ThoroughBid Midsummer Sale Set For July 22

The ThoroughBid Midsummer Sale has been scheduled for July 22, between the Galway and Goodwood festivals. Bidding will begin at 9 a.m. with lots finishing at two-minute intervals beginning at noon. The closing date for entries is 5 p.m. on Monday, July 11.

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “It's been a very successful start to the year, with a healthy clearance rate of 50.5% and some big connections entrusting us with the sale of their horses, and we're hoping to continue the trend just before Glorious Goodwood and Galway get underway.

“Such is the flexibility of ThoroughBid, we can quickly offer the platform for a horse to be sold just days before a major racing festival, like Goodwood or Galway, and slot in sales where there traditionally hasn't been a space for them.”

Grandero Bello Tops ThoroughBid Sale

Irish point-to-point winner Grandero Bello (Fr) (Great Pretender {Ire}) topped the ThoroughBid Christmas Sale on Sunday evening with a bid of £50,000 from Harty Racing. The 5-year-old gelding will join the Curragh-based Eddie and Patrick Harty's stable and will be eligible for ThoroughBid's Point2Rules bonus, which offers up to £15,000 in bonuses to any pointer sold through the platform that goes on to win first time under rules.

James Richardson, chief executive officer of ThoroughBid, said, “Each sale has been a bit different and this time we're particularly pleased to have sold some nice pointers. We announced the new Point2Rules bonus at the back end of November and that's certainly attracted some promising types. Again, the feedback from those bidding last night has been hugely positive and we're delighted to have closed out the year on a high.

“Having only kicked off with our first auction in September, we've now completed four and have a fifth slated for Jan. 16–the All-Weather Sale. Selling Belfast Banter was an obvious highlight for us, while having completed sales for a variety of top trainers, studs and point-to-point yards, we're really pleased with how things have begun.”
