Spring is in the air with September Online Sale

21st Sep 2018

The September Online Auction has opened for bidding, with 182 lots in the catalogue.

The sale features the Hudson Conway Reduction, with 14 high quality tried horses from Macedon Lodge offered unreserved in a separate category (see full list below).

Each Hudson Conway listing includes footage of the horses parading at Macedon Lodge, plus scope reports and photos.

Interested parties are invited to an Open Inspection Day to be held on Tuesday, September 25 from 9am-3pm, at Inglis’ Oaklands Junction in Victoria.

Among the familiar names is three-time Melbourne Cup runner Bondi Beach, 2017 Group 1 Metropolitan winner Foundry, stallion prospect Amralah and the progressive Kilimanjaro and Elgin.

In keeping with the Melbourne Cup theme, Australian Bloodstock are also offering an unreserved 5% share in Ormito, who is qualified for the first Tuesday in November.

Parallels can be drawn between Ormito and Australian Bloodstock’s previous Melbourne Cup success stories.

He’s a German-bred import like their 2014 champion Protectionist.

He’s also by Mamool, who raced in two Melbourne Cups himself, before siring Lucas Cranach, third to Dunaden in 2011.

Coincidently, Ormito was a close third behind the Lloyd Williams- owned Aloft, in the Listed Roy Higgins Quality earlier this year.

Overall the catalogue consists of 105 racehorses, 50 broodmares, six yearlings, four unbroken, one stallion, two service nominations and 14 racehorse shares.

A mammoth 123 lots are offered unreserved, with $500 the minimum bid to buy.

The ‘final countdown’ of bidding commences with Lot 1 at 5pm Wednesday (AEST), September 26, with each lot staggered in one-minute increments.
