High Class Sprinter Marchogion to Feature in the Tattersalls Online September Sale

High class sprinter MARCHOGION is set to feature as a highlight of the Tattersalls Online September Sale on 16 – 17 September following his dominant win at Chester last weekend.

Offered with a career high BHA rating of 97 and current Timeform rating of 106, the three-year-old son of Tally-Ho Stud’s Champion sire MEHMAS now boasts three wins over six furlongs on good to firm ground as well as on the all-weather. 

Consigned by Andrew Balding’s Kingsclere Training Stables, MARCHOGION displayed early signs of talent being placed twice from only three starts as a two-year-old. The progressive colt shed his maiden tag in January this year with an emphatic seven-length victory at Southwell before relishing more success with a comfortable win in a Class 2 handicap on Newmarket’s Rowley Mile in May. 

MARCHOGION’s profile was elevated further with his most recent triumph when making all the running in the Class 3 Harrison Handicap at Chester to draw clear almost four lengths ahead of his rivals passing the winning post. 

A 160,000 guineas graduate of last year’s Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up Sale when bought by JS Bloodstock and current owners Opulence Thoroughbreds, MARCHOGION is the second foal out of the winning PIVOTAL mare RAINCALL, herself a daughter of Australian Group 1 winner and dual Group 3 winner LONE ROCK.
