Lots of other really nice mares.

Besides the obvious stars on offer, after a brief skimming of the catalogue, I'd like to roll the dice on the following:

hip 1548, Affectionately (Galileo X Rafha) - half sister to Invincible Spirit and Kodiac. She's 13, and her produce record is very spotty to say the least. She's produced 3 winners and foaled last in 2020.
2017 - slipped
2018 - dead foal
2021 - barren
2022 - dead foal
2023 - covered by Dark Angel, not in foal

Could get her for a steal!

hip 1551, Kenspeckle (Dubawi X Khawlah) - half to Masar. She's 8, hasn't produced a winner yet, was barren in 2020 and is currently barren after a Frankel cover.
hip 1597, Star Snap (Galileo x Hot Snap) - unraced 4 year old, dam is half to Midday
hip 1633, Arousing (Kodiac x Enticing) - half to the wonderful One Master
hip 1634, Crystal Starlet (Frankel x Crystal Zvezda) - dam is half to Crystal Ocean
hip 1830, Atone (Oasis Dream x Midsummer), she's 9, full to Midday. She's in foal to Frankel which tbh could double her value at this point in his stud career.
hip 1831, Colourful (Champs Elysees x Rainbow Lake), she's 11, and hasn't produced much, but is half to Powerscourt and Kind, the dam of Frankel.
hip 1834, Trinket (Frankel x Lucky Kristale) - dam is G2 winner and half to Love
hip 1864, Waldfabel (Frankel x Waldmark) - the page is just crammed full of black type, including Waldgeist.

I'd also take pretty much any mare from the Normandie Stud dispersal. French Dressing, Love is You, Gretchen, Sultanina.

Whoa just looking through again and 1,000 Guineas, Irish Oaks, and Yorkshire Oaks winner Blue Bunting is in there for Godolphin. She's 14 now and while she has foaled on a pretty consistent basis, and her foals do make it to the track... they just don't win much. But like still... come on, she's a multiple classic winner.

Koneko, half to Kameko, is in there for Tweenhills. They're selling a couple high class mares, like Kiyoshi and Purr Along.

Blue Bunting went for 70,000 guineas, and Affectionately for 27,000.

Koneko (i/f to Zoustar) was sold for 60K GNS to Trotting Bloodstock.

A guinea is always £1.05, in auctions the buyer purchases in that amount but the seller receives the number in pounds with the extra as the sales commission.

Saffron Beach sold for 3,6 million and stays in training next season and returns to Jane Chapple Hymn

La Petite coco sold for 1 million and stays with Pat Tomey

Alcohol Free went for 5.4 million bought by BBA Ireland

Yulong Investments gets Alcohol Free.

I know I sound like a broken record but the amount of money that Yuesheng Zhang has spent on mares this year is absolutely bananas. It’s mostly in Australia at Magic Millions and Inglis sales, both live and online, but he’s also buying at horses in training and broodmare sales at Tatts and Arqana.

With the quality and quantity they are going after, Yulong is going to be a huge force globally in the next 5-10 years

Group 1 winning filly The Platinum Queen sold for 1.2 million

Sold to Katsumi Yoshida. Lord Kanaloa mentioned as a future possible mate but still to be determined whether or not she races at three.

Alcohol Free will be transferred down under to race in Australia

Saffron Beach was bought by the relatively new entity Najd Stud with the intention of running her in the Saudi Cup.

Alcohol Free will be trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott down under.
