ThoroughBid March Catalogue Available

The 37-lot ThoroughBid March Sale catalogue is now online. Set for Mar. 3 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on the ThoroughBid online platform, the sale features several entries from Ronan McNally including the 2020 Troytown winner The Jam Man (Ire) (Papal Bull {GB}) (lot 5) and Grade 2 scorer Dreal Deal (Ire) (Arvico {Fr}) (lot 17).

Besides the horses-in-training, broodmares, and other young stock, there are also breeding rights available in Legends Of War (lot 28), Roseman (Ire) (lot 32) and established stallion Charming Thought (GB) (lot 36).

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “We are delighted with the March Sale's offerings–our most varied mixed sale yet with the exciting additions of breeding rights to three quality UK-based stallions.

“It's also great to be entrusted by a trainer with another set of quality horses, like The Jam Man and Dreal Deal. These are two classy dual-purpose horses who'll give their new connections plenty of great days ahead and could be aimed at the spring festivals”

“With plenty of black-type running through the catalogue, the broodmare and young stock entries have some great potential and we're very much looking forward to seeing how they sell and what they go on to do with their new connections.

“Our £5,000 Point2Rules Bonus is a really valuable incentive for buyers and, as so many of Britain and Ireland's top horses start out in Point-to-Points, it's a highly achievable bonus.”

Pair Of Shares And A Breeding Right Added To The Arqana Online Sale

Two more stallion shares and a breeding right have been added to the Arqana Online January Sale on Jan. 31.

A 1/48th share in Grade 1-winning jumper Nirvana Du Berlais (Fr) (Martaline {GB}) (lot 10) has been added to the catalogue. The share gives the right to two coverings a year in 2023 and 2024, followed by one covering a year beginning in 2025. Standing at Haras de la Hetraie for €6,500 this season, his first foals are juveniles.

There is also a breeding right available in crack miler Ribchester (Ire) (lot 11). He is the sire of 12 stakes winners including Group 1-placed Flaming Rib (Ire). He is priced at €7,500 this year and the breeding right gives the buyer the right to one covering a year.

Rounding out the new additions is a half-share (1/100th) in G1 Prix de l'Abbaye hero Wooded (Ire) (lot 12). The son of Wootton Bassett (GB) has his first yearlings in 2023, and commands €12,000 at Haras de Bouquetot. The half-share grants the buyer the right of one covering a year, plus a bonus covering which may be used in 2023 or 2024.

Zarak Share Leads The Way At Tattersalls Online January Sale

Aga Khan Studs' sire Zarak (Fr) continued to prove popular at the sales, as Tom Goff's Blandford Bloodstock shelled out 350,000gns on behalf of Chasemore Farm for a 1/50th share (lot 63) in the rising sire star to top the Tattersalls Online January Sale on Thursday.

The son of Arc heroine Zarkava (Ire) (Zamindar) has gone from strength to strength with his progeny in the past few years. Among his many stakes winners are group winners Purplepay (Fr), Sirjan (Ger), Baiykara (Fr), Lavello (Ire), and Lizaid (Ger), while La Parisienne (Fr) was runner-up in the G1 Prix de Diane.

Goff said, “I'm delighted to have secured the share in Zarak on behalf of Chasemore Farm. Andrew and Jane Black have a number of mares that they would like to send to France to be covered by Zarak over the next few seasons so, after some discussion, the decision was to give it a go.

“The sire has done tremendously well so far. At 11% stakes winners to runners and 68% winners to runners to date, his statistics sit comfortably with Dubawi (Ire)'s other successful sons Night Of Thunder (Ire) and New Bay (GB) at the same stage. In addition to his stakes winners, Zarak has also sired La Parisienne (Fr), who was second in the [G1] Prix de Diane, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he sires his first Group 1 winner.

“The fact that he is managed by Georges Rimaud at Haras de Bonneval is another massive plus for me personally. We have first-hand experience of their stallion syndicates–they are absolutely blue chip and are exceptionally well managed.”

The other lot to make six figures was a breeding right in one of last year's star first-crop sires, Whitsbury Manor Stud's Havana Grey (GB) (lot 66). Heather Raw came out the winning bidder at 105,000gns. The grey already has 16% stakes performers to runners, highlighted by group winners Rumstar (GB), Eddie's Boy (GB), and Lady Hollywood (GB), as well as listed winners Shouldvebeenaring (GB) and Cuban Mistress (GB).

Other breeding rights also went under the hammer, with one in Time Test (GB) (lot 62) making 32,000gns to WebBloodstock, and Stephen Hillen secured a breeding right to Harry Angel (Ire) (lot 65) for 30,000gns.

Overall, 31 of the 67 lots sold for a gross of 656,500gns. The average was 21,177gns and the median was 2,600gns.
