Godolphin Mares a Magic Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Friday June 2
Buyers are used to seeing regular reductions of stock from the massive Australian Godolphin breeding operation, but the volume and quality offered at the Gold Coast this week was on a different level and made Godolphin the second leading vendor by aggregate.

Godolphin sold all but one horse offered with 38 fillies and mares selling for $6,737,500.

Their top seller was rising five year-old Commands mare Tremor, who made $820,000 to the bid of Aquis Farm/ Blue Sky Bloodstock in foal to Medaglia D'Oro (USA) in her first season at stud.

Tremor is a metropolitan winning three-quarter sister to Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Earthquake and full sister to stakes-winner Palomares.

Group III placed three year-old Sepoy filly Chipanda was bought by Newstar Bloodstock for $550,000, while the three year-old full sister to Pierro, a once raced filly called Madrigals, went to Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock for $425,000.

The draft proved an irresistible treasure of talent with all the leading purchasers quick to snaffle the opportunity to buy into some of Godolphin's most successful families.
