$2.1 Million for King’s Rose Colt in Japan

Winner of the Group I New Zealand One Thousand Guineas and Group I placed in Australia on several occasions, King's Rose is one of a number of high profile Australasian mares that have been bought by the Japanese in recent years.

Consigned for sale by Northern Farm, the striking brown colt with four white feet is by Champion Japanese Sire Deep Impact, a son of legendary sire Sunday Silence.

Offered as Lot 19, he was knocked down to Hajime Satomi for 195,000,000 yen, a sum that equates to around $A2.1 million.

A full brother to King's Rose fetched $300,000 at the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale when consigned for sale by Broadwater Thoroughbreds and bought by Peter Moody, who trained King's Rose in the latter part of her career in Australia.

Her dam Nureyev's Girl has a weanling filly by Exceed and Excel and will foal again to the same sire this spring.

The sale continues.
