Events - Hong Kong International Sale

Saturday, 10 December 2005

The Hong Kong International Sale (HKIS) is a thoroughbred horse auction organised by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The 11th HKIS will be held at the Parade Ring in Sha Tin Racecourse, on 12 December 2005, 5:30 pm. This year's HKIS will feature a catalogue of 30 horses from some of the world’s most renowned thoroughbred sales.

Last year, a total of 19 lots were sold for HK$43,000,000, or an average of HK$2,263,158. A Bonus of HK$ 1 Million will be awarded to the 2005 HKIS graduate that has the highest cumulative prize money earnings at the close of the 2006/2007 racing season in Hong Kong. Good Ba Ba, last season's Champion Griffin, leads the race for the bonus for horses from the 2004 auction. Great Achievement, the winner of the bonus from the 2003 Sale, won in Class 2 on November 1 and has earned over HK$4.4 million to date. Meanwhile, Scintillation, the previous season's highest earner, has amassed almost HK$13m in prize-money with victory in the Gr.1 Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Classic Mile the highlight.

Being the only auction of its kind in Hong Kong, HKIS will surely offer a fantastic and unique opportunity to experience the thrilling excitement of a real live auction.
