Book 2 600,000gns Sale Of Too Darn Hot Filly Brings A Flood Of Emotion 15/10/24

Too Darn Hot x Lola Paige filly sold on the Tuesday of Tattersalls Book 2 sale for 600,000gns. Please forgive the rather drab intro as I and the team really were/are speechless. A flood of emotion hit me like a sledge hammer as the gavel dropped at the amazing figure. The AppleTree bred filly out of our mare Lola Paige really is special, from day dot she has been a super star in looks and attitude. I said during interviews after the event I always thought she would make money but never dreamt she would realize what she did. Very special well-done needs to go to the team at home led by Stud Groom Agata Strzalkowska whos tireless input and hard work made this possible, backed up by Katie Reynolds and Hannah Faber. This sale is about so much more than the result itself, Paul Dunkley and his family have invested so much to get to this point I can't thank them enough. The filly was bought by Alex Elliot on behalf of Al Shaqab and Amo Racing but along with a big thank you to them I'd like to thank everyone who viewed and supported our filly over the cause of the sale. I would also like to wish the fillies new connections the very best of luck, this could be the start of something big for AppleTree and we luck forward to following the fillies career.

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.

Sticky Tattersalls October Yearling Sales 16/10/23

The vibe at Tattersalls Book 2 and Book 3 sales last week was a sticky one, AppleTree had 3 offerings and we started well Oasis Dream x Absolute Blast 22 filly sold well to Norman Court Stud for 125,000gns which was a good result. However I do feel in a better market she would of pushed on a little further, Next up was a fine big colt Pinatubo x Midnight Thoughts 22. It was clear going to the ring we had no live interest but he did attract perspective buyers up at the ring. The breeze up lads took a shine to him and Mark and Charlie Johnston pushed him a long to the  48,000gns level, there was no interest after this and Paul and I both thought it wasn't enough. Bob as we call him has been sent to Malcolm Bastards with a view to going into training next spring. Straight in to Book 3 after this we had Invincible Spirit x Fearns Pippin colt who was a foal share with Lordship Stud. the yearling was very busy during viewings and popular up at the ring before going through. He achieved 38,000gns which got him away but I do feel feel that buyer Jamie Osbourne got him self a bargain. we would like to thank everyone who came to view our yearlings last week and wish the buyers the very best of luck with them.

Our Dandyman x Sleepless filly was sold to a good home today being knocked down to Kelly Burke at the Tattersalls Sommerville sale.

Tattersalls Foal Sale 2022

Tattersalls foal sale 2022 is upon us and AppleTree is delighted to have 2 quality offerings for Friday 25th of November, lots 865 and 866. First up is a fine colt by exciting first season sire Pinatubo out of AppleTree's Midnight Thoughts, he is a fine individual with potential and scope. Born in late March all he is going to do is improve. If you take a step back when viewing him, you can really see his frame and the horse he is going to be. He is a half to Listed and group place Tomorrow's Dream, his Kingman half-sister is in training with John and Thady Gosden and none of Midnight Thoughts offspring have had an RPR less than 90. I certainly recommend him as a future star. Next up lot 866 a Showcasing filly out of Her Terms, she is a real 2yo type and look precocious, she is all speed and the result of a cross that has had great success in the past (Showcasing x Pivotal damsire). Not only does she look an Ascot 2yo the page is developing all the time, Rainbow Sky out Best Terms won very well for Godolphin at Kempton last week. Be sure not to miss her as she is very fast.
