At the annual Sweden International Yearling Sale, held Monday (Aug. 13) at the Wenngarn Castle outside Stockholm, offspring to Muscle Hill were again in high demand.

Some 16 yearlings were sold for an average price of $72,600.

Two yearlings shared the top price at $176,000 — Hefner Am, a colt by Muscle Hill and out of the Finnish mare She Loves You (she by top French sire Love You) and Habrik Am, a colt by Bold Eagle and out of top Swedish mare Tamla Celeber (she by Cantab Hall).

Both were bred by AM Bloodstock.

Four yearlings sired by Father Patrick were sold for an average of $45,760.
