IT HASN’T taken long for the money to flow at today’s Australian Pacing Gold Ladbrokes Yearling Sale.
Just 14 lots into the action and already $107,500 has been laid out for a colt, which follows $55,000 for a filly just minutes earlier.
By American Ideal, the filly is the second foal from Perfect Penny, which hails from the same family as Threepence, Franco Heir, Lady Luca, Our Sixpence and Franco Hat-trick – all Group Ones winners!
The youngster will join the stable of multiple premiership winning horseman Paul Fitzpatrick.
New Zealand horseman Mark Jones then parted with six figures for the colt, which is by Bettors Delight from Priceless Gem.
Boasting 10 wins and two Group One placings, Priceless Gem is a sister to Louvre and a half-sister to Miss Hazel and Renaissance Man – all Group One winners.
With another 120 lots to enter the ring, there are still plenty of bargains and winners to be had!
