Just hours after he saddled Teahupoo to win the feature race at Punchestown on Thursday, trainer Gordon Elliott spent €870,000 on three new recruits at the Goffs Punchestown Sale.

Elliott's haul did not include the evening's top lot, a point-to-point winner named Swing Davis, but it's possible that Elliott could also be sent that mare to train as she was bought for €320,000 by bloodstock agent Mags O'Toole who was standing with Teahupoo's owner Brian Acheson at the time.
