New sales record for IVA

A new German yearling sales record was established this week at Baden-Baden. Lot no.173 was expected to be one of the top lots at the BBAG sale, and the atmosphere when the colt bred by Gestüt Brümmerhof entered the ring was electric. There were bids from all over and they soon shot up to stratospheric levels; it was quickly clear that the yearling would fetch a record price.
The bidding ended in a duel between Russian investors and the IVA of Rüdiger Alles. When auctioneer Daniel Delius finally brought down the hammer, it was for a new German record of 710,000 euros. The colt, named North Star, was knocked down to Rüdiger Alles, bidding on behalf of Georg Baron von Ullmann.
