Leading Purchasers
Posted on: 17th Apr 2014 by: McCalmont Bloodstock
After two days trading at Europe's premier two year old in training sale, the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up, McCalmont Bloodstock were named leading purchasers, with seven horses bought for an average of 265,714 GNS and a total of 1,860,000 GNS. This included the sale topping War Front colt, from the Mocklershill draft, that sold for a new European record. The sale was also the top price anywhere in the world this year.
Catalogued as Lot 119, the colt by WAR FRONT out of the DIXIE UNION mare JULIE FROM DIXIE, attracted a plethora of bidders including Seamus Burns and Charlie Gordon-Watson before David Redvers took up the running along with Jamie. Darley’s John Ferguson then joined the fray and looked to have secured the colt before Jamie made the successful bid, stood alongside Michael Tabor, MV Magnier and Paul Shanahan.
Other horses purchased at the sale will be joining trainers Michael Bell and Ralph Beckett.
