S I Sales

The Annual South Island Sales were held at the Canterbury Agricultural Park on Friday 6th of August.


We were very pleased with the Darci Brahma- Climb the Vine filly. A lovely big filly with a very kind nature, her dam is a G2 winning mare who won two races as a 2 year old in Australia, She is very typical of the Darci Brahma stock, plain bay in colouring and the image of the Stallion, purchased for Explosive Breeding Ltd she is typical of the value that can be found at the sale each year. She has returned to our stables and is being broken in. Purchased for $10 000 she is well under service fee of $35000.


A Handsom son of Gallant Guru and Clear as a Bell was also purchased by Clive McCall of Christchurch, from the White Robe Lodge draft, his pedigree is filled with some of White Robe Robes high performers. Clear as a Bell is a 3/4 sister to Perceptible, the second dam being Auditory and the third dam being Attentive with Prized Gem dam of Nom De Jeu also featuring in the pedigree. This colt will need a little time to grow so he has been turned out to Cindy and Simon Hamptons property at Barhill and we will look at getting him to the breaker around Christmas time. Gallant Guru was very well received by buyers. When purchasing from White Robe Lodge you know you are buying a quality individual who has been given every possible chance to carry on as a racehorse.
