Two Bays Farm produced the best pinhook result of the sale with their Wootton Bassett (GB) filly from Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Oohood.

The third foal of her dam, she made $70,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale last year when snapped up by Astute Bloodstock from the Stonehouse Thoroughbreds draft and when re-offered made $380,000 to the bid of Shane Nichols Racing.

The filly comes with a superb pedigree as her dam is a Group I winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to stakes-placed Breakfast in Bed, the dam of dual Group I winner and promising young sire King’s Legacy. This is the family of champion sire Not a Single Doubt with third dam Singles Bar, a daughter of blue hen Easy Date.

Northmore Thoroughbreds were well rewarded for their Bivouac colt from Promenades that made $220,000 when bought by Akaya Success Limited HK. A half-brother to three winners, he is the fifth foal of a half-sister to the dam of current Group I winner Tom Kitten from the Twyla branch of the famed Dancing Show (USA) family.
