Last Holstein auction of the year finished:
(Elmshorn) For the third time, the Holsteiner Verband Vermarktungs und Auktions GmbH put together a collection for the Winter Chance consisting mainly of young hopefuls, some of them not yet ridden. At 105,000 euros, catalog number 21, Incredible by Unlimited-Concerto II advanced to become the most expensive candidate.
"It has once again been shown that horses from sport-tested dams pay well," said a delighted Managing Director and Auction Manager Roland Metz. Because the dam of this bay mare is none other than the winner of the 2009 German Jumping Derby with Thomas Kleis in Hamburg, Carassina (breeding name Marassina). Born in 2019, the Incredible is also the half-sister of the licensed United Way by Uriko. Her dam Carassina in turn descends from the legendary Wodka II by Lord-Ramiro (Otto-Boje Schoof, Hedwigenkoog), who has for example Chika's Way by Cartani and the 1.60 meter jumpers as well as licensed Uricas by Kattevennen by Uriko or Clearway by Capitol I in direct relationship. Incredible will be at home in Hungary in the future. 48,750 Euros was what the Vigo d'Arsouilles-Cassini II son Vampire (catalog number 100) was worth to his new owners from Switzerland. After receiving a positive approval at this weekend's licensing for late-born stallions, he subsequently changed owners via the Winter Chance. This black stallion, born in Belgium, also comes from a Holstein mare family that has enjoyed sporting and breeding success for decades, for example with the licensed stallions Casanova v. Cadillac or Ligorett by Lord. With a bid of 30,250 euros, the virtual hammer fell on La Dollar by Million Dollar-Carthago with catalog number 15, she will also move to Switzerland. The average price of this online auction was around 17,900 euros.
