Well i never thought i would see the day when a filly with absolutely nothing to write about in a pedigree until the 4th dam would sell for $62000.
But at 4pm on a lazy Monday afternoon sinking a couple of cold crownies (and NO i wasnt drunk) watching the sales progress meakly an mildly away this very thing happened.
Lot 1373 a Brown Sequalo filly paraded around the parade ring without a doubt a good walk to her and a nice animal but with no hint of the sales surprise to come. Spirited bidding quickly had her over priced at $35000 but to continue to see her star rising was just blowing my mind away. At $54000 i was at the bar grabbing another 6 beers for the table because we all needed reassurance that this was a filly and NOT a colt, as one fella suggested "the book must have it wrong".
As all good journalists do i checked my source for the buyer and found it was purchased by John Brocklebank an American bloodstock agent known for pin hooking, but surely he didnt miss the Australian fact that fillies dont make you money at breeze up sales?
This is going to make interesting research for sure. Come October at the breeze up sales this filly and her pageless family will again go to sale BUT this time with "time" to beat also.
