Buyers
were today caught up in the demand for quality horses reflecting a 12% increase
on last year’s average price to $41,127 and a massive 18% increase in the
overall gross to $14,065,500. In total 342 yearlings were sold at the 2003
Premier Yearling Sale with a healthy clearance rate of 80%.
Associate Director and Melbourne Manager Peter Heagney was deservedly delighted
with today’s results after an enormous amount of work has gone into restoring
this sale to the third major yearling sale in Australia.
" I was absolutely thrilled with today’s results and the strong buyer
interest throughout the day on quality horses. A particularly good result for
Victorian vendors who opted to sell their top yearlings at this sale, with 14
horses selling for $100,000 and above."
Sydney based bloodstock agent David Lamond purchased the highest priced yearling
at the sale, lot 251, a Red Ransom filly from Calemeo, the dam of VATC 1000
Guineas winner Lady Of The Pines.
" The horse of the sale. I respect the stallion and have been waiting to
find the right one and this filly with such a great pedigree and a beautiful
type certainly fitted the bill," he said.
The much admired full brother to champion multiple group one winner Rubitano,
lot 467 was sold late in the sale for $230,000, purchased by Teeley Assets Pty
Ltd.
