“Oh my God!” Would be the only words that Willie Browne was able to raise on April 15th. And for good reason.
About an hour after the opening meeting of the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale, the master of Mockershill Acclamation Colt, a pinhook of 70,000 euros, changed to Godolphin, around a Craven sales record of 1.4 million Guinen (1,946,000 US dollars, 1 Guinea = 1.39 US dollar).
The Kauf team from Godolphin purchase of Anthony Stroud and David Loder was not only in their wish to land the youthful person who completed a striking training during a child's play on April 14th.
Alex Elliott, who was in the bidder area with Amo Racing Director Kia Johane, finally fulfilled the role of Underbidder, while Jamie McCalmont also offered the seven-digit brand on the seven-digit brand in addition to the Paul Shanahan von Coolmores.
When asked whether he had expected to face such a strict opposition, Stroud said: “I definitely didn't, no. He made a very good breeze, a very good gallop.
“It only shows you the appetite to buy horses during this sale. I always thought it would be forceful, but I didn't think that this specific horse would be so forceful. We have a couple on the list and he was one of them. It only shows Godolphin's appetite for horses.”
The agent added: “He will train with Charlie Appleby. The pressure goes on him, the penniless man! There is no one who can do a better job. He is up there with the best. It is great for Willie Browne because he has done it for a long time. It is nice for him and stops everything.”
The transaction has broken the previous craven highmark with clear water with the War front Foal General Marshall The year 2014 brought 15 million Guinenen from Coolmore. The son of the war front was presented by Mockershill.
The Wellwishers practically formed a decent queue to give Browne congratulations, which brought his first Breeze-Up draft on the Doncaster market in 1978.
“I thought it was good, but I can't believe that it was something like that,” he said, after he had regained his serenity. “He is a special horse. I believed that he expanded me very well, he didn't let me down. He had never been in the stable for two days, we had 13 or 14 veterinarians. I still thought, maybe five or six hundred (a thousand). This is crazy.”
Blue pasture. He is a sibling for two winners, including his full brother Viridian, while his dam is a half sister for the scorer of the Park Express Stakes (G3) 2009 Oh god, me and the listed excellent exterminate. Another half sister, the Lingfield Oaks test administrator Colima 2012, bred the winners of the Black Winner Brimham Rocks and Chamade.
Amo Racing Lands St Mark's Basilica Colt
Joorabchian's Amo Racing was again the massive editions on the first day of the Tattersalls Craven Sale, with four novel recruits covered by the 750,000 guinea St. Marks basilica Colt from Layalena.
The boy whose family tree comes back Lope de Vega was offered by Joey Logan's Grangeclar surgery after he was equipped with 200,000 Guinenen in Book 2 last year.
“He is a horse that we improved early on,” said Alex Elliott, chief talent -scout from Amo. “Robson Aguiar (Amo Racing Pre-Trainer) actually drove him in the breeze. For a horse that they believe that he would start at seven (Furlongs), they remain a mile and maybe go a little further, he was wearing his speed very evenly, which I always like to see.
“Robson was a massive fan of the horse and he was beautifully presented by Joey Logan. The word in St. Mark's basilica seems to be good, there were some who burned well. He was an extraordinary race horse and we paid 600,000 Guineas for a stut foal in Book 2. She was bought with Al Shaqab and it works well with Karl Burke.
“There are many brisk horses here, but for me it was one that will lead his speed a little further, but he was the best guy in the two days.
The four purchases of AMO achieved a total of 1,095,000 Guinenen and made the company the second largest buyer that day. Godolphin fulfilled the upper place with two purchases that won a combined Guinenen with 2,050,000 Guinenen.
In the first session of the two-day Tattersalls Craven Sale, 64 properties for a gross of 9,454,000 Guinen (13,141,060 US dollars) were sold, which on average $ 147,719 Guinen ($ 205,329) with a median of $ 91,000 (US $ 126.490).
