Yearlings by Captain Crunch in demand at Auckland

The progeny of Captain Crunch was sought after by buyers at the NZB Auckland Yearling Sale at Karaka yesterday afternoon.

The young stallion achieved a 100% clearance rate with his yearlings selling for an average of $60,000 and a top price of $100,000 for a half-brother to the unbeaten champion filly Millwood Nike.

The stunning colt, out of the Bettorʻs Delight mare Albuquerque, was consigned by Alabar NZ and purchased by Peter Lagan Standardbreds.

A half-brother to last seasonʻs stakes performed juvenile Always B You, from the draft of Highfields Bloodstock, also made good money selling for $70,000.

Captain Crunch finished the sale as the third leading sire overall by average, behind only his own sire Captaintreacherous and Bettorʻs Delight.
