Springfield, OH – The Hoosier Classic Sale Company, in conjunction with participating consignors and corporate sponsors, will be offering a $5,000 yearling credit to three buyers at the Buckeye Classic Yearling Sale Oct. 7. The auction, located at the Champions Center Expo in Springfield, Ohio, offers 253 catalogued yearlings by Ohio sires.
The credits are limited to those potential buyers who visit and inspect yearlings at the facility the day before the sale (Oct. 6) and enter the drawing. Attendees who enter the drawing will be given a chance to win one of three $5,000 yearling credits to be used at Tuesday’s auction. The drawing is open to Monday’s attendees only and will close Monday evening at 8 p.m. The three winners will be announced Tuesday morning at 9 a.m.
The credit can only be used on any one or a combination of yearling(s) purchased from participating sponsor consignments. Participating consignments include Abby Stables, Clearview Farm, Dublin Valley Farm, Dundee Stables, and Mervin Burkholder Farm. CT Stables is also a sponsor and has yearlings selling in the Abby Stables consignment.
The credits have no cash value and are non-transferable. Any unused credit will be rolled over to the following year and added to that year’s sponsorships.
According to sale officials, “The idea is to increase traffic the day before the sale when consignors have more free time to showcase their yearlings. The participating consignors wanted to do something different and have stepped up to the plate.”
Most yearlings are expected to be on site by midafternoon on Monday. Visit www.buckeyeclassicsale.com to view pedigrees and available videos. Catalogues can be requested via the site or by calling 574-825-4610.
