Kela's first yearling at public auction sells for $30,000!

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

At the recent Fasig Tipton July Yearling Sale, the first yearling offered at auction by Kela brought an impressive $30,000.

Consigned by Burleson Farm, Hip #304, a bay filly out of the dam Kidnap Katie was purchased by Leprechaun Racing, a group that syndicates its sales purchases to race and-or pinhook the following year.

Offspring by Kela have commanded an impressive amount of attention at public auction thus far. His first crop weanlings averaged three times his stud fee at $22,000 and if the Fasig Titpton sale is any indication, the upcoming Keeneland September Sale should be quite successful for the promising young stallion.

G1 Goldmine is quickly becoming the pedigree program of choice for the farm. While we have Tesio Power, Compusire, Enicks and G1 Goldmine we inevitably find ourselves going back to G1 more often then not.

It requires more time and effort then programs like Enicks, which are essentially popular because it requires almost no effort on the user's part and gives a simple pass, fail score in seconds. (the trade off is some surprising inconsistencies and grading flaws ) While Goldmine doesnt give a simple pass fail score, there is not  program on the market lets you dig in to a cross and provide you with as much useful information on Continue...

Northern Dancer

In his offspring, however, Kela will only give Northern Dancer 5x4, and there are now a considerable number of good stakes winner with three crosses of Northern Dancer. Therefore, Kela should still be able to work with Northern Dancer line mares, particular mare by grandsons and great grandsons of Northern Dancer, who will only give Northern Dancer 5x4x4 or 5x4x5

There are some Northern Dancer strains which are particularly interesting here. Numerous is out of a mare who is a three-parts-sister to Nureyev, and very closely related to the brothers Sadler’s Wells, Fairy King and Tate Gallery. Numerous has already sired U.S grade one winner Numerous Times out of a Continue...
