RECENT bumper winner Jackstell headlines the catalogue for the ThoroughBid May Sale, which starts at 9am on Wednesday, May 29th.

The online sale also features a 131-rated chaser and some smartly-bred stores.

Jackstell (Lot 16), a five-year-old gelding by No Risk At All consigned by Emmet Mullins, placed in two point-to-points last year before winning his Rules debut at Tipperary on May 9th in the colours of Paul Byrne. Out of a winning mare, he is a half-brother to four winners.

Listed alongside Jackstell is the Susannah Ricci-owned Figaroc (Lot 9), a nine-year-old gelding by Masterstroke who is rated 131 over fences having placed in two listed races this year at Fairyhouse and Gowran Park for trainer Willie Mullins.

Among the National Hunt Stores in the May Sale catalogue is a three-year-old gelding by Blue Bresil (Lot 3), consigned by Evergreen Bloodstock, whose dam, Maria’s Benefit, was an eight-time winner, including the Grade 2 Doncaster Yorkshire Rose Mares’ Hurdle and Listed Taunton Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle. This is her first foal. Other stores in the catalogue are sired by the likes of Jack Hobbs, Diamond Boy and Scorpion.

The May Sale’s mixed catalogue of 31 lots includes flat horses-in-training consigned by Jamie Osborne and Charlie Fellowes; a two-year-old colt (Lot 8) by Sixties Icon out of two-year-old debut winner Emten, and Hieloray (Lot 13), a three-year-old colt by Phoenix Of Spain who was only narrowly beaten in a maiden contest at Bath last September and is yet to run as a three-year-old.

Bidding goes live at 9am on Wednesday 29th May.

CEO of ThoroughBid, James Richardson, said: “Having sold a good number of talented horses for Willie Mullins and the Riccis in the past, it’s great to have acquired another one like Figaroc for the May Sale.

“Emmet Mullins has had plenty of success with ThoroughBid-purchased horses, including champion hunter chaser Its On The Line, so we’re very pleased to have been entrusted with the sale of this exciting bumper winner who looks to be a smart novice hurdle prospect for next season.

“It’s fantastic to have such quality and variety in the sale and we’re delighted to be listing horses from top consignors old and new under both codes. It is testament to all the hard work the team have put in.”
