Flawless Fusion Headlines Tattersalls Online July Sale at 140,000gns

[Wandering Eyes]

Promising two-year-old filly Flawless Fusion (lot 20) took top billing at the Tattersalls Online July Sale when selling for 140,000gns to Blandford Bloodstock from Jim Bolger's Glebe House Stables.

A daughter of Dawn Approach and the dual Listed-placed mare French Fusion (Harzand), from the family of the G1 Melbourne Cup hero Twilight Payment, Flawless Fusion made an encouraging start to her career when filling the runner-up spot on last month's debut.

“She caught the eye at Leopardstown,” Blandford Bloodstock's Stuart Boman said of that performance. “Irish maidens are so competitive and she closed very well. When you are buying from Jim Bolger, you know these horses have not only been produced well but they have also been bred with meticulous care. It can be hard to find horses that are lightly raced that have exhibited a high level of ability. Ultimately, she looks to be good value when compared to the breeze-up or yearling prices. She has already shown potential and hopefully she goes on for new connections.”

Elsewhere in the sale, the complete dispersal of the estate of legendary Irish trainer Kevin Prendergast attracted great interest, with all 10 lots offered selling for an aggregate of 241,800gns. Most popular was the unraced juvenile Mergus Serrator (lot 115), who went the way of James Fyffe for 58,000gns. The son of Masar is out of a full-sister to the Listed winner and Group 1-placed sire Whitecliffsofdover.

Also finding favour was the unraced two-year-old filly Speckled Brown (lot 116), who was bought by agent Nick Bell, acting on behalf of Windlestone, for 56,000gns. A daughter of Prendergast's Classic winning-sire Awtaad, she is a sibling to three winners and comes from the family of G1 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Chorist.

Of the 102 lots offered, 62 sold for a total of 677,000gns and at an average of 10,919gns. Unsold lots remain available and offers can be made through the Make An Offer facility on the Tattersalls Online website.
