The first central European auction of quality English thoroughbreds took place in Pardubice, Czech Republic last Friday.
Horse breeders could purchase thoroughbreds for their stables in Pardubice for the first time in 30 years in the auction that was held two days before the Grand Pardubice steeplechase.
“I firmly believe that the auction will help increase the prestige of the Pardubice horse racing stadium regardless of how many horses were sold. It is necessary to realise that this is the first auction after many, many years,” sais, Jiri Kunat, director of the Racing Society, a co-organisers of the auction.
According to Kunat, auctions in Pardubice could be held twice a year, in
spring and autumn.
