Shamexpress
(O'Reilly x Volkrose by Volksraad)
19 Premier, 18 Select, 1 Festival
2014 Stud Fee: $16,000+GST
With 19 yearlings catalogued at the Premier Yearling Sale, Shamexpress, has the highest representation of the first-time sellers. His offspring have already been well received at the Gold Coast sales where three yearlings by the Group One winning son of O'Reilly went through the ring. His top priced lot, a filly out of Burlesque, was knocked down for A$300,000 to former Kiwi trainer Trent Busuttin. The three Shamexpress yearlings sold averaged A$156,666.
"We identified two fillies that we thought would suit that market and we are very pleased with the outcome," Windsor Park Stud general manager Steve Till said.
"It was gratifying to see the acceptance in the market and it has set a good tone for Karaka."
Out of the Volksraad mare Volkrose, a half-sister to the Group One placed O'Reilly Rose, Shamexpress competed at the highest level in Australia's elite sprints. In addition to winning the Gr.1 VRC Newmarket Handicap, he also ran second in the Gr.1 VRC Sprint Classic and Gr.1 Lightning Stakes and finished third in the Gr.1 VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes.
Sure to be a head-turner among the Shamexpress yearlings is the white colt out of the Zabeel mare, The Opera House. Lot 449 will be among the most photographed yearlings on the Karaka complex.
