The unreserved dispersal of Shadwell Stud weanlings at Magic Millions produced an astonishing result for Little Avondale Stud’s Per Incanto (USA) when a colt from Nasaayim sold for $500,000, which is a new record price for his sire.
The handsome chestnut was prepared for sale by Yarraman Park and bought by George Moore Bloodstock and is by a sire that flies somewhat under the radar in terms of the Australian market.
Standing at a fee of $25,000 this spring at Little Avondale, Per Incanto has left four Group I winners and is the sire of rising star sprinter Lost and Running, who won his first stakes race last weekend for the John O’Shea stable and is being touted as an Everest contender.
The star colt is the first foal of Nasaayim, a metropolitan winning Redoute’s Choice three-quarter sister to Group III winner Dracarys from stakes-winner Nocturnelle.
Nasaayim was a $650,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Shadwell back in 2017 and will be offered in the Shadwell Broodmare Dispersal as Lot 812 and is now foal to Blue Point (IRE).
