Record price for broodmare
NZPA-Reuter Lexington, Kentucky Henryk de Kwiatkowski, of New York, has paid a world record SUS3.B million (SNZS.4 million) for Royal Honoree, a nine-year-old broodmare in foal to the champion stallion, Northern Dancer. The previous record of $U52,150,000 ($NZ3,030,000) for a broodmare was paid last year by the British Bloodstock Agency, England, for Ivanjica. Mr de Kwiatkowski, who owned 1982 Belmont Stakes winner, Conquistador Cielo, made his purchase at the
annual November breeding stock sale at the Keeneland racecourse. He said Royal Honoree would probably be mated with Conquistador Cielo, syndicated for a record $U536.4 million (SNZSI.3 million) earlier this year. The bidding started at $1 million. The underbidder, at $3.7 million was Sir Philip Payne-Gallwey, representing the British Bloodstock Agency. Royal Honoree was sold by Shallow Brook Farm, owned by Mr Leslie Welsh of Barrington, Illinois.
