  • Bjerke Travbane Fredag 6. September Og Lørdag 7. September. Forord Välkommen Till Årets Klasseløpsauksjon 2013 Över 160 Hästar Skall Auktioneras Ut Under Två Dagar
    Bjerke travbane Fredag 6. september og lørdag 7. september. Forord Välkommen till årets Klasseløpsauksjon 2013 Över 160 hästar skall auktioneras ut under två dagar. Detta visar på att våra uppfödare tycker att just klas- seløpsauksjonen är en viktig marknadsplats för att sälja sina uppfödningar. Det skall bli mycket spännande att se var snittpriserna kommer att hamna. Förra året såg vi en ökning av snittpriserna på kallbloden. Positivt var de höga snittpriserna på varmblodsstona. Precis som 2012 går varmbloden under klubban på fredag kväll och kallblod samt fullblod på lördag kväll. Som vanligt är det hög kvalitet på åringarna oavsett vilken ras de tillhör. Klasseløps helgen på Bjerke presenterar högklassig travsport med Derbyt och Kriteriet som höjdpunkter. Under åren har flera klassika vinnare sålts under auktionen. Det kan mycket väl bli att några av hästarna som säljs nu under fredagen och lördagen i framtiden står där som segrare i ett klassiskt löp. Förra året ökade vi auktionstältet med 300 kvadratmeter. Det blev lyckat så vi har samma yta i år. Minsta bud på hästarna är satta till 20 000 kr vilket är en skillnad mot tidigare då det var satt till 15 000 kr. DNT har arbetat hårt för att utveckla Norsk Trav sport och uppfödning. En del vad som genomförts och planeras kan man läsa om på sidan «Hvorfor eie norskfødt». Under lördag förmiddag bjuder vi på tre intressanta föreläsningar mellan 10.00-12.00 i Kurs och Konferens centrum på Bjerke. Se mer om det på sidan «Program Klasseløpsauksjon» 2013. Nästa auktion i Norge kommer i november då Folkehesteauktionen äger rum.

We are pleased and honored to bring the Breeders Crown back to the midwest and back to Indiana for the second time in the last five years. Hosting this event is a privilege and certainly a recognition of the hard work and dedication from our horsemen and horsewomen throughout the state. We value and appreciate the partnerships between Caesars Entertainment and The Hambletonian Society, The Indiana Standardbred Association, Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana, Indiana Horsemen’s Benevolent Association and Protection Association, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, the Indiana Legislature and of course, our racing fans and entire Harrah’s Hoosier Park team. Together, we have elevated the Indiana racing industry to new heights as witnessed by the success of the 2017 Breeders Crown event. This year has certainly presented its unique set of challenges but our team has remained committed to hosting a safe and exciting event for everyone to enjoy. This weekend, we are welcoming a reduced number of racing fans to Harrah’s Hoosier Park but will welcome thousands more watching from across the world. The stage is set and we are elated to showcase the best the sport of harness racing has to offer as they vie to solidify their place in Breeders Crown history.
