Richard Knight has launched Wesellbloodstock.com, a sales platform for high-end horses in training and broodmares. Wesellbloodstock.com describes itself as not an auction site, but as a mediator for vendors and potential purchasers. There is no commission charged to purchasers; vendors pay a 5% commission, with 10% within that commission going to Retraining of Racehorses.
Horses offered on Wesellracehorses.com must pass a preliminary vet report (x-ray and scope and, for broodmares, a vet report including pregnancy diagnosis). Professional photos and videos will also be provided of each offering.
The first horse offered through the platform is the 5-year-old Listed Doonside Cup S. winner Encapsulation (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in foal on the first cover to Camelot (GB). Encapsulation is listed at £250,000 plus VAT.
Knight, who has sourced Group 1 winners Waikuku (Ire), The Wow Signal (Ire) and Garswood (GB), said, “I am delighted to launch Wesellbloodstock.com with the high-class mare Encapsulation who is in foal to one of my favourite stallions, Camelot. Encapsulation is a good-looking, listed-winning mare who got in foal on the first cover to Camelot and will make a great addition to anyone's broodmare band.”
