SORCILLERA that
we purchased in a claimer won at Fos Lass.
Tuesday, June 7th
This proved a fine opportunity for the well bred
SORCILLERA (half sister to COMMANCHE
COURT) to lose her maiden tag at the fourth attempt. Rated 110, she
could defy a penalty in a novice hurdle at this time of the year, especially in
a mares´ only event. |
| We ended leading buyer at the Osarus Maisons Laffitte sales Saturday, June 11th
With 4 lots bought, we were the
most active buyer yesterday for the first OSARUS
horses in training sales at Maisons Laffitte . This public auction was a
good opportunity to buy a horse for a good value, with some useful flat
performers and some horses with a jumping prospect. Consigned by le Haras de Saint Arnould, we purchased a
very well bred 2 yold filly (lot 31) by
ANABAA BLUE out of an half sister to Gr1winner LORD OF ENGLAND, LONARA (see her
pedigree) for €1000. She is from the
good German family of Lirung, Lagunas, Lavirco et
Laveron.
Few minutes later, we bought a nice COUNTRY REEL gelding, MANCANA (lot 34 see his pedigree) for €4000. Trained by Jean Michel Lefebvre, EMOIS ET MOI (lot 50 see her pedigree) is by the successfull young stallion, half brother to MONTJEU, LE FOU. She was knocked down for €1000. Out of a winning PRIOLO mare, IRISH ABILITY is a lovely 2 yold filly by IRISH WELLS (see her pedigree), it was a bargain for €1000. |

LAUDERDALE.
After a short time in England, where he was trained by Robert Alner
for NH races, we rebought JEFFISON to bring him back on the flat. He
was a promising horse on the flat when he was trained by HA Pantall in France.

Venetia WILLIAMS we purchase a cracking 3 yold colt by WESTERNER

ALMADAN is a son of AZAMOUR who will now be
trained by Ferdy MURPHY. He has an entry in the Grade 1 Grand Prix de Paris mid
july and could be running there before getting ready for the next Nh
season.
On behalf of Venetia WILLIAMSwe purchased also 4 other lots and I must say
that I am very happy with what we bought as they all looked good value. We were
underbidder on the top lot (200 000€) but we had to give up this lovely son of
DUBAI DESTINATION after a long fight with Highfler Bloodstock.
We ended the two days sales with 10 purchases and finishing 3rd leading
buyer. We were not very active on the stores market as we were more on the other
side selling 3 for a good profit. They were bought as yearlings at the Arqana
october sales for french clients and resold very well.
