Purchaser Rodger Grant of Koobah Performance horses, Kingswood said his new acquisition was a spontaneous decision.
He had been chasing foundation mares to start his cutting business and said the mare would likely be used in embryo programs while still competing.
"I love her bloodline, I love the way she is bred, I love the type of horse she is," he said.
The second top price of $34,000 was reached for the yearling mare, MC Metallo, offered by Denise and Jessica Maccallum of Runnymede, Victoria, and purchased by Michael Hawke through Landmark Goulburn.
The sale was conducted by Davidson Cameron and Co.
