Viddora sold for $2.55million

Offered in absentia as part of the Newgate Consignment, Viddora was presented in foal to star European sire Lope de Vega in her first season at stud on a 25th September cover.

A proven Group I sire in both hemispheres, Lope de Vega stands at Ballylinch Stud at a fee of 100,000 euros.



Trained throughout her career by Lloyd Kennewell, Viddora was purchased for just $40,000 as a yearling at the Adelaide Magic Millions and raced for a large group of owners.

She is another I Am Invincible sprinter that just got better and better with maturity achieving her peak as a five year-old with Group I wins in the Group I MVRC Moir Stakes and WATC Winterbottom Stakes.

Retired with earnings of $2.8million, Viddora had her final two starts in the Northern Hemisphere including a fourth to Blue Point in the Group I Al Quoz in Dubai, which led to her being covered to Southern Hemisphere time in Ireland by Lope de Vega.

Viddora won the Magic Millions Snippets Sprint in 2018!

Viddora will make a great addition to the stellar collection of mares owned by Yulong, who have been active at this sale also securing Australian Oaks winner Unforgotten (Fastnet Rock) for $2.75 million and Group III winner Another Dollar (Ocean Park) for $700,000.

Yulong is based in Victoria and is home to promising young stallions Grunt and Alabama Express.
