While there are some lovely pedigreed fillies at Karaka this year, few if any will have more residual value than the Alamosa filly we present from the multiple group producing mare Vedodara.  Selling as Lot 5 early on the first morning of the Sale, the filly also has the looks to match her royal breeding, a pedigree which was further strengthened by the success of the three-year-old Schiffer in the$176,000 Myer Magic Millions Sprint at the Gold Coast on Saturday – Schiffer’s dam, the Montjeu mare Modave is a half sister to the Alamosa filly.

No yearling at the parades held to date at LA has turned more heads than the Thorn Park colt from group one winning Montjeu mare Sharvasti, a daughter of Vedodara. While his close relative the Alamosa filly is feminine and medium sized, this colt is masculine and powerful. Both yearlings would sell themselves on type anywhere in the world; to have the type backed up by a pedigree with so much depth and now to have Schiffer’s success and close relative Urban Rocker win in Sydney last week, is simply the icing on the cake. The Thorn Park colt sells late on the second day of the Sale as Lot 432.
