The best was saved for last at today’s NZB Standardbred National Weanling Sale at Karaka.
One of only two yearlings at the sale, Lot 108, a Captaintreacherous – Spandau Ballet colt, was purchased by Mark Jones for $80,000.
It concluded a sale that struggled at times, with many failing to reach their reserve.
A total of 106 weanlings were put up for sale with the top price going to Lot 31, a Captaintreacherous – Juice Brogden colt, sold by Graham and Judy Bowen under their Brogden Lodge banner.
It was sold for $60,000 to Cran Dalgety and Kentuckiana Lodge.
After breeding standardbreds for nearly 20 years this is the last sale for the Bowens – they are retiring and have sold their horse float for a campervan as they look forward to travelling the country.
