In This Moment, Full Brother to G1 Winner Imagen de Roma / (ARG) SALES

In an interview with Turf Diario, Pablo Zavaleta, owner of Haras Vacación along with his wife Damasia, stated: “The group of yearlings featured in our Gran Venta Selecta is, without a doubt, the most even we have ever assembled over the years.”

For a farm renowned for producing champions, this is no small statement. Now comes the moment of truth, as the market and buyers will have their say this afternoon when the sale kicks off at 3:00 PM at the Tattersall of the Hipódromo de San Isidro. The auction, organized by (Arg) Sales, will take place in person, with online bidding also available.

With no racing on the schedule—after the cancellation of today’s meeting at Hipódromo de La Plata—this sale becomes an unmissable event (also available for online viewing), featuring 57 colts and fillies by established sires such as Fortify(Distorted Humor), Hi Happy (Pure Prize), Cityscape (Selkirk), Treasure Beach (Galileo), Full Mast (Mizzen Mast), Le Blues (Roman Ruler), and Remote (Dansili). It will also showcase the first of only two crops left in Argentina by the late Uncle Chuck (Uncle Mo).
