  • 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.
