He only had three two year-olds to be offered at the NZB Ready To Run Sale this week, but Hellbent made a big splash with all three heading to Hong Kong at an average price of $341,667 to put him third on the leading sires by average list.
His top seller on the second day was a colt from We Have Lift Off that made $450,000 for Ohukia Lodge when bought by Hong Kong based AP Chan as Lot 304.
He breezed in 10.60 seconds and is the second foal of his dam, a winning Exceed and Excel daughter of stakes-placed Houston Benefactor, a three-quarter sister in-blood to Champion NZ 3YO Filly Princess Coup.
He was a super successful pinhook, sourced from the Yarraman draft at Inglis Classic for $90,000 by Ohukia Lodge.
Hellbent is riding high as the leading third season sire in country by earnings after posting his first Group I winner last weekend in Magic Time.
