At the conclusion of the Wanamaker's October Sale, a total of 26 horses went through the digital ring for a gross of $397,750, which included the site's second highest priced horse sold, the online auction said in a release late Thursday.
Offered by trainer Michael Merryman on behalf of The Orebanks, the topper was Bandonarun (Uncle Lino) (hip 48), who went to Bradley Weisbord for $300,000, on behalf of Everett Dosbon.
“I am excited to buy her for the Dobson family. We have not bought many for Everett over the years, but we had some early success buying proven runners that went on to win stakes”, said Weisbord.
“We are thrilled with the sale of Bandonarun for an impressive $330,000, the second-highest priced horse we have sold,” said Wanamaker's CEO Liza Hendriks. “As we move forward, Wanamaker's is committed to pioneering the future of Thoroughbred auctions in the digital age, connecting buyers and sellers from around the country in an innovative and efficient manner.”
The next Wanamaker's mixed sale will occur on Nov. 30, with entries closing on Nov. 20 and the catalogue released on Nov. 22. The first ever Wanamaker's New Jersey-Bred Sale, held in conjunction with the Thoroughbred Breeders' of New Jersey, will take place on Nov. 16, with entries closing on Nov. 6 and the catalogue released on Nov. 8.
