There’s no rest for Argentina’s sales calendar, whether virtual or live. The busy string of auctions continues this Wednesday with the 2025 Abolengo Broodmare Sale, which will be held entirely online under the direction of (Arg) Sales, with early bidding already underway and closing scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. local time.

A total of 33 broodmares will be offered by the renowned nursery responsible for producing countless champions—including Intense for Me (Fortify), hero of the most recent G1 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini. The catalog features daughters of Equal Stripes (Candy Stripes), Treasure Beach (Galileo), Asiatic Boy (Not for Sale), Exchange Rate(Danzig), Lizard Island (Danehill Dancer), Sunray Spirit (Hennessy), Long Island Sound (War Front), John F Kennedy (Galileo), and Daniel Boone (Wild Event), all in foal to the likes of Daddy Long Legs (Scat Daddy), Pneumatic (Uncle Mo), Treasure Beach, Verifying (Justify), and Cosmic Trigger (Lizard Island).

Breeding Candy Ride (Ride the Rails) remains a badge of honor for Haras Abolengo, and a key reason for its international acclaim. Fittingly, the sale will open with a mare from that very family: Candella Star (Equal Stripes), who will be offered in foal to Daddy Long Legs, sire of the last two winners of the G1 Gran Premio Nacional.

Among the standouts in the catalog is Earthrise (Treasure Beach), a three-time winner at San Isidro who is in foal to Cosmic Trigger. She is a half-sister to G1 winner Earth God (Cosmic Trigger) and stakes winner Earth and Fire(Cosmic Trigger).

Embalada Girl (Asiatic Boy), a member of the historic “E” family, will be offered in foal to Cosmic Trigger. She is a half-sister to stakes winners Ember Island, Es Sicario, and Emberinado (all by Lizard Island), and her dam, Emberly, is a full sister to Horse of the Year Expressive Halo.

Also in the mix is Evadila (Treasure Beach), a half-sister to G2 Evincing (Equal Stripes) and carrying to Verifying, as is Mary’s Call (Treasure Beach), half-sister to G1 winners Mariah Plus (Alpha Plus) and Mary’s Gold (Mutakddim), the latter dam of top sprinter Marshall Patrol (Violence).
