Hawera farmer Dan Myers has usurped Curraghmore as the leading vendor at New Zealand Bloodstock's Weanling, Broodmare and Mixed Bloodstock Sale at Karaka.
Myers sold all but one of his weanlings on his way to attaining an aggregate of $862,700 over the two-day sale.
The highlight for Myers was the sale of Lot 217, a Holy Roman Emperor colt, to Andrew Williams for $175,000 late in the piece on day one.
"I was very surprised and flattered," Myers said.
"I don't draft judgement on what they are worth. We simply prepare them to the best of our ability and let the market dictate what their value is."
