With a draft of 29 weanlings for the National Weanling and Broodmare Sale which begins at Karaka on Monday, including five by exciting first-season sire Per Incanto and 11 by proven international stallion Nadeem, buyers should be encouraged in their search to uncover another Rocanto (Per Incanto-Romantic Liaisons by Danasinga) in the LA consignment. This season’s stakeswinner and dual Group 1 placed performer who was bred by Lowell Goddard, sold from our 2013 Weanling Sale draft for just $8,500.
One youngster bound to be heavily inspected is LOT 299 the Per Incanto three-quarter sister to exciting three-year-old Figurac. Other feature lots in our draft include:
· Lot 10 – A colt by Zed who is a half-brother to Listed winner Monachee (O’Reilly) and stakes placegetter Ciara (O’Reilly).
· Lot 105 – A filly by Darci Brahma out of Listed winner Princess Annaliese (Van Nistelrooy), who is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Gondorff (Montjeu).
· Lot 205 – A colt by Nadeem who is a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Viadana (Towkay).
A race result in Sydney this week highlighted the value that can also be found in the broodmare section of the Sale.
Rockmyladys (Road To Rock-Myladys by Kingfisher Mill), a promising staying three-year-old in the Peter and Paul Snowden stable who won again at Warwick Farm on Wednesday is the first foal of his mother after we purchased her for $7,000 from the broodmare section of the 2009 Sale. Sledmere Stud sold Rockmyladys on our behalf for $50,000 to Triple Crown Syndications at the 2013 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
Hopetoun, the first live foal of Lorraine Jameson’s smart racemare Ciara looks a promising type. After debuting for third just prior to Xmas the three-year-old filly was put aside and resumed with a win over 1200m in Western Australia on Wednesday. John Chalmers purchased the filly from our 2013 Karaka Select Sale draft for $55,000.
The LA, Don Gordon and Bryan Hutchinson bred Jervois (Pentire-Nikki’s Bride by O’Reilly) who continued his development into a serious chaser with a second in the $100,000 Brierly Steeplechase at Warrnambool this week has a half brother – LOT 75- in our Weanling Sale draft. And the mare Nikki’s Bride is LOT 451 in the broodmare section.
