RACING STOCK
YEARLING SALES IN SYDNEY. PROGENY OF THE BUZZARD IN DEMAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, April 28. Buyers spent £98,754 on racing stock during the autumn sales just concluded. A total of 284 yearlings brought £80,662;. 78 racehorses £11,397; 60 mares £4000; and eight stallions £2695.
On the l?st day of the sales, nine yearlings by The Buzzard brought 6670 guineas, six colts bringing 5550 guineas, and three lilies 1120 guineas. Three horses by the same sire won at Randwick on ’ Saturday and experts said that this put hundreds of guineas on to the value of The Buzzard stock offered at the sale.
When bidders refused to go beyond 1900 guineas for his nine-year-old stallion Talking, Mr Alan Cooper, the most colourful figure of the Australian turf, walked out of the auctioneer’s rostrum in disgust. He gave 19,000 guineas for Talking in 1938. Talking is the sire of the A.J.C. Derby winner Main Topic and was purchased by Mr F. V. Kelly for the Killarney Stud.
