Parentage Authentication

All animals have been or are in the process of being blood typed or DNA tested for parent verification. Copies of the results of fully processed blood typing or DNA tests are available in the sales office. Should any of the results of currently unprocessed blood typing or DNA tests prove to be negative (that is, the yearling does not qualify for the catalogued parentage), the buyer shall return the animal immediately to the consignor, the sale shall be null and void, and the consignor shall pay all costs of said return. Upon return of the yearling pursuant to this paragraph, neither the buyer nor the consignor shall have any claim against the sale company for any damages.

Announcements from the Auction Stand

In case the consignor wishes to amplify or correct any information contained in the catalogue and so advises the company, an announcement to that effect will be made from the auction stand immediately prior to the sale of such horse. Please pay particular attention to such announcements as they will take precedence over anything printed in the catalogue.

Stakes Engagements

Where a consignor reports futurity or stakes engagements, a memorandum of these engagements (if any) is printed under the pedigree of each horse as reported to Winner’s Circle Speed Sale LLC. Winner’s Circle Speed Sale LLC and those compiling pedigree information for the catalogue are not responsible for any errors, misstatements or omissions in the engagements so published in the catalogue. Winner’s Circle Speed Sale LLC does not and will not accept any responsibility as to the eligibility of any horse. The consignor is the responsible party for all such statements of eligibility, including those statements authorized by the consignor regarding the eligibility of the horse from the auctioneer on sale day. It is the consignor’s responsibility to bring all printed errors to the attention of the auctioneer so that any such errors may be announced and corrected. The consignor is at all times responsible for the identity of all horses consigned by them. There is no liability assumed by purchaser for any future payment in stake events. Payments may be made at purchaser’s option, but must be made when due to keep the entry eligible. All payments when made are forfeits. We advise all purchasers to contact each stake sponsor to make them aware of the change of ownership and address.

Unless paid for in cash, the company will place a hold on the transfer process with the USTA for each horse until all monies have been received and processed, at which point the hold will be released.
