consigned by 93 breeders from different regions of the country and are the offspring of 109 stallions.
The total sale had a value of $58,492,000 pesos ($3,276,468 US), which when compared to 2016 represented an increase in pesos of 8%, attributable to the 15.3% increase in the number of yearlings offered at the sale, since the average price per head fell by 6%. The advantage in
the exchange rate allowed for an average price reduction of 3.5%, measured in dollars.
Of the total handling, 238 individuals were sold (53%) and 214 repurchased in the ring (47%), for an increase of 10 percentage points in the proportion of yearlings sold in the ring compared to 2016. As a result, the repurchase level was reduced in the same proportion.
The nine breeders that offered the most yearlings (42%) were: Abelardo Gallegos (30); Rancho Hacienda Santiago (30); Salome Gal- legos (27); Cuadra La Presita (24); Joaquín Ramón Peláez (17); Armando León (17); Eve- rardo Múzquiz (15); Carlos A. Sosa Valencia (15); and Alberto Bailleres (14).
Of the 109 stallions (16 more than in 2016), the main representatives were: Sea Horse Co- rona (23); Native Poster (21); Southern Corona (16); Rabbits Rainbow (15); Jabuti Eagle (14); Aguero, Danny Cartel and Native Jewel DH (12 each); Cheetah Woods (11); and Choo Choo Smith (10). The 146 yearlings of the aforemen- tioned sires made up 32% of the offerings.
The highest average contributions were for the progeny of: Danny Cartel (by Co- rona Cartel), whose 12 yearlings averaged $371,666 pesos ($20,819 US), including Juanita Cartel, the second best price of the auction; Sambaso Dancer (by First Down Dash), with $319,285 pesos ($17,885 US)
for his seven yearlings; Jess Call Me Doc (by Mr Jess Perry), who presented three yearlings with an average of $297,333 pesos ($16,655 US); Fearless Fritz (by Shazoom) earned $242,500 pesos ($13,584 US) on average
for his four offspring; and Azyoucansee (by First Down Dash), the sire of Z Tynis Jess with a record price at the auction, averaged $231,000 pesos ($12,940 US). In summary, there were 11 stallions with an average price above $10,000.
Based on an agreement of its assembly, the organizing association of the event did not provide the detailed list of results of the sale by yearling for safety reasons for sellers and buyers. From our annotations, however, we compiled a list of the leading 15 individuals, which is part of this report.
Following is the detailed information of the three highest prices. The list is headed by the chestnut Z Tynis Jess (Lot 414), who closed at 880,000 pesos ($49,294 US). He was consigned by Rancho Hacienda Santiago and is a son of Azyoucansee by the mare Tinys Lil Jess (by Mr Jess Perry). He is the highest priced seller ever in the history of this event and exceeds the $850,000 pesos ($46,315 US) achieved in 2016 by N Alibi, also raised at Rancho Hacienda Santiago.
High seller Z Tynis Jess is by California Hi-Point 3-Year-Old Colt and Superior Race Horse Azyoucansee si 104, a son of First Down Dash out of Azures Cash by Band Of Azure. Azyoucansee is the winner of three races at four and the earner of $147,475 as a finalist in stakes in the United States. Azyoucansee is the sire of 139 racing-age foals, 66 runners, 33 winners of 73 races, including 5 stakes winners, includ- ing Holiday Handicap winner More Than You Know si 102 ($133,169) and Rocky Mountain Futurity-G3 winner I Cant See Jack si 99 ($125,303). Winner Tinys Lil Jess, the dam of high seller Z Tynis Jess, has earned $18,906. Of her two winning foals, Exquisite Stride si 101 stands out with seven wins in 13 starts and $257,978, including wins in the Miss Polly Classic Stakes-G3, Evangeline Downs Derby, Esplanade Stakes, a second in the Jerry Jaggars Memorial Stakes, and he was a finalist in the 2014 All American Futurity. He is currently running in his first race season in Mexico.
The second highest seller was the sor-
rel filly Juanita Cartel, Hip#416, bred and consigned by Cuadra La Presita and reach-
ing $800,000 pesos ($44,813 US). She is the daughter of Danny Cartel, a winner from 5 starts and earnings of $45,653. He placed and was a finalist in stakes in the United States. Danny Cartel is the sire of 48 race age individ- uals with 17 winners from 45 races and earn- ings of $432,257, with three stakes winners, including Soliat si 108, nine wins and two seconds in 11 starts with $147,091 (Mexican Breeders Futurity, Mexico Derby, Garañones Derby, etc., and a New Track Record setter at 300 yards in :14.90). This is Juanita Cartel’s full brother. Danny Cartel is also the sire of La Beduina Cartel si 102, winner of $58,575 and the Mexico Futurity.
The third best price of $640,000 pesos ($35,850 US) was brought by the sorrel colt LA Tori Cartel, Hip#267, consigned by Ramiro González Ozuna. He is a son of Hi Tori (a
full brother of the stallion Volcom), who was
second in the California Breeders’ Freshman Stakes and the winner of $40,326. Hi Tori
is the sire of 23 individuals of racing age, 5 winners of 17 races and $109,494, including Superior Race Horse Knight Tori si 112, earner of $84,893 and winner of Jack Clifford Stakes and a finalist in the KOFX-FM Handicap-G3.
In summary, in comparison to 2016, the trend showed an increase in the supply of yearlings (15.3%) supported by an increase
in the number of breeders (10.7%). However, the value of the offerings only increased by 8% across all yearlings auctioned, and average prices per head were up 6% once repurchases were removed from the statistics.
