Ohio is ranked 4th in the nation for horse population and is home to three of the top 10 Standardbred sales in North America. This makes the Standardbred industry one of the largest equine industries in Ohio. In fact, more Standardbreds were born in Ohio than in any other state in 2023.
As part of the culmination of the Equine Marketing class, Standardbred yearlings were sold at the 2024 Buckeye Classic Yearling Sale. The sale took place on Tuesday, October 8th at the Champions Center Expo in Springfield, Ohio. This event showcased the hard work and dedication of our students in the equine majors, and we are pleased to announce the successful sale of our consigned yearlings.
For our 9 consigned yearlings, the average was $9,889, which is above the overall sale average of $8,821. ATI Wild Side was our highest-selling yearling at $27,000. The colt was sired by Racing Hill and out of our broodmare Extreme Prejudice.
