The four-time Grade 1 winner Benie Des Dieux sells for a new record price at the Tattersalls Ireland November NH Sale when fetching €350,000.
A packed sale ring welcomed the mare by Great Pretender, offered by Closutton Stables and in-foal Walk In The Park, and the bidding kicked off at €100,000. Bids came in from all around the ring from Cormac Farrell, Will Kinsey and Ross Doyle, as well as online, but it was Coolmore's Gerry Aherne, bidding on the balcony, who was successful.
"She has been bought for MV Magnier and Noel and Valerie Moran in partnership, the first horse they have had together," said Aherne. "Noel and Valerie are putting together an incredible broodmare band and we are delighted to be involved with them.
"It was something that was discussed recently, Noel and Valerie are a big part of Irish racing now, so to start a relationship with them makes sense. Plans are fluid, the first job was to get the mare bought."
Of Benie Des Dieux, a Grade 1 winner at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals, Aherne added: "Willie said to me this morning that of all the mares that he has sold he thought that she was the best. She looked stunning today, was turned out incredibly well. I am delighted for former owner Rich Ricci, too, he is another man who supports Irish racing at a high level."
Of plans moving forward, he said: "We are not short of stallions, but a horse such as In Swoop might suit, we will decide that with the Morans in time."
Of this week's trade at Tattersalls Ireland, he added: "It has been an incredible week. This country is amazing, the breeders around this country – they are amazing what they can produce."
(16:52)
Lot 1251:
the Grand National (G3) runner-up Magic Of Light is sold for €185,000, bought by Coolmara Stables, the farm earlier this week having sold the Crystal Ocean colt out of Daydream Beach for €120,000 (Lot
861).
Kieran Mariga and son Cathal, taking more time out from his Maynooth Equine Business course, were standing at the top of the stairs, with Mariga Jnr in charge of bidding. He positively and determinedly batted back attempts from Will Kinsey, as well as an online bidder, for the successful purchase of the Flemensfirth 10-year-old, sold carrying to Crystal Ocean.
It is the second time this week that the father and son team have been involved in the transaction of a leading lot – on Wednesday they sold this week's top-priced foal, the Crystal Ocean colt out of Daydream beach (Lot
861).
Mariga Jnr said: "We said that Benie would be too dear, so the next best was this mare. We really like her, she is a lovely strong mare with a good walk. She has a great pedigree herself, it is a great honour to be able to take her home.
"We haven't thought about plans yet, we will foal her down and see what the foal is like – she might go back to the same sire."
"We thought she'd make €150,000 and then we'd see where she got to," said Mariga Snr, before adding ruefully: "We didn't keep the money we made earlier this week for long!"
The mare was consigned today by Baroda Stud, offering her on behalf of owner Ann & Alan Potts Limited. She had been trained throughout her career by Jessica Harrington to win nine races, including three Grade 2 victories.
Daughter Kate Harrington was at the sale ground to see the mare sell.
"It has been emotional seeing her go,"she said, "but she has gone to a lovely farm. She did us all proud throughout her career. I bought her with Stephen Kemble and I rode her to win a bumper in my own colours. That was special at the time. It is amazing what she did in the Grand National, it is a pity COVID happened – that year she was in the form of her life."
(16:45)
Lot 1254:
Buildmeupbuttercup, the Listed-winning and Grade 1-placed mare by Sixties Icon, bred by William Harrison-Allan, is bought online by Jayne McGivern for €165,000.
