Standardbred Horse Sales Company

The Standardbred Horse Sales Company office will be closed on November 26 & 27 to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. We are all thankful for our great customers and staff!

Our 82nd annual #BlackBookSale is officially in the books, and, looking back on the past week, we're continuously thankful to everyone who made it such a success even in such an undoubtedly difficult and unusual year! Over the course of the five days, 1,219 horses were sold for a gross total of $42,360,000. While down from last year, the average horse sale price of $34,769 ranks as our fourth-highest sale average since at least 2002. THANK YOU to all of our consignors, buyers and team members, the staff at the Timonium fairgrounds and so many more! Best of luck to all horses in their new homes, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2021!

Thank you all for another great day of our #BlackBookSale! Here's a look at our final day's top sellers: 1 #1817 Sister Sledge (Father Patrick-Behindclosedoors) - $265,000 2 #1400 Philly Hanover (Captaintreacherous-Paris Hanover) - $225,000 3 #1370 Love Muffin (Andover Hall-Pine Yankee) - $200,000... 4 #1408 Wine Rack Hanover (Kadabra-Winbak Maya) - $170,000 5 #1472 Sea of Life (Captaintreacherous-Fresh Idea) - $150,000 6 #1390 She Rocks Kemp (Kadabra-Southwind Adele) - $130,000 7 #1458 No Quarter (Somebeachsomewhere-Take That Hanover) - $140,000 8#1394 Grimmie Hanover (Cantab Hall-Girlie Tough) - $110,000 #1404 Dip Me Hanover (Donato Hanover-Dancing For Money) - $110,000 #1342 Oracle (Father Patrick-Passionate Glide) - $100,000 See more
