Leyenda Dorada brings $50,000

LEYENDA DORADA (Gold Legend), a broodmare prospect, sold for the top price of

$50,000 to Adena Springs at the first open session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales

Company's Winter Mixed Sale on Thursday. The six-year-old mare was named

champion three-year-old filly in Puerto Rico in 2005 and was consigned by Derby

Daze Farm, agent. She was cataloged as Hip No. 548.

Leyenda Dorada won four black-type races and earned $288,890 from a record of

27-8-4-2. She is a half-sister to stakes-placed Presencia (Sudden Thunder) and

is out of the Vigors mare Itsallgreytome. Her second dam, Folk Music (Cornish

Prince), is the granddam of German stakes winner Song of Peace (Zampano), who is the

dam of Star's Song (Sternkoenig), the 2006 champion stayer in Austria.

On Thursday, 184 horses sold for $1,158,600, a 3.1 percent increase compared

to the first open session a year ago when 183 horses realized $1,124,000. The

average price rose 2.5 percent, from $6,142 to $6,297.

The final open session will take place on Friday beginning at 11 a.m. (EST).
