Kingman colt makes 800,000gns at Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up

A Kingman colt out of Group-producer Pure Excellence sold to Godolphin for 800,000gns at last night's Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale.

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 18th April 2024, by Brian Sheerin:

The colt was bought as a foal by Eddie O'Leary for 230,000gns at Tattersalls December Sale in 2022, but was led out unsold for 140,000gns when reoffered at Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale the following year. The full brother to Gr.3and Listed winner Parent's Prayer ended up realising 800,00gns at last night's sale.

Eddie O'Leary commented: "I am delighted. I think he’s a very, very talented horse and the mare’s already produced a stakes winner by the stallion. I knew he was very popular, he vetted well and he has a temperament that you just can’t buy. He’s unflappable. I hope he’s half as talented as I think he is because I think he’s a very, very good horse. I wish the new owners the very best of luck.”
