The 36th Auction took place on August 14th, 2005. Sold through the Pride of Poland Sale were 22 mares and 2 stallions. The highest price was achieved by the pretty and subtle, though bearing a good racing career (coefficient of success: 2.02), milky-white mare Elandra 1995 (Monogramm – Erlanda/Eukaliptus), bred by Michałów Stud – 290 thousand euro, sold to the US (LLC Piaff Partnership). That was also the destination of another representative of Janów’s A-named equines, with dryness and beauty characteristic for this damline – Amba, grey 2001 (Eukaliptus – Albigowa/Fawor), 85 thousand euro. There were also new buyers – from Martinique and Azerbaijan (countries regaining their independence after the collapse of the USSR began rebuilding their own breeding livestock). And so the client from Martinique bought two mares, Girlanda, grey 1992 (Eukaliptus – Giza/Pepton), bred by Michałów Stud and owned by Leszek Jarmuż, for 10,000 euro and Enisia, grey 1995 (Sinus – Erytrea/Andrut), bred by Jacek Żurowski, for 32 thousand euro. Whereas the buyer from Azerbaijan appeared to focus on racing, since he bought the favourite for the Oaks and daughter of an Oaks winner – the mare Gryzetka, bay 1993 (Wojsław – Garonna/Fanatyk), bred by Michałów Stud, coefficient of success 2.9, for the price of 16 thousand euro (however she was not collected after the sale) and two Derby winners: the stallion Gafal, chestnut 1998 (Pamir – Gratka/Arbil), bred by Jan Głowacki, coefficient of success 11.22 and Ostragon, grey 1994 (Pers – Osełka/Palas), bred by Białka Stud, coefficient of success 10.88, gifted with outstanding movement, as well as willingness to work with man. The overall outcome of the Pride of Poland Sale resulted in 953 thousand euro.
The LLC Piaff Partnership (USA) also leased the new-elected Polish National Champion Stallion – Piaff.
