The organizers of the Equbreeding Auction can look back at an incredible edition, as the colt Das Machine EQ Z (Diamant de Semilly x Carthago Z) – the only full-brother to the stallion Emerald – was sold for no less than 360,000 Euro, a record prize for a foal. 

The previous record was held by Zangersheide Quality Auction, that in September 2021 sold Especial For Fun Z (Eldorado vd Zeshoek x For Pleasure) – a son of Luciana Diniz's Fit For Fun – for 160,000 Euro. In 2019, Zangersheide Quality Auction sold the brother to Darry Lou – Troy Z (Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve x Nabab de Reve) – for 127,000 Euro.
