Around a million gns worth of breeze-up buys in that Leicester opener and not one of them in the first four!

Who is the most successful horse ever to be bought at the breeze-ups?

I don't know the answer btw, I'm hoping someone can tell me.

Rio De La Plata was a breeze-up buy, Group 1 winner and rated 120 at his peak.

Any advances on 120?

I think a filly that may have come through this route was placed in a Classic, and sold at maybe the sales just prior to Royal Ascot. I would have liked to have had a leg of her. Did she top a million? Irish trainer, can anyone help further.

Native Trail was a breeze up dont know his OR but probably doubt hes topped 120.

the 120 didn't last long, NT a peak OR of 122, Geoff

That would, presumably, be the recently introduced - Goffs London Sale - on the eve of Royal Ascot. - although, of coyurse that Sale is not a Breeze-Up

I have been through the Returns for that Sale, since 2018 -and cannot finf a Qualifier - nor a Million Pound purchase, either.

Couple of Mares (already covered) made decent money .... Where you thinking of one of them?

I didn't know this, but looking at recent 1000gns results, Lady Kaya, Jay?

Trained by Sheila Lavery, was second in 2019 to Hermosa

Apologies, not Lady Kaya, who sadly died on the gallops

I think Jay is thinking of Jet Setting, who was sold for 1.3 million at the pre-Ascot sale

The 1000 Gns winner Cachet was sold for 60,000 gns at a Tattersalls Breeze-Up. The Prix de L'Abbaye wnner Platinum Queen was a 57,000 gns breeze up purchase.

And Trueshan ccost just 31,000 gns at a breeze-up sale.

So there's three Group 1 winners

Spot on George Jet Setting it was. Bought cheaply as a foal. Not your breeze up sales. Oops sorry George B, think I am suffering sunstroke after a roasting hot Curragh weekend, and only shelter was the Champagne Bar !!!!!!
