Covering an
unprecedented book (some 190 mares) in his first season at stud in Ireland,
expectations were high for the Champion 2YO, Bushranger.
Fortunately the
first box was ticked when Tally-Ho – the famous Irish farm which bred and now
stand the multiple Group One winner – reported the first foals of Bushranger
had generated considerable repeat bookings due to their “athleticism and
quality”.
Well, the pen
has come out again with the first Bushranger offerings making a splash at this
week’s November Foal Sale at Ireland with his youngsters selling up to €58,000 (A$78,000).
All up, 11 of the
Bushranger foals sold for €40,000 or more and, according to the UK’s Racing
Post, pinhookers were very active and you can expect to see a large number of
foals sold making a reappearance in the sale ring as yearlings.
And, at the
Tattersalls December Foal Sale (which actually kicks off on 22 November)
another 15 Bushranger (below) youngsters are up for grabs, including half relations to
several stakes winners.
