Handicap (Class 6

THE INDIGO UNIFIED COMMS SELLING HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

Selling Stakes exist as an outlet for connections to sell their horses. Any horse that wins a seller, such as this fivefurlong handicap contest for three-year-olds and upwards, is automatically put up for public auction in the Winners’ Enclosure at the end of the race and goes to the highest bidder, so make sure to head that way after the race as the auction is usually well worth seeing.
