US mares and sires dominate Scandinavian yearling sales

by Karsten Bonsdorf, USTA web newsroom correspondent

The sales topper at the second yearling sale of the year in Denmark, held by the Breeders Association, was a Conway Hall colt, Walt Disney, who was sold for $41,000.

Walt Disney is the second foal out of the Swedish mare Sonett Sund, she by Viking Kronos.

In Finland two fillies — both out of mares bought in foal at Harrisburg in 2010 — were the sales topper at a yearling sale.

Stone Capes Nanet (Cantab Hall–Annette Hall) was sold for $27,500, while the hammer fell at $20,000 for Stone Capes Nice (Yankee Glide-Donna Eligancia).

Annette Hall, who as a yearling was sold for $150,000, is the dam of Wing Tips 1:54.2f ($84,271) and You Want Me 2,1:57.1 ($89,109).

She was sold at Harrisburg in foal to Cantab Hall for $18,000, while Donna Eligancia was sold for $15,000 in foal to Yankee Glide.
