Stephen Thorne, Shamrock Thoroubreds manager, said of the former AB Racing runner, “Go Athletico looks like a very nice and strong prospect. He is a solid horse to compete in Ireland in sprint races. He will go in training with Ado McGuiness. We are delighted.”

“We quickly found our niche in the NH discipline and quickly created a network in the Arabian thoroughbred market,” explained Arnaud Angéliaume, CEO of Auctav. “We have worked hard in recent months to make the Auctav brand better known among actors of Flat racing, trainers, owners, bloodstock agents, and this is a mission that will continue throughout the year. We thank the owners of Go Athletico for trusting us with the sale of this performer and Stephen Thorne as well as the other bidders for showing their interest in this very beautiful lot.”

Consigned by Osborne's The Old Malthouse Stables, the 3-year-old filly is a half-sister to the Listed Prix Coronation second Savaanah (Ire) (Olden Times {GB}). Their unraced dam, Tanouma (Mr. Greeley), is a half-sister to GIII Oceanport S. hero Silent Roar (Unbridled's Song), while farther back in the family are Grade/Group 1 winners and sires Joyeux Danseur, Noverre, and standout juvenile Arazi.

“I had seen her first race where she ran fifth at Southwell and thought she ran with a great deal of promise,” said Watson. “I followed her next run when she won at Chelmsford and thought there was definitely more improvement to come. No plan has been “hatched” as of yet but we would like to race her on. We may give her a rest following on from her recent win, but we are yet to make a decision. Nothing is certain in this game–it's early days for her but you always live in hope.”

Sergeant Tibbs (GB) (Bobby's Kitten) (lot 24) made 22,000gns, the same price as lot 32, Zero Mostel (GB) (No Nay Never), when selling to John Flint. Part of Robyn Brisland's Danebury Racing Stables' draft, the winning 5-year-old gelding is rated 73 on the Flat.

Brisland said, “We've found utilising Tattersalls Online extremely useful, especially being a small yard, as it has allowed our horses to gain good traction from a wide range of buyers. Our owners enjoy selling on it as it's very cost effective in terms of entry fees, no transport costs and minimal staffing costs.

“There is also great flexibility with Tattersalls Online, for example if a horse happens to not sell, we can run them again next week with minimal stress to all involved.”

Zero Mostel, consigned by Ger Lyons's Glenburnie Stables, was purchased by Gordon Watson Bloodstock. The 3-year-old gelding is a half-brother to GI Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Uni (GB) (More Than Ready) and has made two starts so far.

Overall, the sale grossed 210,700gns for 29 lots sold. The next sale on the Tattersalls Online platform is the Charity Online Auction of Stallion Nominations in aid of “Giving to Ukraine” and the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, which will take place on Feb. 20-21. The full catalogue for the charity auction, arranged in conjunction with Oliver St. Lawrence, will be published on Friday, Feb. 17.

“This last sale of the year almost felt like our very first sale,” said Auctav Managing Director Arnaud Angeliaume. “We are delighted with the great sale of Djelo. We could see that the Auctav concept had really been successful because of its flexibility between monthly sales, wild cards and flash sales. We had a lot of customers connected during this session and a lot of

bidding that went into extra time, especially for Djelo's wild card which reached €140,000.

“The Auctav app, launched this week, had its first test. It worked well in real time and we are really very happy with this innovation which will further facilitate the customer experience.”

“We are very happy Toby Jones joins us,” said Auctav General Manager Arnaud Angeliaume in a statement. “When we were looking for a bloodstock agent, we were delighted to be contacted by Toby Jones. We knew he was already convinced by the Auctav concept since he was one of our first buyers. His arrival is great news: Toby will focus on the selection of horses in training.”

“I liked the professionalism of Auctav with its platform and its team,” said Jones. “Online sales are still new and some buyers are still in observation mode towards this type of auction, so there is a lot of potential. In France, where there are few sales of horses in training, I find that this gives everyone the opportunity to be able to sell their horses at the best time. Covid has prompted auction houses to increase online sales, but today it is part of the landscape and it can bring new owners to the game through this method of purchase.”
