Information about the Derby-Auktion 2023
The time has come! Once again, Equine Marketing is pleased to offer you the perfect setting once again for the sale of your yearling in 2023. The 33rd edition of the ’Derby-Auktion’ for yearlings is coming up and, as always, offers breeders and/or vendors a first-class and exclusive opportunity to present their yearlings!
1. Date of the Derby-Auktion on August 05th, 2023
In 2021 we have had good experiences with the auction on the first Derby weekend. After consultation with vendors and buyers, the equalized operation on the second weekend due to the relocation brought up many positive effects. We have therefore decided to hold the auction again on the first weekend in 2023.
2. Further procedure, registration & deadlines
To register your yearling (born 2022) for this year’s Derby-Auktion, please send us the necessary information by e‑mail (a legible scan or photo of the form is also sufficient) by April 15th, 2023 at the latest to:
auktion@equine-marketing.de
Alternatively, we offer you the possibility of naming your yearling for the Derby-Auktion 2023 via our homepage www.equine-marketing.de under the menu item “Sell”.
After the deadline, the registration will be confirmed by Equine Marketing (BerlinTrab GmbH) by sending the contract documents. These must be completed, signed and returned to the above address latest by April 28th, 2023.
We would like to point out that yearlings may be rejected due to an excessive number of entries and/or the late return of the registration/contract documents to Equine Marketing!
3. Medical examination & vaccination
As in 2022, we would like to explicitly emphasise the topic of “medical examinations” once again. Whether in the registration process, on the auction day before the auction, but also afterwards. The presentation of a medical examination ensures:
- Transparency
- Buyer protection
- Seller protection
- Early detection and identification of possible defects
- Satisfaction in the purchase decision on the part of the buyer
- Decision support for the registration of your yearling
In the following we would like to recommend a guide of all relevant examinations of your yearling:
- General examination including heart and eye examination
- Inspection of the locomotor system
- For stallions: exclusion of cryptorchidism
Recommendation X‑ray examination:
- Front: Toe lateral 90 degrees (bilateral).
- Carpus: 0 degrees and 90 degrees (bilateral)
- Rear: Toe 90 degrees (bilateral)
- Tarsus: 70 degrees and 110 degrees (bilateral)
- Knee: approx. 100 degrees and 180 degrees (bilateral)
The x‑rays must be sent to Equine Marketing in digital form by email (cloud, individual images etc.) by July 28th, 2023. Your vet will be happy to advise you in that procedure.
IMPORTANT: Please also pay attention to the necessary vaccinations of your yearlings.
These can be found in the current version of the HVT statutes and regulations!
