Hit And A Miss At Tattersalls Book 2 12/10/22

After the explosive week at Book 1 Tattersalls October sales Book 2 seemed a little stickier. AppleTree offered 2 fillies, lot 1021 Dark Angel x Absolute Blast and lot 1276 Churchill x Fearns Pippin. First up was our Dark Angel filly, she was certainly popular with over 100 views during her time at park paddocks and a couple of vetting’s but as she entered the ring it was clear that she had not made the final cut for many of the buyers lists. We bought her back for 95,000gns, the price wasn’t quite enough for what I thought was a good-looking Racey filly. Dark Angel x Absolute Blast will go into training and run for AppleTree next season; she will be trained by Archie Watson.

Next Up was 1276 Churchill x Fearns Pippin who was a bit of a surprise package, the filly had done nothing but improve in the run up to and during the sales. She moved well looked the part and vetted very well. Our Churchill filly seemed to gain more interest as the sale progressed, she behaved impeccably and was knocked down to Roger Varian for 120,000gns which was a fantastic result having been under bid by Charlie Hills and M.V Magnier. We were delighted with the result and also delighted that our filly will be trained by such a brilliant trainer, it’s good for AppleTree and good for Fearns Pippin. Both fillies were an absolute credit to Jonny Sutton AppleTrees stud groom a great job well done.
