Great End To Sales Season For AppleTree 01/12/21
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.
On To December Mare Sale With 3 Top Draw Offerings 27/11/21
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.

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.
Another Great Result For AppleTree At Tatts 27/11/21
The Tattersalls December foal sale turned out great in the end. We started the day offering our Oasis Dream x Midnight Thoughts colt lot 807 but unfortunately he did not make the money required. This shocked me as he is a fine colt with a 2A scope and clean x-rays, we will probably reoffer him in the autumn yearling sales. He will be a fine yearling and his half sister by Kingman realized 300,000gns in Book2. We had a solemn hour be for our Too Darn Hot x Astonishing filly went through the ring and my confidence was dented significantly. She entered the ring and interest was high although when she stalled at 50,000 my heart sank a little before Anthony Stroud entered the ring. He engaged in a little battle with Richard Brown which saw the hammer go down at 270,000gns with a winning bid from Anthony Stroud. Too Darn Hot x Astonishing filly is a cracking foal, she has a lot of quality vetted well and is sure to be a race horse. We would like to wish her new owners the best of luck and thank everyone who supported her.
