The Breednet Sales Centre offers best stats for analysis – leading sires, buyers and vendors – fully interactive see what people are buying and selling during a vintage sale where the 94% clearance was maintained through Thursday and the average soared!
Leading Vendors by Aggregate
Newgate Farm still on top and now by a margin given a stellar day on which they sold the current sale-topper with their I Am Invincible colt from Supsicieuse (Fr) selling to Tom Magnier.
Hear Henry Field talk about the half-brother to Group II winner Dubious that was bred by clients of James Harron and foaled and raised at Newgate.
Leading Buyers
Ciaron Maher Bloodstock still the leading buyer and they purchased the second highest priced yearling sold on Thursday paying $1.5million for the Pierro colt from Ravi, who is bred on a renowned ‘nick that clicks’.
"He's a lovely physical," Maher's Bloodstock Manager Will Bourne said. "He's a Pierro out of a Redoute's mare, who could run herself.
"The Pierro-Redoute's cross has produced three Group One winners from a sample size of about 40 horses. A proven sire, the mare could run and it's a proven cross - it was a real no-brainer for us."
For the record it’s 20% SW to runner, so one in five by Pierro from a daughter of Redoute’s Choice win a stakes race!
Leading Sires
While many champion sires tend to fizzle out in the sale ring a little by the time their last crop arrives, that has not happened with Arrowfield Stud’s Not a Single Doubt, who was pensioned in early 2020 at age 18.
His last crop of foals were conceived when he stood at $110,000, which was the highest fee he ever stood for so in theory these should be from his best mares, although fading fertility meant the last foal crop numbers just 37.
Seven more of his yearlings are still to be offered at this sale.
