Another Stonewall Stud spending spree

The NZB weanling sales have just wrapped up at Karaka in Auckland and again it was Stonewall Stud to the fore.
More than 100 weanlings were up for sale with Stonewall's Steve Stockman spending big money as he did at the Yearling Sales earlier in the year.
Stonewall bought eight lots, totalling $271,000 including the top lot, a Captain Crunch - Princess Arts filly for $55,000 (pictured above).
They also bought another Captain Crunch colt for $46,000.
Also busy at the sales were the Australians, especially Tumby Park from New South Wales, who bought six weanlings at a cost of around $150,000.
