Dream Day for Juddmonte Sire... Juddmonte=s Oasis Dream was far and away the leading sire on the day, with nine sold for a total of 3,415,000gns and an average of 379,444gns. In addition to the aforementioned, his big prices also included lot 19, a half-brother to GI Gamely S. and GI Yellow Ribbon S. winner Dubawi Heights (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). The colt has instantly recouped the 400,000gns spent buying his dam Rosie=s Posy (Ire) (Suave Dancer) when she passed through the same ring carrying him in 2012. David Nagle was the buyer that day, and Barronstown Stud consigned the colt this time around, selling him for exactly the same sum to Angus Gold of Shadwell.

Euro Trip Fruitful for Solis/Litt...

The charms of lot 107, a late May bay filly, were enough to convince American agents Jason Litt and Alex Solis to make her the top-priced female of the day, with Solis first seeing off Demi O=Byrne then Fiona Craig, who was the underbidder on behalf of Moyglare Stud. First-time visitors to the October Sale at Tattersalls, Solis and Litt are making the most of their European sojourn and bought three yearlings in Ireland Alex Solis last week before taking in the Keeneland photo Arc weekend in Paris en route to Newmarket. AWe were after a good-looking filly and we think we=ve found it in her,@ said Litt, who was acting for an undisclosed American client.

Invincible Spirit is the thread binding Kodiac to Zebedee, as the 6-year-old is a son of the Irish National Stud=s leading sire. He has gotten his stud career off to a flying start, much like his own racing career which encompassed his 2-year-old season.

Bill Oppenheim (cont. from p1) On the other hand, it is true that there is a shortage of buyers below the 200,000-gns range. There were 40 yearlings sold yesterday for 200,000 gns and above, and there were probably more bidders for those than for horses which sold for much less. Basically, if you had one of those, you were fine; if you didn=t, it was a battle. “As discussed in the column, the 23% fall in gross and 11% drop in average from To some extent, yes, that is the nature of a select Tattersalls’ October Book 1 opening session last year to this year is actually sale, but another factor can be the expense of the stud probably not that significant. The word is the way the alphabet has fallen this year, today’s and tomorrow’s horses are stronger, both on paper and in the flesh. The fee paid to breed the horse. The more mares better bottom graph and table summarize six days of selling over the previous two weeks sires attract, the higher the investment in stud fee the at Tatts Ireland and Goffs: number sold up 12%, gross up 13%, average up 1% to breeder has, and the more difficult it is to make a profit almost €45,000.” – Bill Oppenheim when selling, say for under 100,000 gns. If you have ,25,000 in a stud fee there=s a lot more pressure to have a six-figure yearling than if you have ,10,000 or ,15,000. Better access to better sires is generally a good thing, but in any market thin on buyers having access to better sires can backfire because of the cost of doing so.
