I am a bit late getting into this as the Sydney sale is Feb 20
I have made a start and there are some sensational lots especially the fillies in the early lot numbers
Expect Big Big Big dollars for Filly Lots 12, 19 ***, 30
per un PUGNO di DOLLARI
The early lots may have been dominated by well bred fillies but after that the well bred colts dominate
I see the following as creating a lot of interest:
35A, 37 ***, 40 ***, 57, 74, 89, 92 ***, 94 ***, 96
plus a couple more filly lots:
47, 55, 62, 104
For some of these the cross is more proven than others
There are numerous other good lots that I have not mentioned

Looking at the Melbourne Sale now. I am convinced that it is a big mistake mixing the trotters with the pacers
This sale has 144 horses catalogued. 72 pacers and 72 trotters. If you split them, those interested in only one gait would only have to spend half as long at the sale

Of to a slow start at the Sydney sale
Online coverage is excellent including video clips (it looks a good venue)
a Sweet Lou ½ bro to Malcolms Rhythm sold for $35k and is easily the best so far

Lot 13 an Art Major x Bettors colt just went for $44k
The cross is not as successful as you would expect

How do you like this one's tail

Those early lots were an aberration
The prices have been a lot more than I expected for some lots

The handler pictured in post 6, preparer Melanie Settree, was the handler for so many lots (Brooklyn Lodge), she kept it fresh by changing her outfit 5 times = 6 outfits
Melanie has been the ultimate professional for some time and you will see that Dean Baring wrote back in 2017
"Getting Ladbrokes to sponsor some outfits for Melanie next year is on my to do list."

Being a Vic, I had to research the name/Brooklyn Lodge story (see below)

Nearly all those I highlighted went for good dollars including the two Sale Topping colts that went for $150k
Lot 40 - American Ideal x Beninjured, a full bro to Centenario and a half to Tough Tilly
Lot 94 - Somebeachsomewhere x Nike Franco, her first foal
The second is definitely a bigger gamble as there is not a lot to go on including for Somebeachsomewhere x McArdle

There were not many trotters in at Sydney but the 2nd last lot of the sale went for $85k. A Majestic Son x Princess Phoenix
I think that was the second time I heard that David Moran was the purchaser (but don't trust my hearing) - maybe he is going to keep busy by breaking a couple in
