Looking for best Auction to sell a yearling
I have a yearling colt out of Master Missus (COMPETITOR-MASTER DERBY) by Foxhound (ALAURA-Foxhound) and I am debating whether I should sell him at the TX sale in August, the Heritage sale in OK in Oct. Any suggestions?

Based upon the pedigree I would go with Oklahoma. Your horse will be a small fish in a big pond at the TX yearling sale.
Depends strongly on where you are located. Your sale expenses could well eat up whatever you get for the colt. Try to sell him privately first and if no takers, geld him and put him into the Thomas Horseman's Sale in Feb. or early spring as a short 2 year old as a racing prospect. That sale is in Tulsa, Ok and run by Robert (if I remember right) and Betty Thomas, Sperry, OK. That too also depends upon what it is costing you to keep the colt from now until he is 2. You most likely won't see much difference between his sale price as a yearling vs 2-yr-old.
I've sold at the Texas sale and took an xxx-whipping & vowed to never return. One yearling' was out of a stake producer by a G2 SW of $800k sire, another's dam was 1/2 to 4 stakes horses by a G2 CA stallion that had run out 1M, the other was by a GSW son of Halo with the family of Valid Expectations (before he hit). If it ain't a KY bred, forget it. This sale still sucks.
