Lot 15 – Vercingetorix x Garden Tea Party
Reigning Champion Sire × Proven High-CSI Nick × Elite Black-Type Family

- Family residual strength: Multiple Gr.1 winners in close family including Equus Champion Lady In Black, Talahatchie (Gr.1), Nexus (Gr.2) etc. Western Winter influence adds toughness and broodmare value.
- Nick/Pattern (Goldmine): This pedigree pattern has produced numerous graded stakes winners with high CSI scores (up to 22). Standouts include Summer Pudding (4 Gr.1, 3 Gr.2) and Pomp And Power (Gr.1 by Vercingetorix). Strong statistical support for the cross elements.
