Owner Rod Woodhouse was pleased with the sale, with the almost six-figure amount for a broodmare believed to be a sales record.
"I'm happy and I'm sad but I'm ready to move on," Woodhouse said.
"There is still seven weanlings to be sold and about 20 mares but I don't mind if I keep a few of them to give me something to look at."
The sale of the property is yet to be finalised but is expected in the next few days.
Treasure Me's Downbythseaside weanling colt also sold for $52,000.
