Group 1 winner Tunnes topped Friday's BBAG Spring Sale when selling for €75,000 to LAM GmbH. Consigned by owner Holger Renz, the Guiliani half-brother to G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Torquator Tasso was sold as a stallion prospect to stand next year at Gestut Etzean. He won the 2022 Grosser Preis von Bayern, as well as a pair of German Group 3 contests. Bred by Paul Vandeberg, Tunnes was originally a €38,000 yearling out of the BBAG September Yearling Sale in 2020.
The highest priced two-year-old was Net Worth (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), who sold for €30,000 to LT Racing. The juvenile is a grandson of Canadian Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Spring In The Air (Spring At Last), a winner of the GI Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland.
At the end of trade, 22 lots had sold from 34 offered for a clearance rate of 65%. The gross was €242,500 and the average was €11,022. The median came in at €2,500.
