With
four outstanding new stallions set to join the Newgate Farm roster next year in
Flying Artie, Capitalist, Extreme Choice and Russian Revolution, Newgate were
active in Kentucky on Monday securing four lovely race mares from the 2016 Fasig-Tipton
November Sale.
SF Bloodstock and Newgate purchased the quartet for $1,585,000 and all will be
sent to Australia to take up stud duties here in 2017.
"Newgate and partners bought some really talented racemares with lovely
outcross blood," said Newgate principal Henry Field.
"Our objective is to support our young stallions with proper mares and craft
their careers to give them every possible chance at stud.
"It's not just about selling nominations, it's about developing great
stallions."
The most expensive Newgate purchase was Lot 103, Al's Gal for $800,000. A Group
I winner this year of the EP Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, she is a sibling by
English Channel to Group II winner May Be Now and stakes-winner Ann of the
Dance.
The remaining purchases were Lot 99 West Coast Chick for $385,000, Lot 61 Ma
Can Do It for $300,000 and Lot 153 Invading Humor for $100,000.
