Our strong Premier Sale results carried over into the Select Sale which finished at Karaka on Friday afternoon. LA finished the session as the third leading vendor by average, selling 12 lots at an average of $64,000, a record average for the farm at the Select Sale.

The only Zed yearling, pictured right, in the catalogue belonged to our colt from Maria’s Story, LOT 887 and the close relation to Melbourne Cup runner-up Maluckyday sold to the owners of Haylist in Perth for $50,000.

Following on from the Premier Sale where his only yearling sold for $170,000, Towkay had another strong session finishing in tenth position on the Sires by Averages with six lots selling for an average price of $64,000.
