She would motor home with a hot speed on.

With due respect to Whitto it's a family that's rarely sold well, and you need to go back to Stenorette for some black type.

Until this talented mare can herself win some black type she's still only a $50k job imo.

Grey Countess should have been at least stakes placed. Still has black type win/place in her.

She is a half sister to one of my broodmares 'Second Draw' who is in foal to Lope de Vega and has a Trusting colt. Second Draw raced in black type races against the like of Folding Gear, was nosed out by Sea Lord & raced in an Oaks (upside down).

Its a nice family who is increasing with quality so not surprised the bid is that high due to her broodmare potential as well.

How should have she been at least stakes placed when her only run at that level she was beaten over 7 lengths? The going rate for a city winning stakes placed mare off the track at the moment is about $30-$40k (unless of course the pedigree is dripping with black type) so even with the possibility of racing on with this one you'd think $40-$50k would absolutely see her out taking into account what you'd be left with if she broke down tomorrow.

$150 is massive overs. If she was mine and somebody offered $100k I'd have her on the float in a heartbeat.

Kudos to them for recognising the demand for such an initiative & setting it up. I'm sure many will make use of the opportunity in the future & if not, well, they had a go Thumbs Up

Pago Rock for sale tonight

Stakes winner offered at online auction

Stakes winning sprinter Pago Rock has been put up for sale by co-trainer and owner David Hayes, but not via the usual method.

Hayes has offered the eight-year-old for sale via an online auction which closes on Tuesday night.

The Hall of Fame trainer said the horse still has plenty of racing left in him but would be better suited in a new environment.

“He’s been a consistent old horse that’s still got more in him and I wanted to sell him while he’s got plenty of racing left in him,” Hayes said.

“Every preparation that I’ve had him he’s made nice money and I think if someone buys him for the right price they’ll do well with him.

“He knows all of my tricks. Sometimes a change of environment can stimulate these old horses, especially when they’re sound like he is.”

Pago Rock last raced when unplaced in the Christmas Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on Boxing Day.

The son of Rock of Gibraltar achieved a career-highlight with a victory in the 2013 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m), before going on to finish runner-up in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes later that year and fourth in 2014 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes at Group 1 level.

Hayes, who currently trains in partnership with his nephew Tom Dabernig, said he has already used online auction company bloodstockautction.com to sell a number of horses.

“We’ve decided to give it a go and I think it might be the way of the future,” he said.

“We normally sell horses at a traditional sale but I just felt those sales are a long way away so I thought I’d give this a chance and if it works I’ll be using it to sell more horses this way.”

Interestingly, it is not just racehorses and broodmares that can be purchased via online auction, with 2003 Victoria Derby runner-up Kempinsky, who has sired over 100 individual winners since retiring to stud, also for sale.

Pago Rock had attracted 49 bids by 5.00pm Monday with his price up to $26,000, while Kempinsky was up to 24 bids and $10,500 at the same time with both horse’s auctions set to close on Tuesday night.
