LOPE DE VEGA in HOT DEMAND at Tattersall’s Record Breaking Yearling Sale

11 Oct 24

The Yearlings Sales in the Northern Hemisphere have been mind blowing with how “HOT” the market has been. Prices have increased across all KPI’s and have left breeders with big smiles and participants scratching their heads as to the continuing sizzling growth in the sector.

Obviously its spurred on by massive increases in prizemoney across the globe.

The number one sale in the Northern Hemisphere has just wrapped up after 3 days of incredible sale which saw new benchmarks:

Total Turnover increased 12%

Total Numbers Sold up 4%

Median Sale Price was up a staggering 39% to 250,000 Guineas = $508,593 AUD

Average Sale Price was up an incredible 52% to 370,501 Guineas = $753,737 AUD

Whilst there was a new record Sale Price for a Yearling at the Sale:

Frankel Colt sold for 4,400,000 Guineas = $8,951,354 AUD

Wootton Bassett Colt Sold for 4,300,000 Guineas = $8,746,683 AUD

These trends have traditionally led the market forces here in Australia 4 months later.

We have been analysing the results closely, particularly those of the Super Sire LOPE DE VEGA

LOPE DE VEGA - Leading Sire in Europe

That’s because we only have a handful of shares remaining in the colt we have on offer with Ciaron Maher

LOPE DE VEGA stands at Ballylinch Stud in Ireland for 125,000 EURO = $202,772 AUD.

The current exchange rate for EURO to AUD is:

1.00 Euro = 1.6221822 Australian Dollars / 1.00 AUD = 0.616454 EURO

He saw 24 of his progeny sell at the sale to a Sale High of 750,000 Guineas = $1,525,781 AUD

His Median = $387,500 Guineas = 406,875 GBP = AUD $788,329 = 3.89 x Service Fee

His Average = $372,625 Guineas = 391,256 GBP = AUD $758,067 = 3.74 x Service Fee

LOPE DE VEGA is the leading sire in Europe.

Below is the current Sires Premiership Table.

So, it’s no wonder the market was HOT for the LOPE DE VEGA progeny and when the Median and the Average are close in figures, that’s when you truly know a sire is in demand and off a $202,000 AUD Service Fee, the market is prepared to pay 3.8 times to secure one, then as the saying goes: “Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.” The data and facts speak for themselves.

Now we look at the incredible value we have with our colossal 2YO colt by LOPE DE VEGA x PRINCESS LAYAN.

Our 2yo Colt by LOPE DE VEGA ex PRINCESS LAYAN - March 24

Our COLT is at $8,550 per 5% Share. That values him at just $171,000 which is less than the current Service Fee.

He was bred in Australia coming down from the Northern Hemisphere in foal to PRINCESS LAYAN who was bred to Southern Hemisphere time and the mare was exported to Australia.

Our Colt - 19 September

Our Colt under saddle 19-9

Our Colt has continued to develop into a magnificent type and has been bred to be a Guineas / Derbies / Cups candidate.

Bred on a A+++ cross this is the colt to secure if you have harboured dreams of the Blue Riband Classic Contests.

Don’t delay as only a handful of shares now remain.
