Cloudy Dancer (Thorostride/Jamie Newell)
Dam of Royal Ascot Winner Sells for $430,000 on Fasig-Tipton Digital
Fasig-Tipton Release
LEXINGTON, Ky.—The Cloudy Dancer (GB) Flash Sale ended Friday afternoon with a bang as a bidding war stopped the clock at 2:04 pm with the mare sold for $430,000 to David Hutson.
On June 20 of this year, Cloudy Dancer’s second foal – Shareholder (Not This Time) – captured the Norfolk S. (G2) for two-year-olds at prestigious Royal Ascot to remain undefeated. His victory was the third fastest time in the last 40 years of the race’s history.
Cloudy Dancer’s connections opted to offer her on Fasig-Tipton Digital, and just five days after Shareholder won the Norfolk, bidding opened for the eight-year-old daughter of Invincible Spirit (IRE) in a one-horse “flash sale”. Drawing 2,432 views over the next four days, the young broodmare found a new home with Hutson for the final price of $430,000.
Cloudy Dancer (GB) was consigned by Brendan and Olive Gallagher’s Frankfort Park Farm, agent for Skyfall Thoroughbreds LLC.
“This sale is a perfect example of what Fasig-Tipton Digital is about,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton’s Director of Digital Sales. “The mare’s owners saw an opportunity to capitalize on her increase in value based on Shareholder’s performance at Royal Ascot. We owe a huge thanks to all the participants.”
The next sale of the digital platform is the July Digital Sale, to be held July 18 through July 23. Nominations close July 10. Contact Leif Aaron at laaron@fasigtipton.com or log on to fasigtipton.co/clientportal to nominate.
