Rockwood, ON — After a summer in which Ontario sired horses captured the Meadowlands Pace, Hambletonian, William Wellwood Memorial and Metro Pace finals, the Ontario sired yearlings available at the Lexington, London and Harrisburg sales will once again be hot commodities.

Just over 600 Ontario sired yearlings will parade through sales rings in the coming weeks, with more than 110 available at the Lexington Selected Sale between Oct. 1 and 5, just over 300 at the London Selected Sale Oct. 19 and 20 and the remainder at the Harrisburg Standardbred Horse Sale Nov. 4 through 8.

In addition to the Ontario Sires Stakes program’s leading sires, Bettor’s Delight and Kadabra, buyers will find yearlings by 26 other stallions at the three sales. In addition to established stallions, buyers can look forward to the first crops from pacing stallions Control The Moment, Physicallyinclined and State Treasurer and trotting stallion Il Sogno Dream. Trotting stallion Crazed will also debut his first Ontario sired crop this fall.

“I am very much looking forward to this fall’s sales, starting with the opening session of Lexington tonight,” said Walter Parkinson, president of the Standardbred Breeders of Ontario Association. “The Ontario Sires Stakes has seen a lot of dominant performers this past season, with many of them stepping up and defeating the best that North America has to offer in Grand Circuit stakes action.”

Buyers selecting Ontario sired yearlings will have an opportunity to race in the lucrative 2020 Ontario Sires Stakes program. Complete details about the OSS program are available at www.ontariosiresstakes.com.
