Bloodstock Auction celebrates 100th Online Thoroughbred Auction

Media Release - Friday September 1
Launched in December 2014 after 3 years of development Bloodstock Auction has just celebrated their 100th Online Thoroughbred Auction.

"We're excited that we have reached 100 Auctions and our 101st Auction is now online with over 170 Thoroughbred's on offer" said Anthony Gafa (Director of Bloodstock Auction).

"Since our very first auction we have sold well over 5,000 horses with more than 1,000 horses sold this year just in Australia, and our clearance rate is over 70% and turnover has past $14 million.

We're very proud of the service we provide our members and to the Thoroughbred industry and reaching our 100th Auction was a fantastic milestone" said Anthony.

Put this all together and you can clearly see why Bloodstock Auction remains Australasia's Number 1 Online Thoroughbred auction site, despite several unsuccessful "copycat" attempts to replicate the business model and platform.
