April First Auction Highlight of the 2003 Trakehner
Stallion Licencing
October 28, 2003
Following
the annual Trakehner stallion licensing is the auction
of approved and non-approved stallions. Highlight of
this year's auction was not Licensing Champion In Flagranti,
but the black stallion April First. Sired by Buddenbrock
out of Atara xx (by Lagunas xx), April First achieved
a top knock down price of 130,000 €. Again a Danish
breeder bought the most expensive horse, as in Verden
a Danish lady purchased the Rohdiamant x Sao Paulo for
200,000 €. April First will be granted a majestic
life because he is moving to Blue Hors Stud in Randbol,
Denmark.
Licensing
Champion In Flagranti (by Buddenbrock x Kennedy) was
sold to the Bavarian State Stud Schwaiganger for 85,000
€. The reserve licensing champion Couracius (Sixtus
x Caprimond), who was praised for his basic gaits and
beauty, sold for 60,000 € to Gestut Hörstein.
The licensed stallions Ilux (Latimer x Giorgio Armani)
and Titulus (Kasparow x Timber) were auctioned for 25,000
€ and have found a new home in Canada.
