On Sunday afternoon there was a show horses in Janow. Potential buyers can see them up close, to decide whether and which horses to buy. At the auction, however, they ran out of many well-known buyers, who have appeared in recent years, including the wife of Rolling Stones drummer Watts Shilrey and merchants from China. There came the serious buyers from the US and Saudi.
Auction was not carried out either normal or fair
The auction was exposed to sale of top-class horses of the Arabian state stud in Janow Podlaski, Michaels and Bialka and having private owners. Among them, the star auction emir. It is this mare received in the auction of 550 thousand. euro. However, it turned out that the buyer fails to go after her. Then the organizers made a surprise decision. Announcement of a new bidding and come here … to barely 225 thousand. euro.
As he says, “Election,” the former president of Janow Podlaski Stud, dismissed by Justice in February 2016. Marek Trela, “it was not normal, nor fair.” – In such cases, you should instead report to someone who gave this horse a lower rate, eg. 540 thousand., So it appears at auction. But it did not happen. To express themselves in the most civilized, it was OK – he said.
– I was able to talk to people associated with the stud. They clearly say that the first buyer had to be substituted. When the other participants in the auction figured out that this is so, they were not willing to teach a lot of money for the remaining horses – said on-air reporter Polsat News Katarzyna Niećko.
Buyer surprised. Large losses organizers
The great excitement aroused a beautiful dark bay 3-year-old Al Jazeera. It reached 350 thousand. euro, but it was not enough, because the horses at auction have a certain minimum value at which it can be sold.
The auction drew to a close, traders began to come out, but leading begged to have been, because at the end there will be something extra – this is when the organizers again set for auction emir (and sold it for 225 thousand. Euros). Buyer – as reports present in Janow one of the merchants – they were surprised by this decision so that when it came to the next auction Al. Jazeera, basically boycotted the auction. Price has reached 150 thousand. euro and stood.
Not only sold well this year stallion – gray-haired, 11-year-old, Alerta, Polish Champion Stallion of 20101 r., with Trela.
Of the 31 horses sold for a total of 15. Paid for it 1.2 million. This is almost four times less than last year.
Employees stud in Janow Podlaski stressed that such a poor auction, as this year’s, can not remember. Many buyers have left the boxes before the end of the event.
Jerzy Białobok, director of the Stud Michaels Emirates in 2016. Says that it is “embarrassing situation”. – Bidding was conducted unprofessionally, on sales of all horses organizers lost about one million euros – estimates.
As a successful auction estimates, however, Charles Tylenda, vice president of the Agricultural Property Agency (unsuccessfully ran in the parliamentary elections with lists PiS). Despite this, he also called the auction “unfair” and “shock”, but sees the advantages of the situation. – Well, the Emir at all sold, because after many leases were having trouble with her foaling. It was an old mare – Tylenda said. Agricultural Property Agency had before the auction that the studs and private horse owners sell animals for a total of approx. 2 – 2.5 million. Last year was approx. EUR 4 million.
The comment also asked the current head of the stud in Janow Slawomir Pietrzak. He declined to comment, explaining that it is now busy.
A year ago, the horses paid 4 million
in 2015, Pride of Poland auction ended with the best result in history. Behind the horses put up for sale was paid 4 million euros. And the record for one horse is 1.4 million. This price fell last year for the mare Pepita.
The success may be, however, that the auction took place at all. Arabian horse stud in Janow Podlaski passed this year by the many storms. In February Justice dismissed the hitherto President Mark Trela. One of the criticisms was mismanagement in contracts with the organizer of Pride of Poland, the company Polturf.
But then – already the new head studs Brand Skomorowskiego – fell two mare high value belonging to Shirley Watts, wife of the drummer Rolling Stones. Skomorowski also lost his position as the new president of John is prof. Sławomir Pietrzak from the University of Life Sciences in Lublin.
All this time the auction was threatened. People connected with stud alarmed that there are delays in its organization. Polturf broke the agreement, and the Agricultural Property Agency emergency hired to organize the International Fair.
