The colt, consigned from David Powell’s Catridge Farm Stud, is from a top Juddmonte family that includes ZAFONIC and REAMS OF VERSE and by that stud’s very promising first season sire BEAT HOLLOW whose two-year-olds include the Group winner CHARLOTTE O FRAISE and Listed winner STREETS AHEAD.
LOT 1616: BEAT HOLLOW - LONDONNET
Purchased by Juddmonte Farms for 75,000 guineas
Six lots earlier, Newmarket trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam purchased Lot 1610, the INVINCIBLE SPIRIT colt out of the LAKE CONISTON mare LAKE NYASA for 65,000 guineas. The colt, who is out of a half-sister to Group 1 Ascot Gold Cup winner MR DINOS, was consigned from Dermot O’Rourke’s Plantation Stud and knocked down to Chapple-Hyam after he outlasted Irish bloodstock agent Peter Doyle. The progeny of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT have been in great demand during Parts 1 and 2 of the October Yearling Sale following the success of his two-year-olds which have included Group 2 Gimcrack winner CONQUEST and Listed winners BAHAMA MAMA and STEVIE GEE.
