Mikimoto Tops ThoroughBid’s March Sale

Martin Keighley went to £46,000 to secure recent Hereford bumper winner Mikimoto (GB) (Scorpion {Ire}) (lot 40) through ThoroughBid's March Sale. Formerly trained by Henry Daly, the 4-year-old gelding will now head to Keighley's Condicote Stables.

“We had the second in the race that Mikimoto won at Hereford and we thought that he was a decent horse, so I was interested when I saw him in the sale,” Keighley said. “I think £46,000 is a more than fair price and being able to sit here in my office bidding made the whole process very easy. It's my first time using the platform and it was all very straightforward.

“Although he's only four, I believe he's not a backward horse at all and he'll probably go for another bumper again before going over hurdles next season.”

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “We're really pleased with the sale of Mikimoto, who was last seen winning his bumper just five days ago. Being flexible in the bloodstock sales space is key and I know that both Henry Daly and Martin Keighley are very happy with the deal they've got.

“Having two of Jump racing's biggest yards in the shape of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott both selling with us is great to see, while it was also good to have Shark Hanlon back buying again.

“Ben Clarke, who purchased Cheltenham Festival-bound Elegant Escape (Ire) (Dubai Destination) through us last year, looks to have purchased a nice Walk In The Park filly for £30,000, so she could be one to keep an eye on and we'd like to wish him the best of luck once again.”

The 37-lot ThoroughBid March Sale catalogue is now online. Set for Mar. 3 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on the ThoroughBid online platform, the sale features several entries from Ronan McNally including the 2020 Troytown winner The Jam Man (Ire) (Papal Bull {GB}) (lot 5) and Grade 2 scorer Dreal Deal (Ire) (Arvico {Fr}) (lot 17).

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “We are delighted with the March Sale's offerings–our most varied mixed sale yet with the exciting additions of breeding rights to three quality UK-based stallions.

“It's also great to be entrusted by a trainer with another set of quality horses, like The Jam Man and Dreal Deal. These are two classy dual-purpose horses who'll give their new connections plenty of great days ahead and could be aimed at the spring festivals”

“With plenty of black-type running through the catalogue, the broodmare and young stock entries have some great potential and we're very much looking forward to seeing how they sell and what they go on to do with their new connections.

“Our £5,000 Point2Rules Bonus is a really valuable incentive for buyers and, as so many of Britain and Ireland's top horses start out in Point-to-Points, it's a highly achievable bonus.”
