Abstract

This article uses the data of 10 auctions from the two largest Australian auction houses to study how a racing horse is priced. We ask whether bloodline is indeed a determining factor. We find that the track record of its parents and siblings are important factors in determining the price of a yearling. Moreover, more mature horses and those purchased by foreign buyers are generally more expensive. We also show that racing horses sold in the flagship auctions are associated with a significant premium.
