She Is For Me Boys (GB) (Clovis Du Berlais {Fr}) (lot 161) was knocked down for 42,000gns to Tom Malone Bloodstock during the Tattersalls Online October Sale on Friday.
Consigned by Baltimore Stables, the 5-year-old point-to-pointer won a three-mile mares' maiden at Toomebridge on Oct. 5.
Malone said of the mare, “I've seen her plenty in James Doyle's yard and I liked her when I saw her in February. I saw her in September again and then she went and won first time out. The form was solid and she's out of a Presenting (GB) mare. She jumped for fun and that's going to be a big asset when she comes to Britain. She has been bought for Jamie Snowden and owners Karen and John Gunn.”
Also in action for debut hurdle winner Cruden (GB) (lot 35), Malone paid 26,000gns for the representative of Jessica Harrington's Commonstown Stables. A winner on the Flat, the son of Time Test (GB) is a full to winner Lada (Ire) and a half-brother to the winner A Kind Of Magic (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}).
Commonstown Stables also consigned lot 74, the winning hurdler Pigeon House (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}). A two-time winner this year, he was knocked down to JC Racing for 30,000gns.
Sea The Stars's yearling filly out of Malakoot (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) (lot 162) was the dearest yearling of the sale, when making 25,000gns to Paragon from Barton Stud. Her second dam is G1 Pretty Polly Stakes victress Ambivalent (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}), also the dam of G1 Prix Vermeille heroine Teona (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).
A pair of broodmares each hammered for 11,500gns–Sugar Beat (Ire) (Australia {GB}) (lot 160) and Pepper Lane (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) (lot 158). The former, a Whitsbury Manor Stud-consigned mare in foal to Sergei Prokofiev, sold to Ravenswood, while Mohammed Hamad Khalifa Al Attiyah of Qatar bought the latter. Pepper Lane, consigned by Norton Grove Stud, is in foal to Kameko.
The gross was 319,900gns for 49 lots marked as sold. The average was 6,529gns and the median was 2,400gns.
