Champagne Gold Brings £34,000 in ThoroughBid’s August Sale

Group 3-placed Champagne Gold (Ire) (Presenting {GB}) brought a final bid of £34,000 from Dan Astbury/Stockton Hall to top Thursday's ThoroughBid August Online sale. The 8-year-old gelding, catalogued as lot 19, raced last season for Henry de Bromhead and now goes into the hands of Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero.

“He has been bought for a long-standing owner at Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's, with a view to go Hunter Chasing,” Astbury said. “He came highly recommended by a good friend and looks the ideal candidate to hopefully end up at one of the big hunter chases in the spring.

Overall, there was an 81% clearance rate for the 19 lots on offer, which included the complete dispersal of the racing and breeding stock belonging to W.A. Harrison-Allan, including the 5-year-old mare Undertheboardwalk (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) (lot 8), who fetched £17,500 from Walk Syndicate.

“To have been entrusted with a dispersal was a big vote of confidence for us and we're delighted to have sold their whole consignment,” James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said.

ThoroughBid To Offer Baycliffe Farm Dispersal

The complete dispersal of William Harrison-Allan's Baycliffe Farm, a breaking and pre-training yard, will sell at the ThoroughBid August Sale on Friday, Aug. 11. Harrison-Allan has owned and bred Thoroughbreds for more than 25 years.

Among the 10 lots offered from the Wiltshire operation will be Undertheboardwalk (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) (lot 8), a winner on debut as a 3-year-old and a half-sister to listed-placed Atomic Lady (Fr) (Kodiac {GB}); and the 4-year-old filly Kissininthebackrow (GB) (Sixties Icon {GB}) (lot 17), a winner of a mile novice event at Lingfield two starts back.

“Selling a total sum of stock privately or at physical sales can be tricky, expensive and time-consuming, so the fact that all of Mr Harrison-Allan's horses can be sold online with us will hopefully make life much easier for them,” James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said

The full catalogue can be viewed online.
