We look forward to seeing the big colt grow.
Her Terms (Pivotal x Best Terms) delivered a pretty chestnut filly foal at 1am on 22/02/22. the new filly is Her Terms 3rd foal having already given AppleTree Dark Terms (Filly) a winner over 6f and at 2 and a promising 2yo colt by Sea The Stars who is in training with William Haggas. From the family of Champion Best Terms the future looks exciting.
Lola Paige (Galileo x Timbuktu) delivered a beautiful colt foal at the very civilized hour of 10.30am 27/02/22, although Jonny Sutton AppleTree's stud groom probably won't agree after being sat up all night watching her. The colt is Lola's first foal and set her on her way as a broodmare, We have high hopes for Lola being by Galileo, she is proving to be the perfect mum
I am please to inform you that AppleTree welcomed our first new arrival of the 2022 breeding season when our maiden mare Sleepless delivered a fine filly foal by Dandy Man at 10.30pm on Monday night. She weighed in at 47kg's which is big enough and we look forward to seeing her grow and develop over the coming months. The filly sets Sleepless on her way as a broodmare.
AppleTree had another nice result at the sales this week when lot 89 Sea The Moon x The Pirates Queen filly 21 achieved £16,500 when selling to Dan Astbury and Tim Talbot. Our filly behaved well at the sales and i feel she was liked by those who viewed her, she was on the small side but will grow as she is a May Foal. Evie as we called her has the pedigree behind her and would like to take this opportunity to thank Dan Astbury and Tim Talbot for there support, we wish them the very best of luck with her in the future. Also a Very big thank you to all that viewed Evie and supported her in the ring.
AppleTree stud are pleased to offer lot 89 a Sea The Moon x The Pirates Queen 21 filly at Goffs UK January Doncaster sale, by a sire who has done very well over jumps in recent times and the only weanling offered by him in the sale. Evie as she is know at home is a May foal so has growing to do. From a fantastic family of top class mares being out of THE PIRATES QUEEN (a listed winner over hurdles) who is a full sister to KATIE TOO (also a listed winner and G2 placed). Evie is full sister to LUNAR SHADOW in training with Alan King and a winner already. Her movement will continue to improve with time and being 100% GBB registered is sure to be a great prospect for the mare NH program. We look forward to seeing you all in Barn D box 229 from midday Monday 24th January. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information as the filly is there to sell.
Sales season ended very well for AppleTree at Tattersalls December sales this week with Sherbet Lemon lot 1730 achieving a whopping 450,000gns yesterday. Our listed Oaks Trial winner was very popular throughout the sale and confidence was high entering the ring. It was a shame to see her go but she has gone to a very good hotel by being bought by Highclere's Jake Warren. Tomorrow's Dream came later in the day and made 150,000gns to round of the sales say in style. She is a home bred stakes placed filly and sure to be a great producers, Tomorrow's Dream is off down under having been bought by Boomer Bloodstock and all at AppleTree would like to wish the very best of luck with her. I'm also pleased to say we are bringing Inchicore home. she failed to realize what I thought she was worth. I think this was down to here listed 3rd being achieved after the catalogue was printed and possibly the fact she went through early in the day. Inchicore will have a little break then go back into training with Alan King as both Alan and I feel she will train on as a 5yo before we retire her to paddocks. Being by champion sire Galileo means the future bodes well for her.
The dust has not yet settled on AppleTree's fantastic result at the Foal sale on Friday 26/11/21 and we our straight into the mares sale with 3 top draw offerings. First up is lot 1610 Inchicore (Galileo x Luas Line) she is a stunning mare by the all conquering Galileo whos broodmare sire stats are second to none out of a G1 Winning mare Luas Line. Inchicore is a winner of 2 races at 3 and 4 years and since the catalogue has been printed she finished 3RD in the Prix Du Grand Camp at Lyon gaining the all important black type. She is a great broodmare prospect but I'm also convinced she is not finished on the race course. she will improve as a 5yo and there would be nice prizes in her next season. Lot 1730 is next SHERBET LEMON (Lemon Drop Kid x Famous) another stunning filly from AppleTree and a striking grey she is a 2 time winner one of those being the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trail has size, scope and being by Lemon Drop Kid she fits all top European sires. Top class broodmare prospect out of a G1 performing full sister to Mastercraftsman Last up lot 1885 Tomorrow's Dream (Oasis Dream x Midnight Thoughts) She was a tough race horse winning 3 races at 2 and 3 years, a Glorious Goodwood winner she is listed place and finished 4th in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes on Derby day. Oasis Dream is a fantastic Broodmare sire. if you our looking for a mare to produce runners and winners she is the one for you.
