A stallion share in Champion three-year-old ALMANZOR provides another attractive opportunity for breeders. Standing at Haras d’Etreham in France, the sire enjoyed a successful season highlighted by MANZOICE winning the Group 1 Victoria Derby and boasts thirteen Group/Listed performers to date. He will stand for a fee of €25,000 in 2023.

An exciting wildcard addition to the sale is the young broodmare SOPHIE, a half-sister to this year’s 1000 Guineas winner CACHET. The daughter of FARHH is offered in foal to ACLAIM carrying a three-quarter sibling to the Classic winner. Other attractive filly and mare offerings include CASUARINA, an own-sister to recent Group 1 Caulfield Cup winner DURSTON offered in foal to STUDY OF MAN, Group 2 winner INFAMOUS ANGEL offered in foal to Classic producing sire ACLAIM, and the well-bred filly IT’S SNOWING who is out of a half-sister to six-time Group 1 winner SNOW FAIRY.
