Tattersalls March Online Sale Topped By No Nay Never Gelding

Hamlet (Ire) (No Nay Never) (lot 14), a 2-year-old gelding, brought a sale-topping 26,000gns during the Tattersalls March Online Sale that wrapped on Wednesday. Offered by Johnstown Stud, the son of the Group 3 Musidora S. third Pandora (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was purchased by Mount Racing's John Quinn.

Quinn commented, “He has a lovely pedigree and is a nice, scopey individual. I was able to visit where he's been prepped and was very pleased when I saw him move. The Tattersalls Online platform is a great vehicle for a sale of this type, for both buyers and vendors.”

It was a tie for second on the leaderboard, with the Johnstown Stud-consigned full-brothers Valley of Kings (GB) (Zoffany {Ire}) (lot 12) and Tudor (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) (lot 25) both hammering for 24,000gns. Fernham struck for the 2-year-old Valley of Kings, who has already been gelded. Out of the Galileo mare Tiger Lilly (Ire), herself a half-sister to the stakes winner Cold Cold Woman (GB) (Machiavellian) and a full to G1 Gold Cup third Robin Hood (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the duo's third dam is the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Arctique Royale (Ire) (Royal and Regal).

Alliance Bloodstock and Orbital Racing snapped up the 3-year-old colt, Tudor.

“Tudor has been purchased for a new syndicate, Orbital Racing,” said Alliance Bloodstock's Eimear Donnelly. “He's a lovely horse, the last of the Zoffanys and rated 77 and will suit what we are looking for. A trainer has yet to be decided.”

Matt Coleman, advisor to the complete dispersal of the late Sir Robert Ogden's stock, commented, “The Tattersalls Online platform offered us an effective way of selling these horses and we're pleased with the prices that they all made. It was a very positive experience.”

At the close of the sale, 14 lots sold (58%) of 24 offered for a gross of 137,000gns. The median was 6,500gns and the average was 9,786gns.
