Sale Overview

The Great Southern Sale has quickly garnered a reputation for being a source of quality bloodstock at value prices.

Star weanling graduates include summer discovery Warm Love, who graduated to Listed grade before notching a Group 1 placing behind Black Caviar in the Lightning Stakes. The daughter of Octagonal cost just $9000.

Group 1 Thousand Guineas and AJC Sires Produce winner Yosei was able to be secured for $15,000, while Group 3 winner That’s Not It was passed in at $25,000.

A highlight of weanling sales each year is the appearance of progeny by new sires and this year’s Group is headed by the Golden Slipper winner Sebring, fellow Group 1 winner Northern Meteor, Blue Diamond hero Reaan and the impeccably-bred Sharkbite. High profile shuttlers with first season progeny include Duke Of Marmalade, Henrythenavigator, Astronomer Royal and Street Boss.
