All Good Things Come to An End – Last Ashleigh Thoroughbreds Mares For Sale

They say all good things come to an end and for Senga Bissett and Ivan Woodford-Smith that end is coming with the sale of their final eight Ashleigh Thoroughbreds mares to be offered on Inglis Digital May (late) with the final countdown on May 24.

“They are young mares and can get quite stressed by physically going to a sale, so I decided to offer them online and they are for unreserved sale as we will vacate the farm next week,” said Senga Bissett.

Four of the mares are in foal, two of them to King’s Legacy and one each to Captivant and Acrobat.

Among the mares is Lot 259, Tantivy, a winning Foxwedge mare, whose first foal, a colt by King’s Legacy sold for $140,000 at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale where he was bought by Hermitage Thoroughbreds and was the highest priced weanling at that sale by his sire.

From the family of Group I winner Bulla Borghese and current Group winners Kallos and Bacchanalia, Tantivy is back in foal again to dual Group I winning Redoute’s Choice son King’s Legacy, whose weanlings averaged over $80,000 at Magic Millions last week.

The four empty mares are all being sold with free nominations to stallions for the next season.

“Miss Marilyn and Crete had nice weanlings by Cosmic Force in the weanling sale and have nominations to him and Mahlia has one to Anders, whose weanlings sold for up to $130,00 at the Gold Coast last week,” said Bissett.

“Wild Grace is in foal to King’s Legacy and is offered with a free nom to Showtime as she has a two year old in the Richard Freedman stable by him that was a lovely type.”
