The Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland Association initiated a meeting with Magic Millions Managing Director, Vin Cox, on the back of the tough results of the recent sales.
The QTIS 600 sale in April was the major talking point, after a number of vendors expressed concern about the large number of lots catalogued and the quality of some of the horses presented.
I’m pleased to announce that Vin has given a commitment to restrict the lots catalogued at next year’s QTIS 600 to 400-450.
“The key is getting the right horses,” he said.
“We want to get the right style on either pedigree or type and to do that we all really have to sit down and do the work.”
Vin said if breeders commit to providing the right stock then Magic Millions will support them.
“We don’t want to fill the QTIS 600 with average or poor quality horses, we want this sale to continue to have a good reputation.”
It was a very positive meeting and Vin was really open to the ideas put forth. I am confident that we will be able to work together to progress not only the QTIS 600, but all the sales, for the benefit of both breeders and Magic Millions alike.
We all want to move forward and this is certainly a step in the right direction. |
