Seeking Gold (Ire) (Havana Gold {Ire}), who is rated 90, was purchased for 78,000gns during the Tattersalls Online June Pop-Up Sale on Friday.
The 3-year-old colt was secured by Debbie Mountain and Qatari-based owner Hassan Al Abdulmalik, and is set to race in that country.
Mountain said, “We are very pleased. He is a nice horse and he looks like he is definitely a fast ground horse. He will come to Qatar. He has a good pedigree and looks like he will hopefully be effective from a mile to 10 furlongs. That's what we will be aiming for and he looks like a nice prospect for the future for us here. I don't think we will run him next week at Royal Ascot but I would imagine he will run again before he leaves the United Kingdom although we might save him for when he makes it over here, where his main targets will be.”
Seeking Gold won as a juvenile, and was also fourth in the Listed Ascendant S. at Haydock. His dam is a half-sister to Hong Kong's G2 Jockey Club Mile winner Wade Giles (Ire)/Destined For Glory (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}).
