Lot 5 : colt by Pomodoro out of Garibondy, by Var
“His dam was very speedy : she won six races over 1000m, and she is by Var who is turning out to be a very special broodmare sire. A quality colt, good size on the leg with scope and looks very athletic.”
Lot 25 : filly by Pomodoro out of Marquesa Naranja by Duke Of Marmalade
“This filly is a half-sister to Alexander Goldrun, who was joint top filly on the international four-year-old classification, and champion four-year-old filly in Ireland. She had 10 wins, including 5 G1s. A great international pedigree.”
Lot 41 : colt by Pomodoro out of Possible Dream, by Captain Al

She is a sister to Contador, who was a G1 winner. From the family of former Horse Of The Year Roland’s Song, winner of 14 races including 5 G1s. A great old Koster family.”
Lot 42 : filly by Pomodoro out of a Fort Wood mare
“She looks a racehorse this one, she has got a great shape. Her dam, Princess Milo, is a half-sister to Slumdogmillionaire, who won the G1 SA Classic and the G1 Horse Chestnut. Her half-brother has been entered for a Graded race on July day.”
