Top Sale Comes To Close

Top Sale Comes To Close

The six-figure sale of a daughter of Ardrossan successfully brought the curtain down on LA’s business at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale.

The Wairarapa farm enjoyed excellent trade through Books 1 and 2 and its quartet of Summer Sae offerings all found good homes.

Their top-priced entry was Lot 980, a filly by Ardrossan out of the unraced Per Incanto mare La Sartiglia who was secured for $105,000 by Paul Moroney Bloodstock and Catheryne Bruggeman.

They also purchased Lot 895, going to $65,000 for the Armory colt who is a grandson of the G1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes winner Surprize Surprize.

A real sense of stockmanship and a love of the animal. When our mares arrive back from LA, they look like they’ve had a month at Club Med, with some of the trimmings of the buffet, but also the glow of having had the attention of a personal trainer
