On the closing day of the 2022 MagicMillions Adelaide Yearling Sale, The Chase, a subsidiary of chC's Horse Owners Club, achieved an excellent result of selling an average amount and total price among the 72 suppliers participating in the auction, which is gratifying!
"Russian vanguard" x "wayward" little stallion
It was an absolutely stunning debut for The Garden Farm in Australia's Southern Highlands. Not only were all aged horses sold 100%, but the average selling price of $156,000 (approximately RMB716,000) exceeded 250% of the average selling price on the opening day. More importantly, it's the most noble tribute to the late Farm Manager Kerrie Vantijn. Prior to her tragic and unexpected death, she was responsible for all operations of the racecourse, including preparations for the auction.
"Kelly is from South Australia, so she was even more emotional when she entered this southern auction. The auction of the five-year-old horses brought by the Farm was a great relief. CHC Australia representative Michael Smith said.
"At the first auction of the farm, we specially selected five dazzling year-old horses, four of which were from the popular young stallion 'Russian Revolution'. The enthusiastic response of the buyers at the auction was the greatest affirmation of the work of the entire team of The Garden Farm. ”
"Russian Vanguard" x "Rare Treasure" Little Stallion

The CHC stallion "Russian Pioneer" showed the strength of its high-quality genes at the beginning of its breeding career, and the heirs were well-qualified. There is no doubt that he will be the most representative patrilineal of the participants in the world's two-year-old horse's highest prize money competition, the $5 million (about 22.94 million) G1 First Class Golden Slippers Competition.
The patriarch, who began his breeding career at Newgate Farm, pinned his hopes on his descendants, the "Girl of Change"; the "Russian Conquest", who finished runner-up in the Fantastic Millions competition, and the "Rise of the Masses", who won the G3 Pago Pago Stakes last Saturday, the three "Russian pioneers" The heirs will compete in the Golden Slippers Contest with other strong opponents.
