Back to listsWill Fresh 2 Year-olds Be Bought In 2021?
By Race-goer | 08-May-2020If there is not going to be any racing till the end of 2020 (as is being touted), owners will suffer huge losses having missed out on the stake money of the Bangalore Summer, Ooty, Pune, Calcutta and Hyderabad monsoon seasons as well as the beginning of the Mumbai 2020-21 racing season. If that will be the case, will the owners be in a position to buy new 2 year-olds at the sales (both private and public auction) around February 2021 ? If the 1000-odd fresh 2 year-olds are not sold, what will the breeders do with such a large number of young and potentially non-productive horses, keeping in mind that the next crop of 1000-odd yearlings (one-year-olds) are already being nurtured at the farms. Your valuable opinions, my friends on this pertinent topic.
