Hi Mightymo
Were you happy with your results today ?

Hi Mango.

Overall yes, as i wasnt sure what to expect as the sentiment in NZ has been very negative recently.

Lot 7 was a very racy, good type, but a little on the small side. He was very early in the sale. i was thinking around 30K. I got 25K

Lot 130 and 178 were both very nice types. Lot 178 was tipped by the preparers to bring more, but she developed a very nasty abscess in the last week which caused her to lose some condition.

I was thinking around 45-50K for each.

I was extremely happy getting 70k for 130, but then very disappointed that 178 only brought 30K.

In a nutshell, im happy and onto Christchurch we go with 10 lots to be sold. Hopefully things go the same way

Can anyone post the top 5 lots (and buyers)??

why do the kiwis all name their horses before the sales?

and no wonder NZ sales have always had higher prices for the top end, some amazing families there that just wouldnt be for sale in aus

[mightymo]

i know the top lot was lot 17 - sold for 170K to Gareth Dixon/Kerry Hoggard
Lot 47 - 135K - Emilio Rosati(Aust)
Lot 146 - 110K - John Street
Lot 165 - 112500 - Mark Purdon

Hi Eljay
