National Weanling & Broodmare Sale Concludes at Karaka

New Zealand Bloodstock's National Weanling, Broodmare & Mixed Bloodstock Sale concluded today at Karaka, with the remaining 166 broodmares and mixed bloodstock entries wrapping up the three-day National Sale.

In the final analysis, 575 of 837 catalogued lots found new homes for total takings of $5,760,500, compared with 653 horses sold last year for $7,454,900. The final combined average across the three days of selling was $10,018, versus last year's $11,416, with the clearance rate holding up extremely well at 81%, compared with 82% last year.

With the day getting underway with the remaining broodmares on offer, yesterday's top price of $85,000 was never surpassed but was matched by the Gone West mare Down View - dam of Singapore star Mexican Rose (Lot 589). Offered by Trelawney Stud, she was purchased by Jamieson Park of Pukekohe in foal to Mastercraftsman.

Jamieson Park's James Chapman was thrilled with his purchase.

"We had a few in our catalogue that we wanted and we targeted her and we are thrilled that now we get to take her home. She is lovely mare and has done a great job at stud so hopefully we can get some good progeny from her.

"We found the market very strong. Buyers seemed to come out of the woodwork on the stronger lots which made it tough, and overall the vendors that had the right horse, made money."

With 297 catalogued broodmares, plus four supplementary entries, a total of 205 mares were sold for $1,695,100, representing an average of $8,269 at a clearance rate of 79%.

The leading individual broodmare buyer was Cambridge-based agent Michael Wallace Bloodstock, with 12 purchased for $223,100, including a top price of $40,000 paid for the winning Shinko King mare Tenko (Lot 482) and the unraced High Chaparral mare High Tea (Lot 618).

Wallace also purchased seven other lots over the course of the past three days, to make him the leading individual buyer of the Sale with 19 purchases for $358,600. Active at both the weanling and broodmare sessions, Wallace said he faced good competition over the past three days.

"The lots that were strong types with good pedigrees were well sought after in the ring and made good money as there was always competition to purchase them.

"This was particularly evident in the weanling session, especially the Premier and Select type colts which were tough to buy; but the horses that struggled on pedigree and type found it tough.

"The Bernardini colt I bought was a nice type (Lot 190) and we were very happy to secure him. Bernardini's horses have been going very well in the Northern Hemisphere and the reports from the breakers down here is that they are very happy with them, so he will hopefully shape into a smart purchase. All going to plan the colt will be heading to the Karaka Yearling Sales in 2012."

The leading vendor by aggregate for the Broodmare Session, and overall, has been Ron & Mark Chitty's Auckland stud, Haunui Farm, with 43 of their 53 entries sold for $604,350 at an average of $14,385. This included a top price of $67,500 for the Iffraaj weanling colt at Lot 150.

The leading broodmare vendor by average was Brent & Cherry Taylor's Trelawney Stud, with four entries sold for an average of $35,750.

The second leading vendor by aggregate for the Sale was Gordon Cunningham's Curraghmore Stud, who also topped the vendors' table at the Weanling Session for the sixth year in a row. In total, Curraghmore Stud sold 11 horses for $491,000 at an average of $44,636. This included the top priced weanling filly at Lot 56, the Pentire three-quarter sister to Zarita.

Eight-time champion New Zealand sire Volksraad headed the broodmares sires table with seven mares sold for an average of $23,943 and a top price of $68,000 (Lot 448).

The broodmare offering was immediately followed by a selection of yearlings, two-year-old, unraced horses, racehorses, supplementary entries, and stallion shares.

The top price of the mixed selection came at Lot 820, the Bernardini weanling filly bought by Erana Shattock's Anistay Lodge for $47,500.
