Wildcard additions to ThoroughBid's October Sale catalogue include three-time bumper winner and Grade 2-placed Shearling (GB) (Rail Link {GB}-Casual {GB}, by Nayef), in-foal to Stradivarius. Also listed placed on the Flat, the 10-year-old mare, offered as Lot 43, is a half-sister to G1 Australian Cup winner Harlem (GB) (Champs Elysees), and is the first mare in-foal to Stradivarius to be listed for sale in a public auction.
Also added as a wildcard is the Sophie Leech-trained Maillot Vert (GB) (Dunaden {Fr}-Santoria {Fr}, by Limnos {Jpn}), Lot 14, who has placed on all three starts to date; two bumpers and a conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau. The 4-year-old gelding is a half-brother to three winners.
CEO of ThoroughBid, James Richardson, said: “The well-subscribed October Sale has received some exciting wildcard additions this week and we are delighted to be the first auction house to list a mare in-foal to the mighty Stradivarius.
“Shearling was a very useful racehorse during her own career and future buyers of Stradivarius' progeny are eagerly awaiting their first appearances at the sales and on the racecourse, so we expect this lot to attract plenty of attention.”
