bid at the Royal Crown Horse Sale. The focus has
been shifted from uncertainty to a more realistic
investment.
"In the six and under classes, the $100,000 sale
graduate payback is split $25,000 in the barrel racing
futurity, $25,000 in the derby, $25,000 in the calf
roping and $25,000 in the team roping," Zancanella
said. "Those colts have a chance to come compete
three years or so for that money as well."
August 9 in Rock Springs, Wyoming the Royal
Crown Horse Sale will be held in conjunction with
Royal Crown Rock Springs. The eleven-day event
begins on Tuesday, August 6 with the barrel racing.
Roping events run from Tuesday, August 13 to Friday
August 16.
The horse sale begins with a preview and dinner on
Thursday, August 8, and the sale is Friday evening at
6 pm.
"As of right now, we're looking at around 40 to 45,
so we are growing our numbers. The biggest thing
is I see is better quality colts coming to our sale,"
Zancanella said.
Additionally, the Royal Crown comes with no
nomination fees. If a horse is sired by a current
Royal Crown stallion, horse owners only must
enter. By aligning breeding programs with market
demands and training standards, initiatives like the
Royal Crown horse sale not only seek to facilitate
transactions but also to elevate the overall quality
of horses in the industry. They bridge the gap
between breeding excellence and market readiness,
ultimately benefiting breeders, buyers and the horses
themselves.
The team's forward-thinking approach ensures that
the Royal Crown will continue to set benchmarks for
excellence and innovation in the industry.
The Royal Crown stands as a testament to the
power of well-designed incentive programs in the
industry. Under the stewardship of Matt Zancanella
and Lindsey and Levi O'Keeffe, it has delivered
remarkable returns on investment for stallion owners
and breeders alike. Buyers now have added benefit
to purchasing horses out of the Royal Crown sale,
too, set to take place on August 9. As they prepare
to expand their sales efforts by increasing payout,
the future of the Royal Crown looks brighter than
ever, promising continued growth and success for all
involved.
