JHB Broodmare Partnership sells big in Saratoga

Constitution x Emro filly at Atlas Farm, Kentucky, USA

It was in 2022 that we identified a mare in Kentucky at the Fasig-Tipton November Breeding Stock Sale who, as a 2YO stakes winner, would be an ideal candidate for our Elite Broodmare Partnership. Named Emro, she was also offered in foal to Constitution, who was just beginning to emerge as a very promising stallion in America. We were thrilled to secure Emro for US$425,000 on behalf of the partnership.

Fast forward to the current day, and it was time for the resultant yearling that Emro was carrying at the time was offered today in the Fasig Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale through the Bedouin Bloodstock draft. After parading in great style through the inspection period she was the subject of great attention from the buyers, and was eventually sold for US$500,000 to Lael Stables, more than covering the initial purchase price of her dam.

Thanks have to go to Neal Clark and Conor Doyle, who did a great job bother raising the filly at Atlas Farm and at the sales under their Bedouin Bloodstock banner.

Emro is now very well travelled herself. Having foaled down the Constitution filly, she was subsequently sent to the UK and bred to Juddmonte’s outstanding stallion Frankel. She is now resident at Newgate Farm here in Australia and due to foal in the next fortnight, ahead of a date with multiple Champion sire Snitzel in 2024.

Congratulations to our Broodmare Partnership clients Belinda Bateman, the Doyle family, Rob Love and Phil & Glenda Mehrten.
