After picking up a beautiful filly on Day 1 for our Filly Partnership, we were back in action early on Day 3 of the New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale, purchasing an outstanding son of multiple Group 1 winner and Champion St Mark’s Basilica from Hallmark Stud for NZ$220,000.
Lot 499 - St Mark’s Basilica x Bronte Lass colt - NZ$220,000
This colt is a half-brother to a smart filly Bronte Beach, who was Group 3 placed as a 2YO, and from the family of good 2YOs such as Earnshaw, Zelanda and Pearl Grey. Further back this is the family of the outstanding filly Zarkava, who was an unbeaten Prix de L’arc de Triomphe winner.
