Heather Reid Quotations

The sale was a first for us and we were very happy with the end result,

I get the best of both worlds. I work as a scientist during the day, and then become a TV presenter during the evening. The working environments are completely different, and 1 thrive on the contrast.

The new format of our yearling sale was the first major change introduced this year to SCs sales, ... Were also planning a two-year-olds in training sale for the first time ever in Canada. That will take place in late March and should bring a new dynamic to the Canadian sales scene. Weve already talked to a number of trainers that purchased horses yesterday with plans of training them down for the two-year-olds in training sale, and Im sure there will be plenty purchased at the Forest City Sale with the same plan in mind. Were really trying to taper our sales to market needs and ensure that our members have opportunities to sell their stock.

Unfortunately Woodbine Racetrack is not a venue that will be available for this year's sale, but we're thrilled to be able to offer the Canadian Open at a terrific facility like Country Heritage Park. We've been hosting the auction on Sundays in recent years, but a Wednesday format allows us to proceed with as little inconvenience as possible to horsemen and potential buyers.

The forecast has changed dramatically during the past 3 years. I get involved in new ideas, production and graphic design. It's scientific, challenging and most importantly, great fun!

The crowd was excellent and, as usual, high quality yearlings sold well and poor quality yearlings did not.
