Title: Canadian buyers
Post by: Crash on August 23, 2026, 12:26:57 PM: I was at Mohawk in the weekend and had dinner with 3 Canadian owners/partners on the weekend. All 3 are declining to go to the USA due to our economic actions against their country. Do you think this effect is a common one in Canada and will it have a potential effect on the sales?

Would only matter if they were the top Canadian buyers.

most owners in Ontario will reduce USA purchases
the money is very good in Ontario and you do not have to spend a fortune to participate in it

Let’s wait and see where Lexington goes first and then we’ll see who has money left for Harrisburg

Post by: The Answer on August 23, 2026, 05:00:02 PM: Lexington is down from 116 to 67 Canadian bred horses this. Harrisburg must be full of them or the breeders decided to sell in Canada.
