Two fillies, both sired by the French champion sire Ready Cash, topped the Osarus Trot sale Thursday evening (Aug. 24) at Vincennes, Paris, France.

Gama Bourbon, a filly out of one of the most successful French maternal lines was sold for $275,000, while the hammer fell at $235,000 for Get Up Smart.

The first crop from French trotting star Bold Eagle are yearlings, and four Bold Eagles went through the ring. One was sold for $100,000, another for $47,000, while the others were bought back by their breeders.

A total of 103 yearlings were offered for sale, but only 53 were sold for an average of $29,600.
