Lime Country’s sale started strongly with Lot 1 the Redoute’s Choice filly out of A Real Princess knocked down to Shadwell Stud for $550,000.
The top lot of their draft was Lot 262 a bay colt by Fastnet Rock out of the champion race mare Norzita who was purchased by Aquis Farm, Lindsay Park Racing and Andrew Williams Bloodstock for $660,000.
