There was quite a bit of interest in breeding stock and young racehorses at the CTHS Ontario Mixed Sale at the Woodbine sale pavilion on October 19. A slightly smaller catalog than a year ago realized large increases in gross sales, average price, and median.
Stakes winner BLURRICANE, offered for sale in foal to multiple stakes winner Passion for Action (Speightstown), was one of three horses that brought the sale’s top price of $35,000. Consigned by the new Ballycroy Bloodstock located in Loretto, ON, for her owners Dennis Mitchell, Ken Lee, and Don and Gaye Belle, Blurricane was bought by Ballycroy Bloodstock which is owned by Steve Kemp.
Blurricane, who won 11 races and over $668,000, is a daughter of Rebellion (GB) and she has produced a yearling by Silent Name (Jpn) and a weanling by Ami’s Gizmo.
Yearling fillies were popular at the sale and two sold for $35,000. Sean Selose was the successful bidder for a filly by Cairo Prince from Irene Adler by Bernardini sold by Richard Gogan as agent. The filly is a half-sister to graded stakes-placed Bohemian Bourbon.
Rob Cudney’s Cudney Stables purchased a filly by Kantharos from the stakes-winning and stakes-producing mare Anne’s Purse from HIll ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency as agent.
The top weanling was a $25,000 filly by Seattle Serenade from Classic Soul and is a half-sister to stakes winner Speedy Soul. RM Inc. was the listed buyer from Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, agent.
