Riversley Park Swoop on $150,000 Per Incanto

Media Release - Friday June 16

Riversley Park’s Sam Beatson was active at Friday’s New Zealand Bloodstock National Weanling and Broodmare Sale with three purchases, including a sale-topping weanling colt by Per Incanto.

Beatson extended to $150,000 to secure the Brighthill Farm presented colt, who is out of a Redoute’s Choice mare that stems from the Dowager Duchess of Bedford’s famed Mrs Moss family which features the late stallion Tavistock.

“He is a lovely physical colt, a good moving colt. He just had a lot of quality about him and he had a good attitude every time I looked at him,” Beatson said.

“He came out paraded and did his job and I loved him.”

The youngster is by Little Avondale Stud stallion Per Incanto, sire of seven individual Group One winners and perennially among the leading sires in Hong Kong.

“Per Incanto flies up in Hong Kong and plus the Australian market, he's leaving Group One winners over there – two-year-old Group One winners – so he's a very saleable horse anywhere around the world,” Beatson said.

The noted breeze-up vendor has also transitioned into selling yearlings, and said he would ponder where to re-offer the colt. 

“Currently I haven't decided (where I present him next) but he’s a big strong boy so he would make a yearling. Obviously I do a lot of two-year-olds for the breeze up sale so that's another option. I will take him home and just see how things unfold,” Beatson said.

Beatson also purchased a colt by Proisir out of the Savabeel mare Desert Star for $60,000 plus a colt from the first crop of King Of Comedy for $20,000.

“The Proisir was a lovely colt. He's a late November foal so you know there's a lot of improvement in him, a great pedigree and obviously the stallion can't do any wrong at the moment,” Beatson said. – NZ Racing Desk
