Auction helping Red Cross
Victorian Bushfire Appeal
Coolmore Australia’s stallion nomination auction has already raised A$325,000
in registered bids in three days for the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
The current highest bids on the five Coolmore Australia residents are Encosta de
Lago (A$210,000), Fastnet Rock (A$60,500), Haradasun (A$32,000), Royal Academy
(A$16,500) and Spinning World (A$6,000).
“I can’t thank people enough for their willingness to make a difference,”
said Michael Kirwan, Coolmore Australia’s general manager. “We are getting
closer and closer to the $A400,000 barrier every day and that is both an
outstanding result and only possible thanks to the generosity of breeders across
the country. People are getting right behind this cause and that means there
will be more resources the Red Cross can provide for those victims of the
Victorian bushfires.
“I’m hoping that we can keep this momentum going. It is unfair to ask for
more support when so many have been so generous but I have no doubt that as an
industry we can keep this figure growing.”
The auction will conclude on Monday. To place a bid please contact Sebastian
