Barretts Equine Ltd. will conduct the Barretts Classic I, a sale of selected horses of racing age, on the evening of October 26, the day after this year’s Breeders' Cup World Championships concludes at nearby Santa Anita Park.

“Once it was announced that Santa Anita would host the Breeders Cup two years in a row, we began to seriously consider putting on a special event,” said Barretts’ President Jerry McMahon. “The timing of the sale and our close proximity to Santa Anita should help us to attract the kinds of horses that will appeal to buyers in town for the major Breeders’ Cup races. The fact that we will have two years in which we can leverage our marketing and promotion makes this a unique opportunity.”

Barretts will conduct its annual fall mixed sale beginning the following day, October 27. Barretts is headquartered at Hinds Pavilion in Pomona, California, next to Fairplex Park.

Closing date for entries for the new sale will be September 5, and further details will be made available in the near future. For further information, contact Barretts at (800) 467-7379.
