Most Expensive Mares – Are They Worth the Money? Tara Madgwick - Monday June 22 Our
story last week speculating on the impending sale of Sunlight and
where she would fit in the list of Australia’s most expensive mares sold
at public auction got us thinking about the others on the list and
where are they now?
G2 winner Miss Fabulass is by Frankel from Samantha Miss She was sent back to the UK for another service to Frankel in 2018,
so has a weanling filly by the champion Juddmonte sire and is now in
foal to I Am Invincible.

PART TWO- Most Expensive Mares – Are They Worth the Money Tara Madgwick - Wednesday June 24 Our
story last week speculating on the impending sale of Sunlight and
where she would fit in the list of Australia’s most expensive mares
sold at public auction got us thinking about the others on the list and
where are they now? This evening we look at those priced between $1.75
and $2million.
G1 placed Personal might be the elusive SW for Personify next season. The latter was third in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond and may yet be that elusive stakes-winner for Personify, who was covered by three different stallions last spring, the last of them All Too Hard. The yearlings from Personify sold at auction have generated $2.39 million in total. Lucida (Danehill (USA) – Lucida died in 2016 after being on-sold the previous year at MM National for $160,000 to Lakeview Resources having spent her previous years since her original sale with Fairway Thoroughbreds. She had eight foals that all raced for five winners with All That I Know (Mire Than Ready (USA) placing in a Listed race in Tasmania. Bounding (Lonhro) – Was sent to North America straight after the sale and her first foal, a colt by Curlin, sold for $4.1million at Keeneland September last year when bought by Godolphin and has been named Aussie Pride. She was covered by Medaglia D’Oro in 2019. Sale ring superstar! Bounding had a big pedigree subsequent to her sale with her half-brother Anthony Van Dyck winning the Group I Epsom Derby in 2019, their dam Believe ‘n’ Succeed is now based in Ireland after starting her stud career in Australia. Believe’n’Succeed was bought by Tom Magnier for $1.1million at the MM Broodmare Sale in 2014. The Broken Shore (Hussonet (USA) - Has had four named foals, three have raced and all have won headed by triple Group I winner Shoals (Fastnet Rock) and Group I placed Groundswell (Fastnet Rock) , who topped the 2018 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale when fetching $2.3million. Triple G1 winner Shoals - image Steve Hart She has an unraced two year-old colt by Medaglia D’Oro (USA) called Rapids and a yearling filly by Fastnet Rock. She is now in foal to I Am Invincible after missing the previous year.. Samaready (More than Ready (USA) – Sold this year in foal to Snitzel, who is the sire of her best offspring, MM 2YO Classic winner Exhilarates . Erato (Street Cry (IRE) – Had already produced Blue Diamond winner Lyre before the sale. Produced a colt by Russian Revolution for new owner last year that died subsequently and she was then covered by Lyre’s sire Lonhro. Gregers (Commands) – First foal is a Written Tycoon 2YO filly Future Force that has raced once and then she has a yearling colt by Written Tycoon, a weanling filly by Snitzel and is now in foal to Lonhro. |

Interesting thread.
Ultimately should be expanded to include million dollar yearling fillies. |

That would be quite illuminating. Especially part buybacks.
another pricelist I would dearly love to see is the R.O.I. of James Harron colt purchases. He has had a couple of successes but an inordinate amount of misses. Dean Watt might even have a better strike rate.

Can we do some assuming? High priced mares at auction are not returning on the investment. Coolmore trying to emulate Irish division, except over there they bred a lot of the SW mares, then used their stallions over those mares. The results are spectacular. Here in Oz, the comparisons are not worth commenting on. Abject failure. why???

How much publicity is Justify getting and is it worth the outlay alone for those mares ? How many broodmare owners will fall over themselves to be part of the Justify wastage ? |

Clearly Justify can expect a busier book this season, and yes the decision does smack at further marketing the stallion to outside breeders rather than Coolmore having to use too many of its own mares which was allegedly the case last season. As for the planned mating, it does absolutely nothing for me from a pedigree match perspective.
But almost remember being possibly wrong before.

I dont see Justify being a champ here in Ozz. On breeding. But lets see how he goes before you all crucify me. And I look like an idiot.
