The first important sale of blood stock at Newmarket was that of the horses in training, thirteen in number, belonging to the late Sir James Miller, and they fetched very good prices, considering that all their racing engagements are voided by the owner’s death. The total realised was 7,475 gs., making an average of 575 gs. each, and three of the thirteen reached four figures. The highest price was 2,500 gs. for Roquette, a two-year-old filly by Chaleureux-Roquebrune, who went to M. Edmond Blanc’s stud in France; and another two-year-old, a colt by Sainfoin-La Sagesse, winner of the Oaks, was sold to Mr. W. Raphael for 1,650 gs.
