We had an exciting moment when our mare Chilli Chines’ yearling sold as the Sale topper in Alberta. This makes only the 2nd time we’ve done this, once with Mascarettas yearling in BC, many years ago. That was a big celebratory moment for our little thoroughbred breeding operation! Thanks to everyone that made this possible.
