The 2022 yearling sale season ends in October with the Hokkaido Autumn Sale in Shizunai Hokkaido on October 17th and 18th. A total of 487 lots will be offered in this final round, including 258 RNA'd or withdrawn yearlings from previous sales that will be re-entered on the last day for a second chance to find an owner at public auction.
Several outstanding pedigrees stand out in this sale, including Hip 65, G2 winner Mitra(JPN) 's half-sister by Best Warrior(USA), and Hip 72, G2 winner Miss Panthere(JPN) 's half-sister by Real Steel(JPN).
One hundred forty-four different stallions will be represented in the Autumn Sale. Several have a strong presence at the sale this year, including G1 Asahi Hai Futurity winner Asia Express(USA), who has had a lot of success on the dirt since debuting and has 13 lots in the sale.

G1 winner Moanin(USA), represented by his first crop in the yearling sales this year, has 11 lots.
Several of the most promising freshmen sires have been making their impact known since debuting in June, including leading sire and multiple G1 winner Mind Your Biscuits(USA), who has three lots in the sale. Declaration of War(USA) 's international offspring continue to perform admirably, which justifies his early showing as a freshman sire and his popularity at the sales. He has five yearlings in the sale. Regally bred and G1 winner Real Steel(JPN) has been doing well on debut this year and has nine offspring in the sale. Shanghai Bobby(USA) and Beach Patrol(USA) have also been doing remarkably well with their first crop this year. They have four and six lots in the sale, respectively.
At this late stage of the sales season, top stallions can still be represented in the ring. Duramente(JPN), who has to be one of the most popular Japanese-bred stallions this year, has one lot. Kizuna(JPN) has also been on fire this year and has two lots in the sale. Rulership(JPN) has been a tried and true stable of the leading sire's list, and he has four yearlings available. Orfevre(JPN) continues to produce hardy stayer stock, and he has five in the sale. Daiwa Major(JPN) has been one of the most prolific sires Sunday Silence(USA) has produced in Japan, and as his era wanes, he still proves popular in the sales. He has one lot in the sale. Maurice(JPN) has been fantastic in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres since debuting and has been immensely popular. He has one yearling in the sale.
First crop sires inspire the dreams that racing is made of; several are represented in this final sale. First-season imported stallions available are New Years Day(USA), Thunder Snow(IRE), Hawkbill(USA), and California Chrome(USA). They have two, five, ten, and three yearlings in the sale. Al Ain(JPN), another son of Deep Impact(JPN), has two in the sale.
