$1.2million for Mare in Foal to Wootton Bassett

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 30

The Element Hill Dispersal has already had a big payday from Wootton Bassett (GB) when they sold the yearling half-sister by him to Golden Sixty for $1million on Tuesday at the Magic Millions National Sale and they had another big result when selling well related broodmare Single Blonde in foal to him for $1.2million on Thursday.

Single Blonde sold for $1.2million in foal to Wootton Bassett (GB).

A stakes-placed mare by Not a Single Doubt that was bred and retained to race by the Hutchins family of Element Hill, Single Blonde was bought by Tom Magnier.

She is a half-sister to Group III winners Boognish and Colour from stakes-winner Regrowth, whose stakes-winning dam True Blonde is from influential producer Easy Date, whose descendants include Golden Slipper winner Forensics and Group I winners such as Snippets, Oohood and Kings Legacy, not to mention her sire Not a Single Doubt.

Single Blonde has already made her mark at this sale with her second foal, a filly by I Am Invincible, topping the weanling sale for Element Hill when fetching $800,000 to the bid of Hill 'n' Dale Xalapa/William Johnson Bloodstock.

Top lot at the weanling sale was the I Am Invincible filly from Single Blonde.
