THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS

From Everyone at Paramount Sales

 

Pat Costello and everyone in the office at Paramount Sales would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who both sold and bought horses from our consignments this year.  Overall it was a very successful year. 

 

Paramount topped both the Fasig-Tipton July Sale as well as the Fasig-Tipton October venue.  We look forward to continuing with these types of successes in 2004. 

 

We hope everyone has continued successes in 2004 as well in everything you do.  We wish everyone health, happiness and all the best throughout the rest of 2003 and into the New Year.  Happy Holidays!

 

NOVEMBER SALE RESULTS

 

The Keeneland November Sales continued to prove steady for Paramount.  The consignment was topped by POLAIRE (IRE) by Polish Patriot (Hip 420).  POLAIRE is a Grade 2 stake winner and multiple Grade 1 stake placed mare in foal to SEEKING THE GOLD.  She brought a final bid of $650,000 and was purchased by London Thoroughbred Services.

 

Paramount's high selling weanling was Hip 613 - a grey son of GIANT'S CAUSEWAY out of FOUNTAIN LAKE by Vigors.  The half brother to FREEHOUSE was the co-highest priced GIANT'S CAUSEWAY offered in November.  The colt was sold to B.B.A. Ireland and was sold for $300,000.
