Sales Consignment
Chesapeake Farm has built an enviable reputation as one of the most consistent active consignors in the industry. Since its founding in 1986, the agency has sold some of the most coveted horseflesh ever available at public auction. Those successes including the sale of Maplejinsky for $2.7 million when she topped the 1994 Keeneland November bloodstock sale.
The nation’s second highest % of Grade I Stakes Winners from yearling sales.
TBH MarketWatch, June 8, 2007
Known for its honesty and integrity, the Chesapeake Farm sales agency annually generates results at sale that rank among the leading consignors in several important categories. When one compares purchase price to earnings, Chesapeake graduates annually produce a more favorable rate of return than most other high-profile consignors. And at many important sales in New York and Kentucky, Chesapeake has for decades sold a higher percentage of stakes winners and graded stakes winners than nearly anybody else in the industry.
