I checked out his website, and it does look like several deals he's brokered have landed stallions for Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and a few South American countries.luvthesales wrote:He has represented overseas interests such as the Saudis in the past.BlindLucky wrote:Graeme Hall sold for $100k.

They are based in China but race all over. They have horses racing in 6 countries, including a few in the US. Iotapa may stay in training and may stay in the US. The article I read said they have a few horses in the US already. They also said that the in-foal mares are going to Ireland to be bred to Australia.serenassong wrote:I'm seeing that- are they based overseas?- see that they buy from the sales in England as well.BlindLucky wrote:From the China Horse Club.

IMO, she really is a very beautiful mover, pedigree aside.Katewerk wrote:$3 Million for a weanling filly.
I really wonder how she came to be covered at two years old. Was she so horribly injured in pretraining or as a yearling that they figured she would never make it to the track, why not breed/sell? Considering she went for so much I would assume she wasn't exactly crippled.Natalma wrote:Her DOB is May 14, 2012 and her last covering date was April 9, 2014.

Unfortunately, there are a number of horses who are injured and done by that point in their career. Also could've been something with them as a foal or early on that precluded them ever being a racehorse. I don't think many are entirely comfortable with breeding at 2 even if they decide to do it.Northport wrote:I really wonder how she came to be covered at two years old.

Thanks for that, I'm tickled pink over this one. Hope she runs everyone off their feet.
I actually worked with her for a bit. She was a pretty yearling. Conformation wise she wasn't bad at all but they had trouble getting her right. Seemed like her body just didn't handle the sales prepping? Never did hear exactly what they found to be wrong. I have a cute picture of her with her Equissage on though.Admin wrote:
