Bidding Open For Final Phase of Todd Dispersal

Bidding for the final phase of the Glen Todd Dispersal is now open at digital.fasigtipton.com. The catalogue features 35 in-foal mares and weanlings, all available for inspection at Todd Manor Farm, 2991 Leestown Rd., in Midway, KY, just outside of Lexington. Ballysax Bloodstock consigns all of the horses on behalf of the Dispersal.

Twenty-one broodmares will be on offer in foal to the likes of American Freedom, Army Mule, Cairo Prince, Complexity, Echo Town, Enticed, Frosted, Good Magic, Knicks Go, Mo Town, Nyquist, Practical Joke, and Upstart. Fourteen weanlings are catalogued by such sires as Cairo Prince, Frosted, Hard Spun, Mo Town, Outwork, Practical Joke, and The Factor. All horses will be sold without reserve.

Todd, a breeder of considerable importance in British Columbia, Canada, passed away Mar. 27, 2022, at the age of 75. The first phase of the dispersal, consisting of horses of racing age and yearlings, was also conducted on the Fasig-Tipton Digital platform this past spring.

“Mr. Todd bred exclusively to race, developing families and raising foals with the sole aim of success on the racetrack,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales. “These offerings provide access to a successful program that has rarely seen the commercial market.”

Bidding will close Thursday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. EDT and all bidders must register at the digital platform in order to take part. Those wishing to inspect horses in person may do so at at open house at Todd Manor Farm this Sunday, Sept. 25, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For inquiries or to schedule a personal inspection, contact Ballysax's Carl McEntee on (859) 397-8272 or via email at carl@ballysaxbloodstock.com.

First ThoroughBid Sale Set For Sept. 12

New digital sale platform ThoroughBid will host its first sale on Sept. 12, the company announced on Thursday. Entries will be accepted for the platform through Friday, Sept. 3. ThoroughBid, which is currently a team sponsor in the William Hill Racing League, will kick off their sale at 10 a.m. on Sept. 12, with bidding ending for each lot at two-minute intervals beginning at 6 p.m. In addition, anti-snipe technology will be utilised, so that any bid made in the last minute will extend the auction by an additional two minutes.

Will Kinsey, co-founder of ThoroughBid, said, “The feedback we've had since launching last month has been very encouraging. ThoroughBid's sponsorship of the Racing League has helped raise awareness of what we are doing and it's been great to hear from a range of trainers, owners and breeders who are all interested in being involved in our first sale.

“The first sale falling in mid-September provides everyone with a good opportunity to buy and sell bloodstock. The flexibility of our product means we can setup future sales to suit the needs of the industry rather than sticking to traditional dates.”

Added Andrew Balding, who currently leads the UK Trainers' Championship and is one of Team ThoroughBid's trainers in the Racing League, “Selling horses is always a challenge and a new platform like ThoroughBid is very welcome.

“Not everybody needs to be waiting for the autumn sales and, obviously, income for our owners is very important if they are going to re-invest in time for the yearling sales.”
