A total of 144 sold (88%) from 144 offered and grossed A$1,867,000. Overall, 798 horses (82%) sold for A$15,877,473 from Sunday-Thursday compared to 665 for A$15,225,700 in 2017. The average was A$19,897 (-13.1%) and the median reached A$8,000 (-11.1%). Lot 935, the Exceed And Excel (Aus) 4-year-old filly Villa Rosa (Aus) commanded the top price of A$240,000 when acquired by Freyer Bloodstock (FBAA). Consigned by Blue Gum Farm, the two-time winner is a full-sister to Hong Kong champion griffin Amber Sky (Aus), as the pair are out of G2 Champagne S. heroine Truly Wicked (Aus) (Rubiton {Aus}). Randwick Bloodstock spent A$210,000 for the 3-year-old filly Blue Morpho (Aus) (Hussonet) (lot 900). From the draft of Angas River Contractors, the Listed Laelia S. heroine is from the family of G1 Adelaide Cup victor Apache King (Aus) (Waajib {Ire}). “I think it was a very fair market, well balanced between vendors and purchasers,” said Inglis Victorian Bloodstock Manager Simon Vivian. “The competition on many of the prized lots of the sale was outstanding. We had a record number of entries for the sale this year and to see the strong buying across all sessions of the sale has been very pleasing. We thank both the vendors and the purchasers for their support.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
