South Coast bloodstock enterprise Bell View Park have built a reputation for meeting the market, which is important in the current economic climate and since their first draft of mares in 2017 have sold 67 out of 68 lots offered at the Magic Millions National Sale, which is good reason to see what they are offering in 2020.
Bell View Park will present a select, high quality draft of 10 mares (four racing / breeding prospects and six pregnant mares) at the Gold Coast.
"I'm really excited with the group of mares we have put together for this sale. Physically they are a very appealing draft of mares and are backed up with some excellent pedigrees, race records and highly commercial matings,” said Adam Mackrell.
This highly desirable draft includes: a stakes winner; two stakes placed getters and four metropolitan winners and includes daughters of outstanding sires such as Kingman, I am Invincible, High Chaparral, Hussonet, Dubawi and Northern Meteor.
The pregnant mares are in foal to the likes of Fastnet Rock, Dundeel, American Pharoah, Not A Single Doubt and Exceed and Excel and importantly seven out of the 10 mares carry no Danehill blood which opens up a wide range of breeding options.
Here are some of the highlight lots of the draft:
Lot 60: Royal Welcome (GB) (Kingman)
An attractive, powerful daughter of hot young European sire Kingman who currently has a strike rate of 11.4% stakes winners to runners.
