Goshen, NY --- Prospective yearling buyers from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania attended a free seminar for those considering first time purchase of a yearling this past Saturday (Sept. 17) at the Goshen (NY) Yearling Sale. 

The seminar, free to anyone interested and geared toward those who presently or in the past have owned racehorses, covered topics like making a business plan, mapping out expenses, developing shopping strategies and staking procedures.

In the afternoon, class members headed to the stables to learn about conformation evaluation from Winbak Farm Yearling Manager Jim Ladwig.
