[Wandering Eyes]

The dual winner Arctic Grey (lot 2) took top billing at the Tattersalls Online October Sale when going the way of Richard Frisby Bloodstock for 66,000gns.

Consigned by Richard Hannon's East Everleigh Stables, the son of Dark Angel has a Timeform rating of 93 and was last seen finishing third in a seven-furlong handicap at Chelmsford. He is out of a winning half-sister to the multiple Group 2 scorer Penitent (Kyllachy) and G2 Mill Reef Stakes hero Supplicant (Kyllachy).

“Arctic Grey will continue his racing career in Bahrain where he will be trained at the Royal Stables by Paul Smith,” said Frisby. “Paul has been assisting his father, Allan Smith, for the last 20 years and has recently taken over the license in his own name after many years of success together.”

Other popular lots among the horses in training section included the five-time winner Bright (Starspangledbanner) (lot 14), consigned by DML Racing, who was bought by Danny Kearns for 47,000gns, and the high-class handicapper Old Cock (lot 64). The latter was offered by Bethell Racing, on behalf of owner Vimy Aykroyd, with a Timeform rating of 104, with the Hambleton Handicap at York's Dante Festival featuring among his four career wins. Northgate Lodge Stud secured the son of Calyx for 26,000gns.

Ahead of next month's inaugural Online Yearling Session, Thursday's October Sale also saw some notable results across the yearlings on offer, including a son of Ardad (lot 125) who was purchased by Mark Walford Racing for 12,000gns. Another to find favour was a filly by State Of Rest (lot 113), consigned by Forenaghts Stud, who was knocked down to Martin Hayes for 10,500gns.
