Multiple grade 1 winner Adare Manor brought fireworks to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale ring as she was purchased for $2.8 million by Northern Farm’s Katsumi Yoshida Nov. 4. Consigned as Hip 214 by Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa, the 5-year-old Uncle Mo mare is bound for Japan.
“She looked gorgeous. I thought she was one of the best fillies on the market this time,” said Yoshida’s agent Shingo Hashimoto. “We’re very excited.” Hashimoto said they have yet to make a decision on whether they will breed Adare Manor to an American stallion before shipping her to her new home. “We’ll see how it goes after we buy everything,” Hashimoto said.
