OBS August revealed further weakness in the major commercial Thoroughbred marketplaces, and uncertainty of income for major investors in their primary professions, fueled by faltering campaigns for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Keeneland September remains to be seen, but it looks like the general trend we're seeing is that regional programs with improving state breeding programs are showing signs of life, while the bigger marketplaces like Fasig-Tipton and OBS are faltering significantly.
With an election on a few months away, this landscape may change, depending on who is elected President, and also what changes are made at state levels to improve incentives for state-bred programs.
As the regional markets become increasingly competitive with each other, the leadership in charge of these sales have opportunities to capitalize on their respective state incentives.
Technology always offers an opportunity for capitalizing on growth, and Thoroughbred Catalog is ready to help any regional sale company get the most out of their sale by providing multiple turn-key solutions to promoting their sale online through searchable, sortable cataloguing and the use of photo and video multimedia content to showcase your lots.
