Oakley Creek Snaps Up River Of Stars For 1.65m At Park Paddocks

G3 Bronte Cup Stakes heroine River Of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) was knocked down to Oakley Creek–bidding online–for 1,650,000gns later in the evening at Park Paddocks. Second in the G1 Prix de Royallieu, lot 1750 is a half-sister to stakes winner Apadanah (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}). Bred by Dr. Klaus Schulte, the relative of G2 Coventry Stakes winner and Group 1-placed Rashabar (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) was a 400,000gns purchase by Woodford Thoroughbreds at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale in 2019. She was consigned by Kimpton Down Stables.

The auctioneer tried his best to encourage his underbidder for lot 1750, RIVER OF STARS. But it was a bidder online again who won out.
