The Famous Five Brings €250k on I Want The Winner Sale Platform

The Famous Five (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) will be sent hurdling after bringing €250,000 from Guy Petit acting for Venetia Williams Racing during the latest I Want The Winner Sale. Trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, the 3-year-old colt is a dual winner at Fontainebleau in March and at Vichy on Aug. 15.

In foal to Cokoriko (Fr) (Robin des Champs {Fr}), Apple's Maelys (Fr) (Saddler Maker {Ire}) was knocked down for €60,000 to Guy Petit on behalf of Matthieu da Costa Noble's Haras de Tonnencourt. The full-sister to Grade 1 winner Apple's Jade (Fr) (Saddler Maker {Ire}) was consigned by Thierry Cypres. A co-owner of The Famous Five, Da Costa Noble, re-invested his profit from the colt to purchase the latter through Petit.

The final horse sold on the I Want The Winner online sale platform on Monday was Just Great (Fr) (Great Pretender {Ire}) for €10,000. Bred and owned by Pascal Priollet, the unraced 2-year-old colt will now go to Louisa Carberry's yard.

Valentin Adam, I Want The Winner's Development Director, said, “We are delighted with these three sales, which prove the attractiveness of our platform and its international influence. We thank vendors and buyers for their confidence and wish them plenty of success with their new recruits.”

I Want The Winner Online Platform Launched

I Want The Winner, a new digital platform for buying and selling racehorses online, was launched on Monday. The service is completely secure and transparent for both buyers and sellers. Geared toward the high-end of the bloodstock industry, I Want The Winner will offer horses-in-training, breeding stock, the syndication process, covering fees and stallion shares.

The 2017 concept is the brainchild of Christophe German, the founder of Le Centaure, a horse racing insurance brokerage which went on to become Markel France. German's partners in I Want The Winner are Michel Gasselin, Mehdi Mohammed and Dimitri Gallier. The trio were already involved in the setting up of Club Elevage-an online site which trades in the covering fees and shares of trotting stallions. German is also working with Valentin Adam, who has spent nearly three years at Arqana, and the company has representatives in France, Britain, Ireland (Billy Jackson-Stops), Germany (Tina Rau) and Australia (Louis Le Metayer).

“I witnessed the success of Club Elevage in a sphere, namely that of the trotting, where trading volume is far less than that of the world of flat racing,” said German. “I quickly became convinced that the Flat sector would benefit from a well thought out online sales platform, and one sharing the same values as those that govern Markel France, namely transparency, integrity and clarity. The design of such a platform required a lot of thought and, to bring it to fruition, I was able to draw on the expertise of my three established partners whose Club Elevage website is a proven success story. We are now proceeding towards the activation phase. I Want The Winner has already received the support of renowned professionals such as Francois Nicolle and Francis-Henri Graffard who, like us, believe in the project and which have understood why it's of interest. This type of sale is also a logical step from an animal welfare and also from an economic point of view as there is less travel. A number of developments are in the pipeline for the next few weeks, including online bidding for certain lots.”

Offerings already on I Want The Winner include: the broodmare Suama (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}) with her Goliath du Berlais (Fr) filly at foot, nominations to Le Havre (Ire), Almanzor (Fr), King Edward (Fr), Threat (Ire) and Born To Sea (Ire) and stallion shares in Threat and King Edward.
