From Blood-Horse yesterday:

Quote:
But this time around, according to the consignors of Azeri and Island Fashion, Paulson and Nielsen are serious about letting them go.

“I am very confident that Azeri is going to be sold,” said John Sikura, whose Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency will offer the 11-year-old mare. “Now, if there is some great aberration in the market that we haven’t seen before, then every owner has a right to protect his interest. But the intent is to sell and we’ve said that to any prospective buyer and publicly to any media source. If there is a reserve, it will be very reasonable.”

Paulson told The Blood-Horse late last year that selling Azeri was “part of the restructuring and wrapping up of my father’s trust.”
Who was the high bidder?

If it were me, I'd be furious.
