National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag breaks all records The excitement on Tuesday 16 September could be felt in the whole of Ermelo: in a fantastic show, auctioneer Hans Sinnige presented 62 foals with an average price of 10,306.45 euro. Not only is this average a record in the history of Dutch foal auctions but also there has never been such a high price bid for the top foal of an auction. The exceptional mover, Wandurel (Ronaldo x Weltmeyer x Rubinstein I x Almeo) of breeder J. Schel of Linden went for as much as 44,000 euro to Dirk Kat of PrimeVal BV in Noord Holland. But those present in the full-to-bursting tribunes, standing enclosures and VIP boxes enjoyed many more fabulous moments at the foal auction: the Chellano Z x Quidam de Revel, the Chin Chin x I Love You, the Quidam de Revel x Corrado I and the De Niro x Rubinstein I, respectively, fetched 33,000; 29,000; 25,000 and 24,000 euro. The auction began marvelously with the sale of Maxima who, after a performance by the stallion Magic Ronaldo with Edward Gal, came into the ring wearing nothing but an orange ribbon round her neck; this dwarf goat finally went, together with a VIP arrangement for the World Cup at Jumping Amsterdam, to G. Deen Holding BV for 1,150 euro. The second foal in the auction, the Don Primero x Flemmingh, went for 18,500 euro to Scotland and, in so doing, set the tone for the afternoon. The eleventh edition of the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag took place, for the second time running, at the KNHS centre in Ermelo. The selection committee's motto ''the power of performance" appears to have caught on amongst the devotees of good foals; more than ever were selections made on 'performance' blood and on pedigrees that have brought forth many good sport horses. This resulted in a catalogue with extremely interesting foals. Moreover, by way of the presentation DVD, much information was made available about the material on offer. There was also a lot of interest from abroad; a number of interested parties, after receiving the catalogue, even made the trip to Ermelo; a number of others bid by telephone and via the internet. In total, nine foals will go abroad, amongst of which two will go to the USA.
