The 2011 sale will be held in Sydney from April 12-14.
Black Caviar's dam Helsinge (Desert Sun) was purchased out of the 2005 sale for $115,000 when offered by Aquanita Racing. Black Caviar was her first foal and realised $210,000 as a yearling at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.
At the same 2005 sale, So You Think’s dam Triassic (Tights) also went under the hammer. She sold for $16,000 before being exported back to New Zealand where she produced the dual Cox Plate winner and now Northern Hemisphere based champion.
The dams of Shocking (Maria Di Castiglia, by Danehill, sold for $10,000 in 2003) and Viewed (Lovers Knot, by Khozaam, sold for $36,000 in 2000) were also purchased out of the sale before producing their respective Melbourne Cup winners.
