Orderandout Tops Tattersalls Online March Sale at 80,000 Guineas

The inaugural Tattersalls Online Point-to-Point and National Hunt Bumper Session provided the four highest-priced lots in the Online March Sale this afternoon, led by four-year-old filly ORDERANDOUT who realised 80,000 guineas when purchased by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock and Neil King.

Consigned by Robert Tector’s Coolbawn Stables, ORDERANDOUT placed second on debut at Lingstown earlier this month, finishing nine lengths clear of the third-placed horse. By exciting young national hunt sire ORDER OF ST GEORGE, she is out of a half-sister to dual Grade 3 winner VILLAGE VIC.

Following the sale, Matt Coleman of Stroud Coleman Bloodstock commented on the filly: “She was second to a horse who made £400,000 at the Cheltenham Sale last week, that I actually bid on, so I knew the time of the race and the sectionals were exceptional. If I couldn’t get the winner, the next best thing was to buy the runner-up and I’m pleased to get her. She was closing down the winner at the line.”

“She was bought for a new owner at Neil King’s and will make a smart bumper filly before progressing to hurdles and fences,” he added.

Commenting on the Online Point-to-Point and National Hunt Bumper Session, Coleman said: “I try to keep on top of all the sales and, as I went through the catalogue when it was released, I saw this filly was in and knew the form was fantastic. She looked a fantastic model on the video provided and vetted well. A good horse can come from anywhere.” 

Selling for the first time on the Tattersalls Online platform, consignor Robert Tector was thrilled with the outcome: “It was very simple. Tattersalls made it very easy for us. We didn’t have to go anywhere, making it all the better, and when you can get a price like that it makes it even better again. We are delighted. It has been great and we wish all the best to the new connections.”

Also proving popular from the session was MOTIVATOR gelding SEND EM RUNNING who sold for 68,000 guineas to Dan Astbury and Ben Pauling Racing. Consigned by Cormac Doyle’s Monbeg Stables, the four-year-old also finished runner-up on debut having been sent off even money favourite in a Lingstown maiden.

Third highest priced lot of the day was realised by POWER OF AUTHORITY who was knocked down to Hamish Macauley Bloodstock for 60,000 guineas on behalf of new connections. Offered by James Doyle’s Baltimore Stables, the five-year-old son of POET’S WORD showed plenty of promise on his recent debut at Tallow before coming to grief at the final fence when still in contention. 

Another promising four-year-old to garner interest was HELLO MISTER CUDDY who will cross the Irish Sea after being bought by trainer Olly Murphy for 35,000 guineas from Churchlands Stables. The attractive grey gelding by THE GREY GATSBY finished fourth on debut at Lingstown earlier this month behind subsequent £530,000 Tattersalls Cheltenham Festival Sale topper MONSTER TRUCK.

Other notable results included Aintree Grand National entry HARRY DES ONGRAIS who was bought for 28,000 guineas by John Duggan whilst the attractively bred four-year-old filly RIVER LILY was knocked down for 25,000 guineas to PFC Bloodstock.
