THE Tattersalls Online Sale this week was a relatively tame affair, though there was plenty of interest in an intriguing wildcard entry, that being a breeding right to Ardad.

The Overbury Stud stallion, who was available this year for £4,000, has made a sensational start at stud, with one of his 13 individual winners being the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes winner Perfect Power. The first breeding right to be offered online in Britain or Ireland, it sold for 52,000gns to Ed Player of Whatton Manor Stud.
