GORDON Elliott added to his impressive stable of quality horses when he paid £330,000 for the winning Fame And Glory point-to-pointer Ballyadam at the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale yesterday. A half-brother to this year’s winning chaser Legal Eyes, he is from a family that provided great success to the Brindleys some years ago.

Bidding opened at £100,000 for the four-year-old who beat Bold Enough by four lengths at Portrush, and the runner-up, a son of Jeremy, was subsequently sold for £65,000 to Henry de Bromhead. Ballyadam came from the yard of Colin McKeever who last year supplied the joint top-priced Muckamore who sold for £190,000.
