It was a busy day yesterday at the National Standardbred Yearling Sale with Arna Donnelly Harness Racing taking home four lots. Activity was fierce in the bidding ring but we managed to secure what we wanted.
Three of the four have been purchased by existing client's. Shares are available in lot 101 but you'll need to be quick as she's filling fast.
Thanks to vendors Alabar (NZ) Ltd, Woodlands Stud (NZ) Ltd and Hollis & Robertson Equine Services who presented them beautifully.
Arna will be back in action again tomorrow in Christchurch looking for our next purchase. If you're interested in finding out more don't hesitate to get in touch.
Details of our purchases yesterday:
Lot 43 - Lazarus/Le Girl (Colt)
WHAT ARNA HAD TO SAY:
"This colt is a half brother to Le Major. He's a different type, real nuggety and compact."
"The stock of Lazarus are quickly proving themselves on the racetrack and he's from a great family of winners on the dam's side. I thought he was a great buy."
******SOLD******
Lot 48 - Downbytheseaside/Mockingjay (Filly)
WHAT ARNA HAD TO SAY:
"I had this filly earmarked as soon as I saw photos of her."
"Downbytheseaside is making a big impact as a stallion and it looks as though he'll be a sire of the future. I've had a few of them myself (promising three year old The Surfer being one), and I really like them."
"I was determined not to go home without her."
******SOLD******
Lot 101 - Captain Crunch/Weownthenight (Filly)
WHAT ARNA HAD TO SAY:
"She's from a family that appear to run early, with her half sister Kiss proving that."
"Her sire Captain Crunch got off to the perfect start with his first New Zealand 2 year old starter Ukraine winning recently."
"There's plenty of depth on the pedigree page."
******SOLD******
Lot 124 - Always B Miki - Cordelia (Filly)
WHAT ARNA HAD TO SAY:
"This filly was the last horse to be sold through the ring by longtime vendors Sandy and Jan Yarndley."
"She's from a race winning mare whose already left two very smart horses to date being Town Echo and Cos I Can."
"A nice filly with plenty of scope."
