Sales Update Snapshot

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 20

2022 yearling sale catalogues are a moving picture that evolves and changes with every race meeting up until sale day, so this weekly report seeks to bring you all the relevant updates in the one place with the big highlight from last week coming from undefeated filly Gypsy Goddess.

Gypsy Goddess has won four from four!

The David Vandyke trained daughter of Tarzino became the first stakes-winner for her sire when winning the Group III BRC Grand Prix and has a half-brother by Belardo (IRE) catalogued for Karaka Book 1 for Haunui Farm.
 


The list of first time winners includes some really interesting ones highlighted by $1.1million Deep Impact colt Elzamee, who won on debut at Newcastle and has a half-sister by Deep Field to be offered at Magic Millions by Coolmore.
 



Also Fastnet Rock filly Hellfest, a $600,000 Magic Millions purchase for Godolphin that won at Newcastle at her second start and has a half-sister by All Too Hard to be offered at Magic Millions by Cressfield.
