Jolie Comtesse (Fr) (Evasive) (lot 6), a half-sister to this year's G1 Goodwood Cup winner Trueshan (Fr) in foal to his sire Planteur (Ire), proved the top draw at the inaugural Thoroughbid online auction on Sunday. Offered by Dunraven Stud, the 8-year-old-who last year produced her first foal, a filly by Moss Vale (Ire)-was purchased by AK Stud for £60,000.
Jolie Comtesse was one of seven sold from 23 offered. The next highest price was £21,000 paid by Richard Burton for lot 7, JD Moore's Kilbarchan (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}), a 5-year-old mare carrying her second foal by Blue Bresil (Fr). Kilbarchan was a three time winner and has a colt foal by Sea Moon on the ground.
