Gestut Ohlerweiherhof

Baden-Baden's BBAG October Sale concluded its two-day run on Saturday, and the top six lots were all consigned by the sale's leading vendor Gestut Ohlerweiherhof.

The all-conquering Mehmas (Ire), last season's record-breaking champion freshman, has two, while the other name on the list may be less familiar to those outside Germany.
