“It’s a rare opportunity to acquire mares of this caliber,” said sale manager David Reid, “yet alone four that are carrying ready-made select sale yearlings.”

The young mares in foal to Walner include Jula Emmylou Me, a Muscle Hill half-sister to World Champion, Breeders Crown Champion and O’Brien Award winner Emoticon Hanover 4,1:50 2/5f ($1,778,033), and Pat’s Inspiration 3,1:58 1/5h, a “three-in-one” package who sells with her Walner colt at her side.

The mares in foal to Muscle Hill, both carrying first foals, are the speedy Watayankee 4,1:52 1/5 and Fashion Princess 3,1:56 3/5, who hails from the family of millionaires Back Of The Neck and Broadway Donna.

Reid said the value of these mares could stand alone on their individual pedigrees and conformation, but added “Keep in mind that Walner yearlings averaged $121,710 and Muscle Hill yearlings $117,076 last fall.”

Reid encouraged potential bidders to visit the Preferred Equine Online website and set up an account prior to Monday’s sale if they haven’t yet registered.
