Two horses sold for 30,000 euro, the second highest knock down price of the day. This amount was paid for the 7-year old mare Dottoressa (by Dr. Jackson D) and for 4-year old mare Fantasie R (by Florianus).
Ulrich Vité's 4-year old stallion Sir Hit (by Samba Hit I x Don Primero) sold for 27,000 euro. The chestnut mare Emilie (by Furst Piccolo) sold for 25,000 euro.
