Black Kirrama 1,478 Report post Posted January 11, 2019 The Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale 2019 after two days has been extraordinary. Their Live Coverage web site is Yearling focused, with huge screen back ground footage of the yearling in its own environment. The video footage of the lot in the ring focuses on the horse. It may encourage off site bidders. NOT on who is bidding. I truly appreciate Dave Ellis's sponsorship of the last 6 years of the Karaka Sales on line coverage. Will our Karaka yearling Sales next month 2019 match the investment into a vibrant Australian Racing environment ? 2018 was a record sale per Average sale For Gerry and GCMM and god knows what percentage increase will happen this year 2019. Steve Davis has unique auctioneering skills .He has the lowest" pass in rate "of any Thoroughbred auctioneer since 2014. Those stats are for Karaka, Gold Coast, South Africa. His voice modulation and pitch , verbal frequency, bullshit and knowledge and sheer charisma My vote for the best Auctioneer we have ever had. Steve Davis Peter Kelly, Jo Walls ,Rev Somervell Stu Hale rated 2233rd in Australasia. Rate your auctioneers here on this post .

Tauhei Notts 1,403 Report post Posted January 12, 2019 In 1975, when I was in Johannesburg, I wrote a small piece for the evening newspaper mentioning that New Zealand's Peter Kelly was a walking encyclopaedia. Ping. They had him there for the 1976 sales! Steve Davis is second only to Peter Kelly in my lifetime.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 12, 2019 It’s a bit like comparing Phar Lap with Winx. What’s the point? Steve Davis is the best of his time - period. The best of them today, no comparison. napier, Virtual.Stipe, Fartoomuch and 3 others 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
