A striking half-brother to prolific Listed Australian winner Zoustyle has sold for a sale-topping bid of HK$5 million at the Hong Kong International Sale at the Sha Tin Parade Ring on Sunday, 27 June, as all 16 lots offered for sold for a total of HK$47.2 million.<\/p>
The chestnut gelding, catalogued as Lot 14, is by leading Australian sire Sebring, whose Hong Kong stock include Aethero and Lucky Bubbles, out of Anabaa mare Fashion, a winner at two over 1400m in Germany.<\/p>
The two-year-old, whose sibling Zoustar has won seven of 11 starts in Australia, was sold to Harry Tsang Cheung Hin.<\/p>
Trainer Tony Cruz is confident of early progress from the imposing gelding: \u201cI think we will get results very quickly with this horse, he\u2019s a good-looking horse.\u201d<\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4112″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Peter Lau Pak Fai, owner of Romantic Combo, went to HK$4.8 million for Lot 9, an Acclamation gelding out of Street Cry mare Folk Melody, who has already produced two winning foals \u2013 Pennywhistle and Melodic Charm \u2013 in Great Britain.<\/p>
Two other geldings drew HK$3.8 million: Lot 13, a Mastercraftsman half-brother to four individual winners, and Lot 20, a son of Street Boss out of Fusaichi Pegasus mare Sachariste, the dam of winning Australian performers Can\u2019t Remember and Head Noises.<\/p>
Mr. William Nader, the Hong Kong Jockey Club\u2019s Director of Racing Business and Operations, said: \u201cI thought the horses were well presented today and I thought a couple in particular looked outstanding, so I was very pleased.\u201d<\/p>
The sale average was HK$2.95 million while the median reached HK$2.8 million.<\/p>
\u201cWe have had some great horses come out of the Sale in the past and hopefully a few will come out of this Sale and do really well for us, for Hong Kong and for our owners, so overall I would say this is a big success and we\u2019re very happy with the outcome,\u201d Mr. Nader said.<\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4113″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
