SALES

Darinza Went through the sales ring on Wednesday 04/12/19 and was sold for 20,000gns at Tattersalls December mares sale. We are happy enough with the result and believe Darinza is off to warmer climbs being export to India to resume her broodmare career. There was an element of sadness to see her sold as Darinza was one of AppleTrees's first purchases along side Federico Barberini. We wish her new owners the best of luck with her and hope she can produce plenty of winners for them.

Darinza (Dalakhani x Darinska) a half sister to champion Darjina will go through Tattersalls sales ring in the December mares sale on Wednesday 04/12/19. She is the Dam of 2 winners and also the exciting Far Rockaway who has run twice since the catalogue has been printed. Far Rockaway was a staying on 5th on her debut following up with an unlucky 2nd second time out. Far Rockaway will run again this month and is a sure winner, so a further update to the page is immanent, She will be then put away before making in to a black type performer next summer, we have also retained her Kingman colt to run for AppleTree next summer. Darinza is in foal to the exciting Sea The Moon L.S.D 17/04/19. Sea The Moons yearlings have averaged £106,000 in past sales and his top priced foal to sell last week at Tattersalls made 85,000gns lot 625. Darinza is lot 1930 and is stabled in the Further Paddock, box 472 she is now viewing and we look forward to seeing potential over the coming days.

It was a long wet week at the Tattersalls December foal Sale, but we made it worth while by acquiring a lovely foal By Bated Breath out of a black type producing mare Kite Mark. He was bought to keep our one and only colt foal, Churchill x Darinza company over the winter and to also buy a colt with a resalable profile. I followed many foals over the 3 previous days until the purchase was made. As stated he is by Bated Breath who is a sire on the up with his stud fee going from £10,000 in 2019 to £12,500 in 2020. Bated Breath sired 11 stake winners in 2019 with 6 of them group performers including Daahyeh, Space Traveller and Worth Waiting. Lets hope he has another good summer to enhance his profile further. Our Foal is out of the mare Kite Mark who in her own right has produced Group performers Kite Wood and Odeon. Kite Wood won 5 races from 2 to 4 years including the G2 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier at Longchamp and the G3 GGA Geoffrey Freerer stakes at Newbury before being placed 2nd in the G1 St Ledger at Doncaster. Odeon won 2 races from 3 and 5 years and was placed 3rd in the G2 Neptune Great Voltigeur Stakes at York among other black type performances. Both Bated Breath x Kite Mark colt And Churchill x Darinza will be offered for sale in the autumn yearling sales 2020.

Appletree's Kingman x Darinza colt realized 60,000gns at the Tattersalls October Book 1 Yearling Sale. Unfortunately 60,000gns was not enough to secure a sale and he will go to Malcolm Bastard's with a view to breezing him in early spring. We are hoping to prove he is a nice horse and we are excited to see how he will progress leading up to the breeze ups next year. His Frankel two year old sister is yet to race but she is going very nicely with William Haggas, and hopefully she can add some strength in depth to the pedigree in due course.
