Mayfair Buys Dam of Harzand For 2 Million Guineas at Tattersalls December Sale

The second day of the Tattersalls December Mare Sale was, as ever, a truly international affair with buyers from four continents represented by the top ten lots. The headline act of the day was HAZARIYA, the dam of HARZAND, topping proceedings at 2 million guineas. A total of 186 lots sold for 25,512,500 guineas with an average of 137,164 guineas and median of 60,000 guineas.

The star of the show on Tuesday of the Tattersalls December Mare Sale was the dam of this year’s dual Derby winner HARZAND. A packed sales ring turned out to see HAZARIYA, in foal to INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, knocked down to MV Magnier, standing with Michael Jooste of South African-based Mayfair Speculators, for 2 million guineas.

The Newsells Park Stud offering was herself a good race filly winning the Group 3 Athasi Stakes at The Curragh before retiring to stud where she has produced five winners including Listed Finale Stakes winner HAZARAFA, Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes winner HARASIYA and of course Group 1 Epsom and Irish Derby winner Harzand.

Magnier commented:

"She is a lovely mare, and any mare who breeds a Derby winner is special. Dermot Weld trains the two-year-old Haripour and he was full of praise of him to me.

"She is for my parents and Michael and Derrick - and she will go to Galileo."

Julian Dollar of Newsells Park Stud said:

"We are obviously very sad to lose her. She looked a picture today and is a credit to the team at home.

"Of course, we would have loved to have kept her, but we have two fillies out of her and it is the right decision for us."

Great !!

I see Barry Irwin sold his Mare Euro Charline for big bucks also

They have bought broodmares before and also of Aga Khan broodmares and bred them with USA sires . The one that comes to mind is Estimation whose dam is Ebaraya but Estimation was sold although being a filly and a future broodmare prospect...

Posted, this 6 years ago. Estimation is the dam of the 4th race winner yesterday at Kenilworth, Estimated.

And we now know how the funds, to make those and many other inflated purchases, were allegedly obtained...

......seems that the ultimate karma is that all that funny money turned most of his dodgy racing interests into cr@p.....:dry:

What ever happened to Brugman from Mayfair?

......still slinking around in the Cape acting like Switzerland....after all he was just another victim....:dry: .

....bit of a flop here as they sent the dam to Captain Al numerous times for less than mediocre results....but the Pathfork mare was much better but still not a world beater.....:oops:
