Glenfinnan (Ire) (Harry Angel {Ire}) ran out a two-length winner of the eight-furlong British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden S. at Yarmouth on Thursday, and in the process became the 300th winner to earn the €20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus. The Mick and Janice Mariscotti colourbearer and Andrew Balding trainee was making his third start. After the win of Glenfinnan, who was a 100,000gns purchase from the draft of Glidawn Stud last year, the Book 1 Bonus has paid £7,125,000 to owners.
Balding was winning his 16th Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus and said, “Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale is Europe's premier yearling sale and we have had great success buying there. The introduction of the £20,000 October Book 1 Bonus was a great initiative from Tattersalls and my owners are always thrilled to win one. We'll be looking for suitable candidates for next year's bonuses at the sale in two weeks' time.”
The £20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus is open to all yearlings offered at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale which takes place from Oct. 4-6.
