Little Avondale stallion Per Incanto’s outstanding season carried on in the Karaka sale ring on Thursday, where his weanling colt fetched a sale-topping $190,000 in the opening hour of the NZB National Weanling Sale. Catalogued as Lot 13, the colt is the second foal out of the Shamexpress mare London Express – the winner of seven races including the Listed Castletown Stakes (1200m) as a late-season two-year-old. The sale-topping colt was offered by Seaton Park and was bought by Australian bloodstock agent James Mitchell, who signed for his purchase in the name of Newgate Farm’s Jim Carey. Bloodstock agent James Mitchell at Karaka on Thursday Photo: Angelique Bridson “We’ve put together a syndicate to buy a few colts to be traded at yearling sales next season, and I thought this was the nicest colt here and my pick of the sale,” Mitchell said. “He’s by a stallion I love, Per Incanto, who’s just going from strength to strength, and he’s out of a running mare. Being a November foal, he’s only going to continue to develop. “He’ll head to Newgate now and spend some time on those Group One-producing hills, and then we’ll prepare him for either the Sydney Easter or Melbourne Premier Sale. I see him as a real Hong Kong type of horse. He’ll have a lot of appeal with that market. Per Incanto has sired a lot of winners there, and being out of a Shamexpress mare, he’s a reverse of the cross that produced Ka Ying Rising.” The colt’s $190,000 purchase price was the second-highest price paid at a weanling sale at Karaka in the last 15 years. Lot 139, a colt by Super Seth out of Queen Leonora Photo: Trish Dunell “It’s a fantastic result and we’re absolutely thrilled,” Seaton Park’s Scott Eagleton said. “The colt was born on the farm and he’s owned by a long-time client of ours. They’ve been with us through all of our 22 years at Seaton Park, and were even a client back in my Fayette Park days. It means a lot to get a result like this for some good Taranaki people and long-time loyal clients. “The interest in the colt was huge leading into the sale. He was always very forward. Pinhookers come to these sales looking for horses that they can improve, and he does have scope to do that, but he’s always just oozed quality. He walks so well and he’s always been a real standout.” Lot 13 was one of two Per Incanto progeny in the National Weanling Sale catalogue. The other, a filly out of the Gr.3 Lowland Stakes (2100m) placegetter Amazing Lady, was bought by Lordof Wingrove Limited for $65,000. Kaha Nui Farm’s Flo Gore, Nicky White and Toby White Photo: Angelique Bridson Per Incanto has enjoyed strong demand with his yearling progeny this season, including averages of A$425,000 in in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale in Sydney and A$218,333 in the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. That comes in the midst of a career-best run of racetrack success, headed by Jimmysstar’s triumphs in the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) and All Aged Stakes (1400m) and Gringotts’ victory in the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m). His current 15th place in the Australian sires’ premiership is the best of his career. “I thought today’s colt was a really nice horse – a beautiful-walking horse and physically strong,” Little Avondale’s Sam Williams commented. “He’ll head towards yearling sales in Australia now and I think he’s a very marketable colt. Per Incanto has had a wonderful year. He’s going to take out the Centaine Award, which is for the leading New Zealand sire by worldwide progeny earnings. To take that title off champion sire Savabeel is a massive feat and something we’re very proud of. Lot 99, a filly by Satono Aladdin out of Blue Rhythmn Photo: Trish Dunell “Per Incanto will serve a limited book this year. I often say I’m married to the best person in the world (Catriona), but my nest-best friend is there next to us in his box at home. We just love him.” Kaha Nui Farm secured two of the four highest-priced weanlings of the day, going to $130,000 for a colt by Super Seth out of Queen Leonora and $120,000 for a Sword Of State colt out of Goldilicious. They also picked up a Bivouac filly for $50,000, lifting their total spend to $300,000 for three purchases. “We’re really happy with the horses we came away with,” Kaha Nui’s Nicky White said. “We managed to get the two colts that I thought were the two nicest colts here, and we picked up a speedy-looking filly by Bivouac as well. We’re thrilled. “They’re the progeny of three exciting young sires. It’s amazing what Super Seth has done on the track lately and there’s a bit of talk about him, so it was great to secure such a nice colt by him today. “The plan now is to take them home, try to turn them into athletes and then take them back to Karaka for the yearling sales in January.” View the full article -

Successful pinhookers Kaha Nui Farm were to the fore at Karaka on Thursday, and were rewarded with the crown of leading buyer at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Weanling Sale. The boutique Waikato thoroughbred operation, operated by Nicky and Nick White, purchased three weanlings for a total spend of $300,000, and the couple were pleased with their acquisitions, who will return through the Karaka sales ring in next year’s National Yearling Sale. “It has been a really good sale and we have given it a nudge on a number of lots, and we are pretty happy with the ones that we have managed to secure,” Nicky White said. “We will take them home, turn them around and bring them back next year. “With it being NZB’s 100th year, it is exciting. I think if we can have a good draft and turn them into what we want to, it will be fun.” The Whites outlaid $130,000 for lot 139, the Super Seth colt out of Queen Leonora, whose grand-dam is dual Group One winner Legs. White said she was taken by the chestnut when inspecting him at vendor Waikato Stud’s on-farm parade, and she was delighted to secure him. “The stallion (Super Seth) is going really well at the moment,” White said. “I like the fillies as well, but we had our eye on him from the start. “We went out to the farm and had a look at him and liked him again when he was here (Karaka). “I thought he would go too strong, and we were getting a bit wobbly, but he is a really nice, athletic horse. I think he will be a really neat yearling.” The Whites also went to $120,000 to secure lot 129, the Sword of State colt out of Goldilicious, the dam of Group Three winner Torranzino, from Curraghmore’s draft. “He was a very late foal so we forgave him for being on the lighter side than what I would normally look at, but he is just a baby, and he will furnish pretty well, I hope,” White said. Their final purchase also came from Curraghmore’s draft, going to $50,000 to buy lot 127, the Bivouac filly out of Forte, a half-sister to Group One winner Nechita. “I missed out on going to the farm, but I had my A-team go and have a look,” White said. “She just had speed written all over her. She looks a very fast, early type, and I think she will be fun as well.” Following the sale, Curraghmore was crowned leading vendor, selling all eight of their weanlings for an aggregate of $465,000. The sale’s top lot came early in the piece, with lot 13, the Per Incanto colt out of Group Three performer London Express, selling from Seaton Park’s draft to Jim Carey for $190,000.
