2yo trialling sale closure

I'll be there ... and I certainly would never have been buying one to sell at the trialling sale, anyway. It's a shame that sale has failed ... just seems no one can find a way to make them viable. I think they're quite a good thing for the industry and stimulates interest in the sport.

I wouldn't mind a future broodmare so bring me home any of Lots 1, 159 or 195 thanks Ben :D

[BenScadden]

Well, I can certainly do a deal with Lot 159, seeing we're the ones selling her! Hope a few others at the sale share your enthusiasm!

LOL I lose track of who is who on here Ben. Good luck

[BenScadden]

Thanks! We bought her mother (Sapphire Lil) as a yearling in NZ then had great fun racing her. Her filly's a cracker. Like I said, hopefully plenty of others agree, we get a fair price and she goes to a good home.

Those of you on Twitter will find a number of owners/breeders etc who have listed their lots with photos.


Here is Lot 66 for Sunday's Melbourne sale - Bettor's Delight out of the brilliant race mare Jazzam

There is a lot of interesting stuff on the APG website but you would think they could have incorporated these pics too

NB - the site will provide live streaming of the sale

How did you go Ben?
I was streaming but being down in Melb was eating up mobile allowance so I was connecting and disconnecting but with APG site difficulties missed your girl.
I would have gone but for the dog

Wow the results are already up (good work APG)
Ben would be out celebrating Eq top filly in sale!

[BenScadden]

Yes, we were very happy with the result.
She was a great type of filly - and we're rapt she was bought by a client of David Aiken, who trained the filly's dam, Sapphire Lil, for us with good success.
While it's great to get a good price, it's so important they go to a good home. It was a win on both counts for us.
Now we've got another 12 months to get Lil's Bettors Delight filly ready for APG 2016.

No doubt David had some influence

[BenScadden]

Yes, he certainly gave her a glowing endorsement. He really liked her mum and thought the filly was a great type. Hope his judgement is spot-on!
