Mick Price secured the Fastnet Rock – My Dream Girl colt that was offered by Royston Stud.  The Caulfield trainer led domestic buyers with four lots purchased for $297,000. 

Hong Kong based Magus Equine agent Willie Leung rounded out as the biggest spending buyer over the two day sale signing for seven lots at $558,000.

New Zealand’s David Ellis finished up spending $395,000 for four lots headed by Tuesday’s sale topping Sebring – Bramble Rose colt for $230,000.  Other significant buyers included World Wide Bloodstock’s Andy Williams from South Africa and emerging Singapore trainer Theo Kieser.
