€286,000 The Gurkha colt New-York bound

Standing in the outdoor parade ring, appropriately socially distanced from the other bidders, Stephen Hillen went to £260,000 (€286,000) to secure the sole offering by Roderick Kavanagh's Glending Stables. The athletic bay is out of a Graded performer in America from a very deep Wildenstein family. He too will head to the US for his racing career as Hillen explained:

He is for a new client and will be trained by Christophe Clement. I sent him a list of three horses and this one was his pick. He looks like he will make a very nice horse on the turf. There is a good series of races there for three-year-olds and hopefully prize money will pick up next year.
