47th Annual Blooded Horse Winter Sale Review
February 11, 2010
The blizzard that raged across the Midwest and East Coast paralyzed traffic and left hundreds of thousands without power. Yet, it couldn’t stop horsemen from 25 states, five Canadian provinces, and Europe from plowing their way to the famed Delaware Co fairgrounds for the 47th Annual Winter Sale.
"The conditions were very unpleasant," said sale manager Jerry Haws. "I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding and for the extreme effort it took to get themselves and their horses to the sale. We had a good crowd and a good sale."
Walnut Hall Ltd’s consignment topped the two day event with its trotters. Lady Stormont, with a new Deweycheatumnhowe foal by her side, drew applause from the crowd when she sold for $80,000 to Eric Baker of Long Sault, Ontario.
Kidman Hall, a Like A Prayer half-sister to Amour Angus and in foal to Deweycheatumnhowe, went home with Dr. John Hurtgen of Nandi Farm for $55,000. Jules Siegel got the 1:54.4 $300,000 winner Go Go Gabby, also in foal to Deweycheatumnhowe, for $45,000.
Enchanting Lady and her new Deweycheatumnhowe foal went to John Magnusson of Paris, KY, who purchased the 3,TT1:55.2 daughter of Angus Hall for $40,000.
Walnut Hall Ltd yearlings were led by Vixen Hall, a Tom Ridge filly from the family of B Cor Pete, for $16,500. Garnet Hall, a Striking Sahbra daughter of Go Go Gabby brought $15,500.
Armbro Approach, a son of Mr. Lavec, out of a half-sister to Super Bowl, was purchased by Heath Calvert of Illinois for $27,000. |
