Bidding is set to close
from 7pm NZ time Monday 3rd April.
The successful sale of a share in Darci Brahma in the last gavelhouse.com New Zealand fortnightly auction has prompted Blandford Lodge's Graeme Bax to list a share in the five-time Group One winning son of Danehill. Having sired seven Group One winners to date, he continues to produce top-line performers with Devise looking like his next headline maker after running second in the recent New Zealand Oaks and now preparing for an assault on the Australian Oaks.
Among the well-credentialed racing prospects on offer is a yearling filly from the last crop of one of the sires of the moment in High Chaparral, the sire of Saturday's Gr.1 Vinery Stud Stakes winner Montoya's Secret.
