London, ON — The roster is set for the first edition of the London Classic Yearling Sale which will take place Tuesday (Oct. 18) and Wednesday (Oct. 19) at the Western Fair District Agriplex.

A total of 193 yearlings will be offered for sale at the London venue which last hosted an in-person sale in 2019.

“It is a very nice catalogue in my opinion and we are very happy with the way the new sale has been supported by the breeders and owners,” said Sale Manager Greg Blanchard. “We have a world class facility here and our team is really looking forward to hosting the first London Classic and welcoming our guests to London.”

Some of the high profile yearlings up for auction include Sorcha Seelster, a Big Jim sister to undefeated rookie sensation Stockade Seelster (5-for-5, $184,316), Great Bet, an All Bets Off brother to sub-1:50 pacer Enavant and Highland Baloo, an Archangel brother to $808,008 winner Godiva Hall.

The complete roster is now available here. Sale catalogues will be sent out in early September.

The LCYS viewing day will take place on Monday (Oct. 17) beginning at 10 a.m. The sale starts at noon both days with Hips 1-100 selling on day one and the remainder selling on day two. The Raceway will also host a special evening of live racing and dining on the Tuesday night program in conjunction with the sale with more details to come.
