The Queen's Stamp, an 8-year-old stakes-placed daughter of Prized, was sold for $63,000 to top the Nov. 27 Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society’s winter mixed sale.

Purchased by Cantium Bloodstock from the consignment of agent Richard Moylan, the mare was sold in foal to Canadian champion Sky Conqueror. The Queen’s Stamp, third in the 2005 Carotene Stakes, had five wins, four seconds, and eight thirds while earning $297,733.

During the one-day sale held at the Woodbine Sales Pavilion at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, 124 horses were sold for a gross of $506,700, down from the $590,100 total paid for 110 horses at the same sale a year ago. The $4,086 average represented a decline of 23.8% from the $5,364 average in 2009.

The sale consisted of broodmares, stallions/stallion prospects, weanlings, and yearlings.

Topping the yearling category was a Successful Appeal   colt purchased by Arravale Racing for $39,000 from the Huntington Stud Farm consignment. The second foal of the unraced Belong to Me   mare Paper Angel, the colt is from the female family of grade III winner Keys to the Heart, Bassinet Stakes winner and grade I-placed Avie’s Shadow, and stakes winner Nastassja.
