The top horses were never worth more in the history of the Breeze-Up game. This was obvious at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up sale last week when the record for the most steep horse that was ever sold during the sale was not only broken once, but the top agents Richard Brown and Billy Jackson-Stops admitted to finding it.
Malcolm Bastards 1.75 million GNS record record-Havana Gray (GB) Colt played a fairly vital role in sales and achieved an all-time high of almost 20 million GNS. In addition, the clearance rate rested in extremely robust 83%, which indicates that the market gave a real depth. Another encouraging sign for providers.
Con Marnane, who sold the fifth-controlled horse in sales-a 650,000 GNS Havana Gray Colt to Godolphin-, still gives gaps on the market, which indicates that he brought two expansionally bought warm (GB) colts from sale.
“Hats from Tattersalls,” said Marnane, “it was a remarkable sale of the crowd that was there and the money that was around the place was phenomenal. We enjoyed a fantastic result with the Havana-Gray Colt, but we also took two hots to go home. I have to run them now and if they show something on the track, they would sell them to Australia.”
If at all, only a few agents can boast of the honor that Blandford Bloodstocks Brown has in recent years, and although he had bought in the name of a country, he could only get two horses from Starman (GB) and star -span banners (from) from the Cravener (from).
After the trade, Brown said: “It must have been the strongest Breeze-up sale of all time. The top was very forceful, but for me it was also as if the market gave much more depth.” Crucial. “
He added: “Olly Tait [Wathnan Racing Manager] It was very clear that we set a value of these horses and stick to this value. We don't have horses as high as other operations, so we didn't buy much last week. If this is the case with Doncaster, Arqana and beyond, be it. It can be the case that we don't buy many Breeze-up horses this year if you continue to exceed the ratings we set up on you. “

Jackson-Stops said he found that he was “tough” in the Craven orders. He spent 390,000 GNS for three horses, but admitted that he was surprised by the strength of the AMO race – who spent 3.16 million GNS for seven property and ended the sale as a leading buyer who played a crucial role in sales that exceeded all expectations.
He said: “It was definitely tough. But it is always like that. If you spend between 150,000 and 25,000,000, you always end up on the 400,000 and 500,000 horses and only hope that it could fall into your bracket. I thought that the craves would be as forceful as forceful buyers like the buyers like the Amo races. Buy, so there is no panic.
With all this money that floats around the buyers and adding the buyers openly to fulfill orders, a case could be made that there was never a better time to be a break-up handler. Not quite. Of the 133 pinhooks that went through the ring, 80 win and 53 fell flat on their face. This means that 60% of the yearlings who were bought for the only purpose of Breezieren made profit. Another promising statistics must be said, but so that we do not forget that the production costs have never been higher and the Craven is an elite sale. For many traders, it has to continue if you have a horse that can jump through the tires, make a bonus to pay the others. An example of this is Marnane's performance last week at the Nettelung of 650,000 GNS for the Havana Gray, but brought two horses home that were six figures. Be assured that there were many others in this boat, and the handler has made a quirky proposal that could aid support the middle market in the coming years.
Marnane said: “I think something should be done to aid the sales houses, the recipients and the buyers. A bonus program could work well and I have already swam the idea. Say, for example, if you decreased 2% of sales last year with a race with a value of 10,000 aid.

Goffs boss Henry Beby was far from rejecting such an idea, and when he spoke next week before his Breeze-Up sale, the sales house made great efforts to attract buyers from the world-especially the Middle Eastern to support the middle to the lower levels. With regard to the top end of the market, Brown warned that the Queen Mary Heroine Queen Mary Heldin Leovanni (Irish) (Kodi Bear {ire}) bought together with many other top stickers from the sale that Wathnan's headmaster would not change. When people thought that the ACE agent was sitting on the hands of Doncaster, which they might think again. Brown says he will only shop if the price is right.
“It's very basic,” he said. “We appreciate the horses. Olly and I sit down, he then goes to the powers that are for approval in Qatar, and they give us approval or they are not. It is. The values are set. For me there were many horses there [at the Craven] That went far beyond our reviews. As I said, it may well be that we don't buy many Breeze-up horses this year when the market continues. We have decided to be very disciplined and I think that will stop us in the long run. “
He added: “We will see what's up there [at Doncaster]. But how hopefully am I? Not very in view of the market. There will be other options that will imagine when the market is very forceful, but we will go up there and work tough there, and if there are some nice horses up there, we will surely try. But we just try it. We don't have the feeling that we have to buy a lot of Breeze-up horses. We are not under pressure. We have the market for horses in training, we have our own two -year -olds from the annual market and then also buy the route. So we are not under pressure, for example buying 10 Breeze-up horses. We only take care of every sale, every horse and every opportunity that represents itself. “
