After the weanling session of NZ Bloodstock’s National Sale concluded on Thursday, attention turned to the mixed sessions which was topped by Prestigious Miss at $80,000.

Offered by Oxford Thoroughbreds, the G2 performed daughter of Written Tycoon was purchased by Curraghmore Stud.  “She’s a lovely, quality mare with good performance, and I thought she was great value,” commented studmaster Gordon Cunningham.  “She’s going to visit Pierro in the spring.”

It capped off a highly successful two days for Curraghmore.  The Ohaupo based stud was the leading weanling vendor for the 8th year in a row.  Their Savabeel – Skeena colt is the top lot of the sale thus far at $115,000.

In total, 58 of the 81 horses on offer during the afternoon of Day 2 sold for $277,950 at an average of $4,792 and clearance of 78% providing total turnover of $2.81 million across the past two days of selling.

The Broodmare session (Lots 430 – 658) will complete the National Sale at Karaka on Friday.
