Mare in Foal to Home Affairs Sells for $1million

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 7

A proven G1 producer is always a valuable commodity and even more so when she’s in foal to the hottest young stallion in the country in Home Affairs.

Moldova sold for $1million in foal to Home Affairs.

Consigned by Lime Country Thoroughbreds as agent for Makybe, nine year-old Snitzel mare Moldova was purchased by Yulong Investments for $1million.

She achieved instant success at stud as her first foal is Group I NZ Thousand Guineas winner Captured by Love, a multiple Group winner for the Te Akau team that won over $700,000 in prizemoney with her sire Written Tycoon a Yulong favourite.

Captured by Love will be offered at MM National Broodmare Sale.

Captured By Love is due to be offered at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale as Lot 503 and Yulong would be a short priced favourite to purchase her given their liking for securing a whole family surrounding a star performer.
