Southern Highlands breeder Richard Lavender and his wife, former Channel Seven Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage, sold their first ever Easter yearling, a Lonhro (Octagonal) colt for $260,000. But, the milestone result was tainted with a little sadness as it came just days after they lost the young horse’s dam, Sea The Sparkle (Sea The Stars), to a rare illness. The mare, that was only eight years old and in foal to leading first season sire Capitalist (Written Tycoon), passed away after developing an abscess on her spleen. “It is very rare. They (Lime Country Thoroughbreds) rang all over the world on how to get advice on how to handle it but there was very little info,” said Lavender after his Lonhro colt, lot 68, sold in the ring.
