Hello,
I was pretty surprised to see "User Friendly" as Granddam of Funstar.

Btw, User Friendly traces back to "Picture Play"/Absurdity and was one of  a handful of Stakes Winners by Slip Anchor (Millreef and a descent of "Schwarzgold"). She isn't the first import of the abovementioned imvaluable broodmar, SOME EARLIER IMPORTS ARE RED GAUNTLET (NEARULA), PEMBROKE CASTLE (HENRY THE SEVENTH) AND MAJOR GENERAL (COURT MARTIAL).

Her Sire damline Adelaide is in Germany represented, too. To make things even more interesting Lord Fandango (By Lord of England) was sent to AUS.

If you do a hypomating Lord Fandango/Funstar it looks like great fun.

regards, Ticino

Sadly for Lord Fandango, hypothetical is all it will ever be as the poor lad was gelded only a couple of years ago. Extremely interesting tho' as Red Gauntlet & Major General were very influential stallions Smile

Shyte have just wasted two minutes awaiting your reply.  Hope I'm not again too late to bid.

In all seriousness BOL to the winning bidder, but had I plenty would rather have shelled out $3.2m for Arcadia Queen based on price, pedigree and performance.

World Record broken by
Northern Farm-bound Funstar

Funstar will join half sister Youngstar at Northern Farm in Japan after tonight selling to Katsumi Yoshida for a Digital Sale world record price of $2.7m in the Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Auction.

Northern Farm, who bought Youngstar for $1.4 million at last year’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale, was one of eight different bidders over the $1 million mark for the G1-winning daughter of Adelaide.

In realising $2.7m, Funstar also becomes the highest priced mare to be sold ‘under the hammer’ at public auction in 2021.

“I am so thrilled that we were able to purchase a beautiful mare,” Yoshida said.

“We have her (half) sister Youngstar and also have mares related to the granddam User Friendly.

“We are looking forward to seeing their progenies winning in Japan.”

Funstar’s managing owner Olly Koolman – who discovered the filly at the 2018 Easter Yearling Sale where he purchased her for $80,000 – was lost for superlatives at the result.

“I’m absolutely stunned. It’s hard to fathom just how much of an amazing result this is,’’ Koolman said.

“She was a fabulous race filly and mare and we had a lot of fun with her but never in our wildest dreams did we expect she would sell for $2.7m in any sale, let alone a digital sale.

“I cannot speak highly enough of the Inglis Digital team, they worked their absolute butts off to promote this mare to buyers around the world and as an ownership group, I can’t speak highly enough of the Inglis team and what they have done to create a scenario where we get to reap the rewards of this result.

“We’ve been glued to our computers since mid-afternoon, we opened a bottle of champagne at $1.3m to celebrate, so it’s incredible to be sitting here now with her having made $2.7m.

“We wish Northern Farm all the best with her, we thank all the underbidders and we can’t wait to sit back and see her progeny running in years to come.’’

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing
