She was later purchased by Cambridge Stud for $1.1 million on Gavelhouse Plus. <\/p>\n
Bidding on the Snitzel colt developed into a two-way battle between determined buyers who exchanged rapid-fire $25,000 bids from the $400,000 mark onwards. <\/p>\n
In the end, the colt was knocked down to Chris Waller Racing and Mulcaster Bloodstock. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a beautiful colt by a champion sire, Snitzel, out of a Filly of the Year in Amarelinha,\u201d which Mulcaster commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a really good client who wanted to buy a good colt today, and hopefully he\u2019s going to buy some good fillies tomorrow as well \u2013 fingers crossed. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a horse that we saw early, and he just stayed in my mind. We were lucky enough to take our client to see him today, and the colt behaved really well. <\/p>\n
\u201cBuying off Cambridge Stud, you can\u2019t go wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n
The headlining colt headed a highly successful first day of the sale for Cambridge Stud, which sold 29 horses on Sunday for a total of $6.4 million and an average price of $220,862. <\/p>\n
They also fetched $650,000 for a colt by first-season sire Anamoe out of the stakes-placed Savabeel mare Save The Date, who was bought by Mulberry Racing. A colt by Savabeel out of the Sea The Moon mare Allemande was sold to Shijiazhuang Hongtao Horse Breeding for $550,000. <\/p>\n
The $850,000 Snitzel colt was the fifth purchase of the day for the Waller\/Mulcaster team, who spent a total of $1.71 million.<\/p>\n
They previously went to $440,000 to buy Lot 177, a colt by Satono Aladdin out of Group Two performer Taviarma, then paid $200,000 for a full-brother to the Chris Waller-trained Group One winner Kovalica. That Ocean Park colt went through the ring as Lot 222. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve picked and chosen what we\u2019ve been buying today, and we\u2019ve done pretty well,\u201d Mulcaster said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got quite a long list, so we\u2019ll see how we go tomorrow.\u201d <\/p>\n
Te Akau\u2019s David Ellis finished the opening day in his usual position of leading buyer, with 11 purchases for a total of $3.15 million and an average price of $286,363.<\/p>\n
His highest-priced yearling of the day was Lot 147, a colt by Home Affairs out of the stakes-performed Fastnet Rock mare Special Memories, which he secured for $475,000. \u2013 NZ Racing Desk. <\/p>\n
