Iconic Sky Tops The ThoroughBid September Sale

The mare Iconic Sky (GB) (Sixities Icon {GB}) (lot 33), in foal to new Overbury stallion Golden Horn (GB) and with a filly at foot by Jack Hobbs (GB), brought a sale-topping £50,000 from Longner Bloodstock during Friday's ThoroughBid September Sale. Offered by Beswick Brothers Bloodstock, the 9-year-old is a winner over hurdles and is a half-sister to Martello Sky (GB) (Martaline {GB}), who won the Listed Sandown Mares' Hurdle.

At the end of the sale, 23 lots sold (57.5%) and the aggregate was £199,200.

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “Friday was a very busy day of bidding, with interest coming in from all corners of the globe, and overall a very successful sale with 23 lots sold totalling almost £200,000. Topping the bill was Iconic Sky, who was part of the Beswick Brothers' dispersal, and I know they're very pleased with the final price of £50,000.

“Elsewhere, we're delighted to have sold all three of the lots consigned by Willie Mullins, as well as getting two away for Charlie Hills in the shape of Spoof (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}) (lot 46) (£7,000) and Papa Don't Preach (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) (lot 13) (£16,500), who were both bought by Kevin Frost.

“This sale marks a year since our first back in September 2021 and we're delighted with the way things are progressing.”
