We Came – We Saw – We Conquered!
Day 1 of the
2021 INGLIS Melbourne Premier Sale at Oaklands Junction, Team Dynamic were only searching for elite quality youngsters to add to our outstanding team of yearlings we have been accumulating in 2021.
When we inspected
Lot 142, a cracking
colt by AMERICAN PHAROAH – the
Champion Racehorse and Champion First and now Champion Second Season Sire in the USA, we decided he was one we had to own, subject to vetting cleanly.
When our
vet Dr Tim Roberts gave him the green light for us to buy him, we made the colt a target and when the hammer fell on our bid of
$110,000 + GST, this awesome lad was destined to have
a new team of Dynamic owners.
LOT 142 our AMERICAN PHAROAH Colt is from the excellent race filly LISSON GROVE - a daughter of Dehere.
She won 2 races at 2, including the SAJC Dermody S.,
LR and MRC Hialeah H. She was also placed 2nd in the MRC Marie Louise H. and 3rd MRC August H.
LISSON GROVE is the Dam of
5 foals to Race;
3 Winners and
1 Placegetter.
Her progeny has been eagerly sought in the Sale Ring.
She has produced
5 yearlings to sell for six figures, selling at: $400,000, $250,000, $145,000, $110,000 (2).
LISSON GROVE is a Sister to the dam of
FARAWAY TOWN (Gr3 Winner / Gr1 placed).
LISSON GROVE is also is a half-sister to
SW ONLY A LADY (dam of
SW REDWOOD FALLS)
, also
SW SMOKO and to the dam of
SP JETTING TO LONDON.
Importantly, when
our veterinarian Dr Tim Roberts inspected him, he rated him in as a type, within the "Top Colts" at the Sale.
Then when he was found to have a terrific endoscopic evaluation rated as a
Grade 1 and noted as very large throat for extra windflow, this made us even more excited and then when the
X-Rays were considered low risk and Tim gave us the green light to proceed, we did our due diligence work and valuation.
We consider the mating desirable.
This cross has produced
6 Stakes Winners to date including:
Gr1 Winner EMOLLIENT, Gr3 Winners CHEERMEISTER, LEVANTE LION and Listed Winners COURTIER, MY TITTY, TASTING THE STARS.
We valued this colt highly. Just before the colt entered the ring,
the sale was averaging $142,000 and the
Median was
$110,000.
AMERICAN PHAROAH across the previous
Sales in 2021 was Averaging $188,000 and had a Median of $150,000. Standing at a
Service Fee of $66,000 in year of conception and
$55,000 in 2020, we felt the colt was a
3 – 3.5 times service fee individual on pedigree, type and clean veterinary inspection. That would value the colt on our market appraisal at between
$150,000 to $175,000 + GST on current service fee. That figure was in line with the sale averaging
$142,000 at the time of sale. So, we believed he was worth up to a
maximum ceiling price of $180,000.
However, it’s not always what you know, as often its more about who you know, and having a chat to
“the right people” we discovered the colt was the property of a
Foal Share and must be offered for UNRESERVED SALE.
So, we knew he was on the market from the opening bid. This can be a major advantage to buyers as we are not competing against
the vendor as well as other potential buyers.
Our latest Acquisition - Lot 142 AMERICAN PHAROAH x LISSON GROVE Bay Colt at Yarraman Park
When
Adam Watt bid $90,000 for us, our bid was countered at
$100,000. Adam Watt shot a bid straight back at $110,000 and that seemed to frighten off his peers, because they would have needed to be $120,000 for their next bid. They obviously
went weak at the knees and our bid of
$110,000 wasn’t contested.
The Colt became a member of the Dynamic Syndications Team for $110,000 + GST.
That is exactly where the
median price of the sale was sitting.
