Widden Sell Scone Sale Topper

28th Aug 2008

The second annual Inglis Scone Broodmare Sale was held at White Park today with the gross sales of more than $900,000 representing a 26% increase on last year’s inaugural sale.

The top price came for the Tayasu Tsuyoshi mare Red Temptation, a half-sister to stakes winner Red Labelle.

The mare was sold by Widden Stud, in foal to their Golden Slipper winning stallion Stratum.

Earlier, the winning Quest For Fame mare Miss Hillary was sold by Dalmore Stud for $75,000, while the young Fusaichi Pegasus mare Geisha sold for $70,000.

In all, 128 mares sold today at a clearance of just under 80%.

The gross of $931,009 compares favourably to the $734,400 in total receipts from last year’s sale, with the average remaining at a similar figure.

The next Inglis sale is the Sydney Spring Thoroughbred Sale, to be held on September 26, with entries closing September 19.

The Inglis Melbourne 2yo and 3yo Breeze Up Sale is scheduled for October 26 at Oaklands.

Vendors are reminded that entries for this sale close next Friday, September 5.
