Bloodstockauction.com’s NZ Sale Has Plenty of Australian Connections

Media Release - Friday January 20
The launch last night of Bloodstockauction's 15-strong New Zealand auction has several lots of particular relevance to Australia.

Bloodstockauction.com's Lot 9 is an unreserved yearling filly by BULLBARS, an Elusive Quality half brother to young Darley sires, HELMET and EPAULETTE. With his oldest progeny only 3 year olds, he has already produced stakes placed Sicario and Mongolianlightning as well as several other winners from his first crop of three year olds. This filly is a half sister to Sydney Group 2 winner FIRE SONG .

Another very attractive yearling filly (Lot 8) is by Group 1 winner producer ROC DE CAMBES from the family of AJC Champagne Stakes winner, I LIKE DIAMONDS .

Broodmares include Lot 4, a young daughter of NO EXCUSE NEEDED, sire of AJC Oaks winner DAFFODIL , already the dam of a stakes performer, one of two black type horses produced to-date by No Excuse Needed mares.

Lot 6 is a perfect meld of Australian and New Zealand breeding. She is by top class broodmare sire FUSAICHI PEGASUS, damsire of seven Group 1 winners including Golden Slipper winner CAPITALIST . This mare is out of a half sister to TELESTO, BONANOVA and FRATERNITY . She is being vended by Regal Fern Lodge. They have five mares in the auction, four in foal to their young stallion LITTLE WONDER, a Group winning son of top class NZ sire, VOLSKRAAD.
Lot 12 - Cool Runnings
In the Racehorses section there is a 4 yo gelding by REDOUTE'S CHOICE's stakes performed son, TOBIQUE. Lot 12 is a half brother to a stakes performer and this gelding has already won over 1950m in 5 starts. He is an attractive staying proposition.

Remember JIMMY CHOUX? He won the ATC Rosehill Guineas, as well as a further four Group 1 races in New Zealand. His oldest runners are three and include Group winner MANOLO BLAHNIQ and two stakes placegetters.

Jimmy Choux's unraced 3 year old daughter Choux Envy (Lot 13), a half sister to Group placed Shining Light , is on offer. Out of a winning DANEHILL mare, she has a very realistic reserve.

VRC Australian Cup and VRC Melbourne Cup winner SHOCKING is represented in the auction by Lot 14, a lightly raced, placed young mare. Shocking has already produced a Group 1 NZ Oaks winner in FANATIC .

Bloodstockauction.com's New Zealand sales have been very popular with Australian and local NZ buyers alike.
