3 Away At Doncaster Premier Sale

AppleTree Stud managed to get our 3 offerings sold at Doncaster yearling sale although slightly disappointed with the results. First up was lot 103 an Ardad filly out of AppleTree’s mare Sleepless, she was popular and a fine big strong filly and having made £26,000 there was profit in her. She went to a good school being bought by Robson Aguiar and we look forward to seeing her on the track early next year.

Next up was lot 232 Palace Pier colt out of our good mare Astonishing. he made £68,000 so again there was a little profit there from his covering fee. He was bought by Tally Ho stud so we wait to see what they can make of him and we no doubt wait to see him at next years breeze up sales and hope he can enhance our mares page going forward.

Our Last lot offered was lot 366 Lope Y Fernadez x Frequent colt who unfortunately only made £3,500 which was disappointing, he only cost AppleTree 5,000gns so although not the biggest lost I did expect him to make more. Granted he wasn’t the prettiest but he moved very well and I thought this may push him to the £10,000 target. you win some you loose some with horses and we at AppleTree would like to offer all purchasers the very best of luck. Also a Very big thank you to all who came and took the time to viewed our horses, we look forward to seeing you in Newmarket.

Lot 103 Ardad x Sleepless filly
