City winner in foal to Fastnet Rock tops Day Three of Great Southern Sale

24th May 2012

Buyers demand for bloodstock associated with Fastnet Rock saw no sign of fading into the broodmare section of the 2012 Inglis Great Southern Sale, with city winning mare Cool And Composed sold in foal to the 2011/12 Australian Champion Sire elect for $150,000.

From stakes winner Icy Calm and a half-sister to stakes winner The Big Chill, Lot 586 - Cool And Composed was the highest priced lot sold at Oaklands on Thursday when secured by bloodstock agent Steve Brem.

Young city winners from the Contract Racing’s Reduction were also popular with buyers, with Peter Ford snapping up Lot 444 a half-sister to Group 1 winner River Dove in foal to Domesday for $50,000, while Emirates Park purchased Lot 602 the half-sister to Kulgrinda in foal to Excellent Art for $42,500.

“Young well related mares and proven producers in foal were in demand and there was excellent value buying at the lower levels,” Inglis Melbourne Director Peter Heagney said.

“There were some very nice breeding prospects such as Group 2 winner Avienus that weren’t able to find a new home and our bloodstock team will be available to anyone looking to make and offer on any of the passed in lots over the coming days,” Heagney added.

Broodmare that passed in today are available for sale via the Inglis Make-An-Offer service.
