Thunderbear | Horse Racing Free Tips

A 50% share in Royal Ascot G3 Jersey S. probable Thunderbear (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), most recently fourth in the G3 Goffs Lacken S. at Nass on May 21, was sold for £75,000 through ThoroughBid on Thursday. City Bloodstock was the high bidder and County Meath-based trainer Jack Davison retained his 50% share in the 3-year-old gelding,

“I think it's a fair price and, at that money, it's makes a lot of sense for the new partner too,” Davison said. “They've now got a significant share in a good, progressive horse who's got plenty of big days ahead of him.

“He's bouncing at the moment! I think the horse will run very well in Ascot and he'll give the new owner a lot of pleasure going forward. He is in great nick, but he's only a baby and there's plenty ahead of him.”

The Jersey is set to take place on Saturday, June 24.

“Selling a 50% share in a Royal Ascot runner a week before the meeting has been a great success, not least going for £75,000,” ThoroughBid CEO James Richardson said. “ThoroughBid has broken new ground with this sale; tailoring an online auction to fit the needs of a part-sale, and positioning on a specific date ahead of it's intended run at Royal Ascot hopefully shows how flexible we can be. It's a new and important string to our bow.”

A 50% share in Thunderbear (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), who ran fourth in the G3 Lacken S., will be offered on ThoroughBid on Thursday, June 15. The 3-year-old gelding is pointing to a run in the G3 Jersey S. at Royal Ascot on Saturday, June 24. The sale will run from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.

“We are looking forward to partnering up with somebody, or a group of people, for this horse,” trainer and part-owner Jack Davison said. “He's ideal, he's a flag bearer for me whom I would very much love to keep around the place, and it's just a great opportunity to bring some people into ownership at a really good level. He's a very good horse, he's very straightforward, and he's going to run his heart out in the Jersey S. at Royal Ascot.

“Whoever comes in to take the share can have the horse run in their colours. They will also have their name in the racecard, and hopefully they've got a live chance heading into Royal Ascot. It's a unique opportunity.”

Rated 107, Thunderbear won a Nottingham handicap in May and his granddam is GIII Glens Falls H. heroine Rosinka (Ire) (Soviet Star), who was also second in the GI Flower Bowl Invitational S. and third in the GI Spinster S.

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said, “These one-off, one-horse sales always generate a lot of excitement. The chance to own 50% of a Royal Ascot runner, including having the horse run in their colours, is a unique offering and we're looking forward to seeing the bids fly in next Thursday.

“Thunderbear is clearly a horse on the up with plenty of raw ability. He was a very stylish winner at Nottingham two starts back and followed that up with a really good fourth in the Lacken S. to The Antarctic, who himself has serious claims in the G1 Commonwealth Cup. Whoever ends up winning the bidding on Thursday looks to have a live chance in the Jersey S. and a very smart prospect for the season ahead, that's for sure.”
