Dormant Mares Week 3 – Big Change in Demand
After over seventy dormant mares were snatched up at the 2000 and 1750 credit price levels week three saw demand crater. Only fourteen mares were bid on at the 1500 credit price with just two of those receiving more than one bid.
The bidders were somewhat schizophrenic this week. Five of the fourteen were graded winners (one was an End of Year Award winner). Half have produced five or more foals with the top mare having a dozen. Three were maiden mares. Three of the mares have produced a grade one winning foal and eight have produced at least one stakes winner.
For sires represented both Montjeu and Street Cry had two mares on the list. Previous weekly sire leaders A.P. Indy and Giant’s Causeway were absent completely this week. Kingmambo and Unbridled’s Song who were prominent in prior weeks did each sire one mare in demand this week. Dehere and Medicean, two sires that aren’t among the top damsires on anyone’s lips each sired a mare on the list. Both of those mares were grade one winners.
Here are the mares taken this week.
