Widden Stud had the honour of offering the first mare in foal to their exciting young sire Trapeze Artist and Samara Dancer (NZ) proved a popular commodity, secured by Victorian based Sheamus Mills Bloodstock/ Longwood Thoroughbred Farm for $750,000.
Winner of the Group II MRC Blue Diamond Prelude, Samara Dancer is a half-sister by Hinchinbrook to Group III winner Éclair Big Bang from a solid Black Type family.
Her first two seasons at stud have produced a colt and filly by I Am Invincible and she was offered in foal to Snitzel’s champion son Trapeze Artist, who was Australia’s busiest first season sire last year covering 180 mares at a fee of $88,000.
His fee for 2020 is $77,000.
Widden Stud were quick to step into the market as a buyer securing Lot 10, She’s a Wildcat, the full sister to Group I winner Foxwedge for $230,000.
She was offered in foal to Flying Artie as part of the Luskin Park Dispersal and had a major pedigree update as her two year-old Untamed (colt by Pierro) is now a stakes-winner of the Listed ATC Fernhill Handicap.
