Point-to-pointer Roadlesstravelled (Ire) (Lauro {Ger}) (lot 513) brought a session-topping £215,000 from Stroud Coleman Bloodstock and Jonjo O'Neill during the first day of the Goffs UK Spring HIT/PTP Sale at Doncaster.
Consigned by Monbeg Stables, the 4-year-old gelding was one of 15 horses to breach the six-figure mark on the day, beating the previous record of 13. A supplement to the sale after winning a point-to-point second out at Taylorstown in May, he is from the family of Grade 1 winner Abbyssial (Ire) (Beneficial {GB}).
Also a supplementary lot, Saunton Surf (Ire) (Sea Moon {Ger}) (lot 512A) was next at £175,000. Highflyer Bloodstock and Warren Greatrex purchased the two-for-two filly from the Millstone Stables consignment. Her price was a record for a British point-to-point filly sold at public auction.
At the close of Wednesday's trade, 196 horses of 234 offered (84%) had grossed £6,053,750. The average was £30,886 (-2%) and the median settled at £20,000 (-9%).
The sale continues on Thursday and will feature a partial dispersal from Dai Walters beginning at 10 a.m.
