quick horse prices questions

[Nikola]

(45,000gns vendor) - does this mean the horse is for sale? (110,000euros, foal 52,000euros) - does this mean he was bought as a foal for 52000 euros and now is worth 110000? why don't some horses have a price listed? thanks

Where did you see these prices Nikola? Not absolutly sure on the first one. Not sure where (45,000 gns vendor) would be. Maybe the seller (vendor) had to go to 45,000 guineas to prevent the sale in an auction. Or possibly the horse had a 45,000 lowest price he / she would allow for a sale . No it would not mean the horse is for sale. The (110,000 euros, foal 52,000 euros) means the horse was sold as a foal for 110,000 euros and then resold for 52,000 euros still as a foal. Had it said 110,000 euros, yearling 52,000 it would mean the second sale was when a yearling. Often the sum is followed by a letter, F= Foal, Y= Yearling, 2yo= year old etc. Whoever bought it first made a big loss on the horse. Usually the second figure is the larger. Some horses such as those owned by owner breeders or sold privately have not been sod at public auction so have no figure. None of these figures mean the horse is now worth that sum. These are the sums each horse was sold for at public auction. Hope this is of some help Nikola.
