I live in NY, work in racing in NY and ride show horses that come off tracks here. Had it not been for a lack of stall space, I'd have bought 2 or 3 last year at this sale. Both were mares, once brought no bid and the other went for $1k. I imagine that since the market overall is down, ALOT that the NY market will be too.
I saw some very nice yearlings out of major winners and producers, sired by very good sires draw pitiable bids in KY last month.
I let several of my "horseshow" friends know about this sale. Last year I walked through shedrows late in the day and was offered 4 or 5 horses for FREE, as long as I could get them off of the grounds. One was a great looking mare with a pedigree that sporthorse folks love. If breeders/sellers are that desperate to unload stock, I doubt that they would care if they go to a racing or pleasure riding/show home.
