Charismatic Kid Tops Friday’s Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale at £300K

[Wandering Eyes]

Charismatic Kid (lot 28) headlined Friday's Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale when bought by trainer Gordon Elliott for £300,000. Consigned by Colm Ryan Racing, the son of Affinisea was an impressive winner of a Navan bumper last week.

“He looks a nice horse,” said Elliott after outbidding Tessa Greatrex for the gelding. “We were at the races when he won and he won well. Colm has done a great job with him, so fair play to him. The horse won't jump a hurdle this season. We will see if he is okay for a bumper in the spring.”

Elliott was responsible for buying four of the 23 lots that changed hands, with his other purchases including the impressive point winner Thinkitdontjinxit (Vadamos) (lot 20) from Denis Murphy's Ballyboy Stables at £185,000.

Elsewhere, Anthony Bromley of Highflyer Bloodstock also struck a meaningful blow when stretching to £200,000 to secure Order On Time from Sean Doyle's Monbeg Stables. Runner-up on his point debut at Turtulla last month, the son of Order Of St George was bought to embark on a career under Rules with Paul Nicholls.

Total turnover for Tattersalls Cheltenham's final sale of 2025 reached £1,936,000, with the clearance rate coming in at 85%. The average was £84,174 and the median was £60,000.
