Great Southern Sale Another Opportunity for Sejardan Fans

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Tuesday June 10

Blue Gum Farm are prepared to be busy this week ahead of the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale (June 13) with a draft of 22 and eight of them are from the first crop of the farm’s exciting young sire Sejardan.

A brilliant juvenile by Golden Slipper winning sire Sebring, Sejardan has been generating plenty of positive vibes following weanling sales in Sydney and the Gold Coast where his weanlings did the talking.

Off a modest fee of $13,750, Sejardan achieved impressive results that have put him firmly on the radar for breeders and investors looking for that next unheralded sire to emerge as a commercial force.

In Australia, champion sires I Am Invincible and Written Tycoon have risen from humble beginnings to climb all the way to the very top of the tree, while Spirit of Boom and Better Than Ready have dominated in Queensland.

Of the younger brigade it’s hard to look past Tassort, who has covered 200 plus books of mares in his past two seasons and started off at a fee of $11,000.

Could Sejardan follow in their footsteps?

At the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale, Sejardan had six youngsters sell at an average $54,000 with top sellers being an $80,000 filly from Cinzia and a filly from Captured and colt from Sharnee Rose that both sold for $70,000.

At Magic Millions National, Sejardan did even better with four youngsters averaging $81,250 and he had his first seven figure sale with a colt from Statuette offered by Blue Gum Farm fetching $130,000 when bought by Kestrel Thoroughbreds. Blue Gum Farm also sold fillies from Miss Norway and Neighbourhood for $80,000 each and they went to great judges in Bevan Smith Bloodstock and Belmont Bloodstock.
