Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 15, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 15, 2019 While Australian and New Zealand-breds accounted for the top seven lots sold at Friday’s Hong Kong International Sale at Sha Tin Racecourse (click here for the full report in TDN AusNZ), European-breds did feature among the offerings, with a son of Kodiac (GB) topping the European imports and at a price of HK$5.2-million (£500,289/€585,322). A gelding-as all the offerings at Hong Kong sales are-he was purchased by the Happy and Healthy Racing Syndicate. Originally a 190,000gns foal purchased by Ballydogen Stud from Trickledown Stud, he was bought by the Hong Kong Jockey Club for 450,000gns at Tattersalls October in 2017 from Tally-Ho Stud. The bay is out of the Listed Boadicea S. winner Inyordreams (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), herself a daughter of the G2 Flying Childers S. winner Wunders Dream (Ire) (Averti {Ire}). He was the lone offering by his sire at the sale. Kingman (GB), meanwhile, had a pair of geldings offered, and they brought HK$4.5-million (£432,942/€506529) and HK$4-million (£384837/€450,248). The first, out of the G3 Sweet Solera S. second Don’t Forget Faith (Victory Gallop), was a €180,000 purchase from Mocklershill’s Arqana May consignment last year, having been a 45,000gns yearling. The latter is out of the Grade III-placed Janicellaine (Ire) (Beat Hollow {GB}), a half-sister to Group/Grade I-winning filly Chriselliam (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) and Group 2 winner Very Special (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). He was bought from Ballylinch Stud’s consignment at the Arqana’s August sale for €360,000.
