The winning Brosay (GB) (Tasleet {GB}) (lot 87) topped the Tattersalls Online May Sale when selling for 60,000gns to Gary Gillies on Thursday.
The 2-year-old colt already has a win from three runs, and his dam is a half-sister to the G3 Curragh S. third Blood Moon (GB) (Equiano {Fr}). He was consigned by Diego Dias Racing as the property of Star Bloodstock.
“We're not entirely sure what the immediate plan will be but Royal Ascot is definitely on the agenda. He could run under the ownership of my syndicate racingclub.com but that is to be decided,” said Gillies.
Night Of Thunder (Ire)'s winning 3-year-old filly Completed (GB) (lot 16) was second at the close of trade, selling for 47,000gns to Gordian Troeller Bloodstock, also on behalf of Gillies. From the draft of Baroda Stud, the bay is from the family of Group 3 Prix de Lieurey winner Zibelina (Ire) (Dansili {GB}).
Manor Farm Bloodstock paid 45,000gns for lot 4, the unraced Frankel (GB) 3-year-old filly Violet Wings (Ire). The Baroda Stud-consigned filly's dam is the stakes winner and multiple Group 3-placed Monroe Bay (Ire) (Makfi {GB}).
The fourth and final lot to break the 40,000gns mark was Cedar Creek (GB) (Frankel {GB}) (lot 14), who changed hands for 41,000gns to Fforest Star Racing, Ltd. Consigned by Andrew Balding's Kingsclere Training Stables, the 3-year-old colt is unraced, but his second dam is the European champion Shiva (Jpn) (Hector Protector).
Overall, 55 horses sold from 76 offered (72%) for a gross of 527,650gns. The average was 9,594gns, and the median was 5,500gns.
