Description
A Stakes producing ‘Tax Mare’, PORT AUGUSTA is offered in-foal to the very exciting five-time Group One winner ST MARK’S BASILICA who has been making headlines globally with his first crop foals and yearlings.
Standing at $38,500 in 2024, ST MARK’S BASILICA’s first crop weanlings have sold to A$200,000 in Australia this year, and at A$1,150,000, he also sired the highest-priced foal in Europe and North America in 2023. At the recent JHRA Select Sale in Japan, the only first crop yearling by ST MARK’S BASILICA sold for the equivalent of A$645,000.
PORT AUGUSTA is by Champion Sire and Champion Broodmare ENCOSTA DE LAGO, and she hails from one of the best families in the Stud Book.
A lovely mare in all respects, she has a terrific record at stud – her yearlings have sold to $1,000,000 and averaged over $491,000, with her three foals to race all winners.
