RACE DESCRIPTION Selling races exist as an outlet for connections to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a ‘seller’ such as thisrace, is automatically put up for public auction in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder. The auction is often well worth seeing, so make sure to head that way after the race.
