We are delighted and so proud of all our AES breeders' achievements at yesterday's Bolesworth Elite Foal Auction. With 10 of the 12 sold foals registered with the AES foals and achieving the highest prices, it really was a fantastic night for British breeders! The breeder of the night, without a shadow of a doubt, was Di Lampard, who bred the most expensive foal, Casalljack (Casall Ask x Ruby VIII), who sold for £33,000, followed by the second most expensive foal, Conthargo (Conthargos x Ruby VIII) who sold for £30,000. Out of of the wonderful Tinka's Serenade, Sue Davies bred Starlight Serenade (by Big Star) who achieved the third highest price at £27,000. She was the first of three very successful Big Star offspring, including Wild Child HF (Big Star x Wild Rose) bred by Nick Ward and Ashdale Direct Star (Big Star x Ashdale Luxara) bred by Dave Quick. There was a super result for Jonny Durham who bred the last of the foal lots, Con Amora HD (Conthargos x Concordia) who sold for £20,000.  Another outstanding result was achieved by Steve Pullan who bred Aredis Corrida (Cornet Obolensky x Jonka van Maarle) who sold for £18,000. As always, there was strong representation from Millfield Stud with Millfield Social Isolation (Cardento x Millfied Pollyanna) who sold for £10,000 and Millfield Divinity (Diarado x Millfield Tina) who sold for £11,500. Jay Halim's JTH Cromwell (Derby x Martha 55) sold for £8500 and Khaleesi (Plot Blue x La Quigley) who had the difficult Lot 1 slot, sold for £7000. She is bred by Charlotte Jones. Congratulations to you all, and thank you very much to Nina Barbour and her team who truly rose to the challenge of Covid 19 to deliver a successful and inspiring auction!
