For the second year in a row LA has supplied a place getter in the 1600m $1 Million dollar Karaka 3YO Classic and yesterday's result was especially significant as it delivered a pedigree upgrade for the Per Incanto colt catalogued for sale next week as LOT 258 in LA’s Karaka book 1 draft.
Purchased by Peter and Dawn Williams for $160,000 from LA’s 2021 Karaka Book 1 draft, Desert Lightning (Pride of Dubai –Isstora by High Chaparral), produced an outstanding performance to run home from well back in the home turn to finish third in a high-class renewal of this year’s Karaka Classic. The gelding whose stake earnings now exceed $200,000 was runner-up in the New Zealand 2000 Guineas in November.
On behalf of Wes and Danielle Van Der Scheer, LA are delighted to offer, as LOT 258 to sell early in the 2nd day of the 2023 Karaka Book 1 yearling sales next Monday, a Per Incanto half-brother to Desert Lightning.
The Per Incanto colt whose star-studded female family includes such luminaries as Redoute’s Choice, is one of six Per Incanto colts in LA’s 2023 book 1 draft and one of only eight Per Incanto colts in the entire Book 1 and 2 catalogues.
Karman Line (Myboycharlie – World Away by Pierro) who finished 3rd in the 2022 edition of the Karaka Classic was bought from LA’s 2019 May Sale draft.
