Middletown, NY---Goshen Standardbred Horse Sales has announced that their 2023 yearling sale will be held on Monday, Sept. 11 at 12 p.m. (EST) at the Mark Ford Training Center in Middletown, NY. That is the Monday after the New York Sire Stake finals, which will be held at Tioga Downs on Saturday, Sept. 9.


The deadline for all consignments is Monday (June 12).


“Given our close proximity to Yonkers, we felt this sale date worked best for owners and trainers competing there to easily attend, as many will be in the area that weekend,” said Mark Ford. “We look forward to a more normal sale this year, but are ready to deal with any situation.”


The 2021 sale had to operate under the constraints of a global pandemic, but with many on-site enhancements and new remote bidding options, still experienced a very successful session. The difficult set of circumstances last year actually produced systems that will better suit GYS’s customers for years to come.


“We partnered with Cattle In Motion for the first time last year for online bidding and video services and that couldn’t have gone better. They were very efficient, very professional and they made the entire sale better than it has ever been. I believe this was the first Standardbred sale to take online bids and I felt it went very smoothly considering it’s never been done before,” said Ford.


“And it was also the first year for the Flippingbook version of our catalog which is particularly formatted for cell phone and tablet use. We received a lot of positive feedback about both of these improvements after last year’s sale and look forward to bringing them both back in 2022.”


This promises to be a deep and quality sale, anchored by a tremendous consignment from sale regulars Cameo Hills Farm, Winbak Farm, Blue Chip Farm, Vieux Carre Farm and the Silver Tradition Stable, who will be bringing an enhanced consignment this year. The Goshen Yearling Sale is also welcoming a consignment from Millstream Farm.


“With the improving Covid climate across the state, our hope is to operate as normally as possible this year. However we are ready to make accommodations for anything that may arise and will ensure a healthy and safe environment in which to purchase your next stake winner,” Ford said.


Since 2015, the Goshen Yearling Sale has brought quality New York-bred stock to the sales arena from the industry’s top breeders and have seen a host high speed, quality stake winners hit the track as a result. The sale has grown exponentially in both size and popularity each year and has become a favorite yearling venue for both the buyer and consignor.


The sales facility is located at 90 Slaughter Road, Middletown, NY, which is within a ninety-minute drive of many major race tracks and training centers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, making it a very convenient location. And it’s also only three miles away from the Harness Racing Museum and the Goshen Historic Track.

Goshen Yearling Sale Accepting Entries

The stakes season is just getting underway but a pair of three-year-olds who were purchased at the 2021 Goshen Yearling Sale have already been headline winners.


Thunder Hunter Joe (Huntsville-Thunder Angel) was victorious in 1:51 in a $50,000 division of the Paul Revere Stakes held at Plainridge Park on Thursday, May 4. The time was a new lifetime mark and it also set a new Paul Revere stakes record. After competing in the New York Sire Stakes final at two, Thunder Hunter Joe is now undefeated this year and in only seven lifetime starts has earned $83,950. Thunder Hunter Joe sold as Hip #41 for $39,000.


On Saturday, April 29, I Was Tricked (Huntsville-Shepulledthegoalie) won the $50,000 divisional final of the Bobby Weiss Series at Pocono Downs in 1:50.4, which was also a new lifetime mark for the gelding. He was unraced at two, but this year already has four wins in only six starts, including three straight victories in the series, with $54,960 on his card. I Was Tricked sold as Hip #33 for $55,000.


Thunder Hunter Joe and I Was Tricked are only two of many that will be competing from this class of Goshen Yearling Sale graduates that will soon be joined by many two-year-olds who went through the sale last year.


Since 2015, the Goshen Yearling Sale has offered high quality stock from top breeders including sale regulars Cameo Hills Farm, Winbak Farm, Blue Chip Farm, Silver Tradition Stable, Leatherstocking Equine, Pine Hill Stable and ThyWillBe Done Farm and Marie Houghtaling. This year will be no different and there is still time to enter yearlings in the catalogue.


The deadline is Monday, June 19 to consign horses to the 2023 Goshen Yearling Sale that will be held on Monday, Sept. 11 at the Mark Ford Training Center in Middletown, New York. 


“This year promises to be one of our best offerings in the history of this sale. Yearlings from proven sires that year after year have turned out solid racehorses as well as big stake earners and record-setters,” said Mark Ford. “The catalogue is filling up quickly with outstanding offerings that our customers will want to bid on. We are looking forward to welcoming another great crowd in September and will provide the best experience possible for both the seller and buyer.”


The sales facility is located at 90 Slaughter Road, Middletown, NY, which is within a 90-minute drive of many major racetracks and training centers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, making it a very convenient location.
