Game Serena was knocked down to Bell View Park Stud in New South Wales, for $86,000. She is the winner of seven races and was also stakes placed in the Group 3 MVRC Inglis Mile.   Game Serena has a date with Domesday this spring.

The first day of trade had 107 horses sell, grossing $847,800, with an 82% clearance. 

Two mares offered by Shadwell Park shared the second highest price of the session, being knocked down for $60,000.
