Postponed (Ire) gelding Postmark (GB) (lot 6), offered by Ralph Beckett's Kimpton Down Stables, topped Friday's ThoroughBid Midsummer Sale at £50,000. Sold to Avon Racing, Ltd., the 3-year-old will be prepared for a hurdling campaign. The second highest price on the day was Flashbulb (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) (lot 4), offered by Carriganog Racing. Placed in three starts to date, the 3-year-old filly from the family of stakes winner and G1 Sun Chariot S. second Dolores (GB) (Danehill) was snapped up by JOCKA EQUINE for £10,000.
Milton Harris, purchaser of Postmark, said, “We're delighted with the purchase of Postmark for £50,000. He was bought on spec to go juvenile hurdling and prior to the sale I spoke with a few jockeys that had ridden him before who agreed that they could see him going juvenile hurdling.”
James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “Postmark topped our sale at £50,000 and we all are looking forward to following him with Milton Harris as he embarks on a juvenile hurdling campaign.
“We're now counting down to our next sale on Friday, Sept. 16, where we will have an exciting catalogue to mark the anniversary of our very first sale.”
