Overall, yearlings averaged 13% higher for 223 yearlings than the 2018 average of $23,623 from 228 yearlings. “It was a great sale,” said Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Association president Vince Genco. “We really like to thank all of our won- derful breeders, consignors, buyers and agents for making this such a great sale. Of course, I’d like to thank Dr. Ed Allred and his entire staff for the great hospitality.”
