Heads up guys! Vaucluse Farms is having a minor clearance sale! Here is the link… finalfurlong.org/auctionsumm … uction=198
I’m making some room in my stable so I’m saying goodbye to all 10 of my 4yo+ males. All the girls will be retired at the end of this year to have their first breeding season next year. I’ve got 35 yearlings so a heap of new runners to make room for next year!
Anyway, just letting you know all the reserves as below. Basically the two 5yos are on for $25k. The other boys are $50k for MSW, $25k for SW and then $10k for SP.
If any don’t sell, please PM me.
The Auction will start on the 19th of June.
Good luck all interested!

The auction has begun today all. There are some lovely horses in the auction. I don’t have time to get them back on track, but they definitely have a lot of potential and 8/10 of them are only halfway through their 4-Y-O year so still a lot of time left in their legs!
Good luck to all the bidders and they will be sold (regardless, I basically am trimming…) so if no reserves are met, please do let me know if you’re interested and we can go from there.
Just a reminder on reserves…
Geneva Convention has a reserve of $25k. No bids on him yet. 4-Y-O stakes winner who has placed this year and also won just shy of $20k. He’ll win back the $25k with some good handling.
Goforbust has a reserve of $25k. No bids on him yet. 5-Y-O stakes winner who has also placed this year. Has won $15k this year. He should win that back too with some thought put into him. He’s GCh. too so very consistent.
Iblis has a reserve of $50k. He has a bid of $10k on him at the moment. He’s a 4-Y-O MSW. He’s showed four times at Gr.1 level and also set a speed record. Hasn’t done well this year simply because I haven’t been able to devote time to him - I’ve been prioritising my females and 3yos. Lots of potential.
Maybach has a reserve of $50k. He has a $25k bid on him at the moment. He’s a 4-yo MSW including a Gr.1 stakes as a 2yo. He has won a race this year and set a speed record in the process. He’s won just shy of $50k this year. I could probably turn him around but I have to make some room so a bit of a reluctant sale - should definitely win back the $50k reserve with some decent management.
So Assertive has a reserve of $25k. He’s got a $10k big against him at the moment. He’s a 5yo MSW millionaire who won a Gr.1 as a 3yo. I’d say he has a bit left in him - he’s placed this year and won over $25k so with some attention, he should be consistent at an allowance level.
