New Zealand Bloodstock's Winter Mixed Bloodstock Sale concluded today [Sunday] with 80 lots sold for total takings of NZ$588,950 and a clearance rate of 73%.

With 133 lots catalogued the Sale comprised broodmares, yearlings, two-year-olds, unraced stock and racehorses and saw an average price of NZ$7,362 reached.

The top lot of the day came at lot 85 in the unraced stock section. The three-year-old Pins filly was bought by Taupo-based Bromley Bloodstock for NZ$170,000. From the Twin Pines consignment, she is the second foal from the O'Reilly mare, She's Snubbed. This purchase sees Bromley the leading buyer of the Sale with Twin Pines the leading vendor.

The sales arm of Mike Tololi's thoroughbred interests sold 11 horses for total receipts of $197,600. Their average of NZ$17,964 saw them top the Sale on that account also.

The second highest priced lot of the day was from the broodmare offering. Rockford Lodge sold lot 37, Superjet, to Bill Gleeson's Wellfield Holdings Ltd for NZ$55,000. The dual-Listed race winner is from the family of the outstanding racemares Petrava and Hoeberg.

Focus now turns South for New Zealand Bloodstock's South Island Sale of Two-Year-Olds and Mixed Bloodstock next Friday 5 August at the Canterbury Agricultural Park.
