The final lot to pass through the ring, JOURDEFETE also made six figures on the board. Third on his racecourse debut, the Emmanuel Clayeux trained gelding is a half-brother to IL ETAIT TEMPS, that has been Grade 1 placed in Ireland this year. Harold Kirk, standing beside Willie Mullins and Pierre Boulard, signed the docket at €180,000 for the gelding that hails from the family of  multiple Graded winner ESPOIR ALLEN. 

He's coming from a man we bought multiple great horses and we've had a lot of success, said Harold Kirk. We have the half-brother that is Grade 1 placed and we think he’ll be just as good. He has a great pedigree and was highly recommended to us by his trainer, so we’re very happy.
