Cran and Chrissie Dalgety have headed home to Kentuckiana Lodge delighted with the three yearlings they purchased on day one of the NZB Standardbred National Yearling Sales at Karaka.
Kentuckiana Lodge will be the new home to three outstanding types in:
Lot 8 – a Sweet Lou Colt from Bettor’s Delight mare Pacing Delight - $50,000
Lot 50 – a Sweet Lou Filly from Bettor’s Delight mare Bettor Romance - $30,000
Lot 116 – a Bettor’s Delight filly from Christian Cullen mare Lauraella - $120,000
Some shares are available in these outstanding types.
Hear what Cran had to say about each of his purchases:
Lot 8 – a Sweet Lou Colt from Bettor’s Delight mare Pacing Delight
“He is from a speed breed, the family of Pacing Delight is red-hot at the moment.”
“Physically he wasn’t big, he wasn’t small, he is just where you would want him to be to get him rocking and rolling early.”
“He is a full brother to Aladdin, we have had a few battles against him with Krug and he is a very smart horse.”
“He won the Harness Million and if you look at his run in the Sires Stakes Final it was phenomenal three-wide and parked.”
“All in all I am rapt to be taking this colt home and as I say, he looks like an early two-year-old project.”

Lot 50 – a Sweet Lou Filly from Bettor’s Delight mare Bettor Romance
“She is a full sister to The Gigolo who did a great job for us and he has been going great In America.”
“But this filly is a much more racey type.”
“She looks she will be up and going early, which bodes well because obviously we already know the family and the ability they have.”
“I thought she was really good value at her price tag.”
“Bettor Romance is a half-sister to Jessies Cullen and her yearling sold for $200,000 later in the day.”
“That shows us we are in the right family.”

Lot 116 – a Bettor’s Delight filly from Christian Cullen mare Lauraella
“She is an absolutely outstanding filly, and I couldn’t be happier to be taking her home.”
“She is built to be a racehorse and almost has a thoroughbred look about her.”
“She is very correct, she is flawless, just an outstanding animal.”
“Her pedigree is impeccable, she is from the Black Watch family and they are the ones people come to the sales every year to buy.”
“She was one that I had the ring around and before the sale and to be honest I thought I would have had to dig deeper to get her.”
“We can say it is mission accomplished as we fly back to Christchurch.”
