Inaugural CHP Digital Sale Marks Historic Milestone
January 30, 2026
The final digital hammer has fallen on the inaugural Community Horse Project (CHP) 2YO Online Sale, marking a significant milestone as the first digital horse auction ever conducted in Malaysia. This joint initiative between the Selangor Turf Club and Horse City Sdn Bhd concluded with very encouraging results, signalling a new era for a self-sustaining racing ecosystem in the region.
The sale featured a distinguished catalogue of 33 two-year-old horses, carefully scouted for their elite pedigrees and physical potential. Bidding closed today at 12:00 noon with high levels of engagement from owners, trainers, jockeys, and industry stakeholders.
The auction format, which featured 1-minute intervals between lots and 5-minute extensions for late bids, ensured a fair and competitive environment that replicated the intensity of a live sale ring. The market showed strong demand for proven quality, with significant interest focused on the offspring of premier Australian and New Zealand sires.
Indian Horse Club secured the highest bid of the sale by purchasing Lot 33 for RM210,000. Altogether, the Indian Horse Club has invested nearly RM550,000 across three acquisitions. The event also drew new interest in the sport, welcoming fresh horse owners such as Dato’ Melvin, Dato’ Danny KL Ong & Mr Man Ho Tsang from Hong Kong, who collectively purchased four lots. Below are the summary of the sales:
Sales Gross : RM3,425,000
Top Price : RM210,000 (Lot 33)
Median : RM117,500
Average : RM122,321

“Today is an historic moment for racing in Malaysia. This inaugural digital sale is more than just a transaction; it is the foundation of our racing community’s future. The participation we’ve seen today is incredibly encouraging as we work to replenish our equine population and ensure the longevity of the sport”, said Tan Sri Datuk Richard Cham Hak Lim, Chairman of Selangor Turf Club
“We are delighted with the response from the owners and trainers for our first online sale. It was very encouraging. We will be taking positives from this sale and will also be looking forward to improving our future sales”, said Ms Sandra Shaw Managing Director of Horse City Sdn Bhd.

While many lots found their new homes during the bidding period, a select number of horses have been “passed in.” Consistent with the practices of international auction houses, the Club is now welcoming Private Treaty offers for these unsold lots.
Owners and connections are encouraged to act quickly to secure these hand-picked prospects before they are potentially withdrawn. This represents a final opportunity to enter the CHP ownership pathway and benefit from the exclusive RM1.6 million prize pool and bonus schemes set to begin in August 2026.
