It takes a village 🙌 A heartfelt thank you to the WS team for their tireless efforts across the week, our buyers and clients for their support, and congratulations to the NZ industry for reaching an incredible 100 years of sales - a truly remarkable milestone! We look forward to following the journey of the #WSNZBred ahead 💚
Daff's final foal, a Noverre colt born 11 October 2024 heads to the Shailer Racing / Hughes Bloodstock team as a stunning yearling 🌼 Gone but not certainly not forgotten, Daffodil’s legacy lives on through her daughters and sons #WSNZBred
Cheers to Michael Gregg, Lachlan Sheridan, @mulberryracing & @bradwiddupracing 🍻 very good to catch up with Lachie after they purchased the Super Seth ex Galanthus filly (Lot 439, $300,000) - we hope she’s another Jedibeel (Sav ex Starry) for you! #WSNZBred
