Sales Activity at Triumph Stables
Monday, May 5, 2003
Triumph Stables has seen a flourish of activity since the beginning of the
new year. In the sales department, Jeff Bessey is the new owner of MSV Ringo
Starr (Liberation First Star x LCS Mona Lisa), an outstanding 2002 chestnut
gelding bred and formerly owned by Van Meter Morgans.
Also bred and sold by Van Meter Morgans was MSV McCartney (Stonecroft
Masquerade x LCS Mona Lisa) to Blair Settle of Decatur, MI. This 2002
gelding is a three-quarter brother to World Champions Stonecroft Byzantine
and Stonecroft Edwardian.
Another big Van Meter sale was the spectacular three year old stallion,
Cartier (Cedar CreekHarlequin x Schiaparelli). This big bay youngster will
be under the direction of new trainer and agent for the buyer, Anne Benson
of Kornhugel Farm. The lucky new owner is Gay O. Gove of Topsfield, MA.
After all those sales, Margaret Van Meter could not resist purchasing the
lovely World Champion Tara's Sienna from the Ost Family of Carmel, IN.
Sienna is booked to Aljak's Double Whammy for 2003, in hopes of producing
yet another nice Sweepstakes foal by this grand sire. John & Belle Hufferd
represented both parties in this sale.
With one horse gone, the Ost Family found THB Heaven's Masterpiece (Futurity
French Command x Brentwood Alica), was the perfect replacement for daughter
Alex. This elegant gelding was purchased from breeders Ted and Debbie Baker
of Coatesville, IN. Agent for the Bakers were Jim and Fay Lowry of Lowry
Stables, Seymour, IL. John and Belle Hufferd represented the Osts in this
purchase.
B-L Jubilee Flaire (Noble Flaire x B-L Superfection) has found a new amateur
pleasure driving partner with Myllis Csee of Grass Valley, CA. Dan Ramsour
of Baccarat Farms represented Ms. Csee, and the Hufferds represented the
Ellen & Michael McCook, former owners of this Grand National Champion.
Sarava, a snappy 2002 chestnut gelding sired by Aljak's Double Whammy and
out of Rose Valley Reflection, has found an admiring new owner in Linda
Swink of Maple Park, IL, who purchased him from breeders John & Belle
Hufferd.
John and Belle were also the breeders and sellers of La Belle of the Ball
(Aljak's Double Whammy x Rose Valley Riana), a fancy two year old filly
purchased by Larry and Sue Hanson of Ossian, IN.
The elegant black 2002 filly, Tanzania (Stonecroft Byzantine x
Penncrest Prophecy), was purchased from John and Belle Hufferd by Richard
and Jean Withers of Constantine, MI.
Eastbound is Raintree Resurrection (FCF Val d'Isere x FCF Dearest Illusion),
a handsome bay three year old gelding, recently purchased by Julie Costello
of Wilbraham, MA. Cindy Mugnier of Fox Meadow Farm represented Ms. Costello,
who purchased "Mac" as a future mount for her 13 yr old son, John. John &
Belle Hufferd represented Raintree in this sale.
