Yulong Secure $1.8million Savabeel Mare Provence
A triple Group I winner by champion sire Savabeel, Provence was always going to be a highly sought after mare at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale and she duly sold for $1.8million.
Consigned by Newgate on behalf of her New Zealand based owners Milan Park, Provence was an elite racemare that won over $1million and has a lovely pedigree to back that up.
She is a full sister to stakes-winner Damask Rose and her second and third dams, Te Akau Rose and Straussbridge, are both stakes-winners with Group I winning sire Brutal also on the page.
“It’s great to have a lovely Savabeel like her to join the broodmare band, so we’ll retire her and send her up to Segenhoe and get her ready for the breeding season,” said Sam Fairgray of Yulong.
“We haven’t decided on a sire for her just yet, but it will be either Devil Night or Private Harry.
“You don’t find many Savabeel mares that have won three Group 1 races, so to be able to add a mare like her to the broodmare band is fantastic.”
Yulong did find one other triple Group I winning mare Savabeel paying $2.7million for Atishu at the MM National Broodmare Sale last year and she is now in foal to Alabama Express.
