Australian buyers active at Cambridge sale
PA Cambridge A brother to the Winstone Great Northern Guineas winner, Avon’s Lord, fetched $60,000, the highest price on the first
day of the three-day 1988 Cambridge Thoroughbred Yearling Sale at Denby Lodge, Cambridge, yesterday. The colt, offered by Denby Lodge Stud, is by the top sire Avon Valley from a Silver Dream mare, Miss Marua. He was bought by Sydney
trainer H. H. Riley, who has had success with the stock of Avon Valley. Prices generally were
highly satisfactory for youngsters of good blood-
lines and conformation, but a disappointing aspect was the large number of passings, two of these at $40,000.
Australian buyers were fairly active and M. D. Landen, of Waverley Park Stud, Queensland, paid $50,000 for a colt by McGinty from an Irishbred mare Olympic Gold, by Record Run. Another McGinty filly, from Jackie Mellay, sold for $30,000.
The aggregate for the sale was $538,750 and the average was $6413.
