Four British pointers – all four-year-olds who have won since the turn of the year – join the line-up for tomorrow’s Tattersalls’ Cheltenham February Sale.

They are the Anya Ingman-trained Glory And Honour (Lot 15), the Sophie Lacey-trained duo of Velasco (Lot 21) and Gold Clermont (Lot 40), and Striking A Pose (Lot 34) from Tom Ellis’s stable.

Rider Tommie O’Brien knows more about the quartet than most, for he rode three of them to victory and he was in opposition to Striking A Pose when that horse won at Brocklesby Park on Saturday. O’Brien was in the saddle when Glory And Honour made a winning start to his racing career at Chaddesley Corbett, making all the running in a nine-runner maiden race before pulling clear of the 2/1 favourite Kinondo Kwetu who finished second. Owned by Ingman and her fiancé, Tom Bennett (pictured above with their horse and O’Brien), Glory And Honour (Elusive Pimpernel) was a €17,500 purchase at Tattersalls Ireland’s May Store Sale last year.

Velasco (Sholokhov), a €32,000 purchase at Tattersalls Ireland’s August Sale, ran out the easy winner of a ten-runner maiden at Milborne St Andrew, while his stablemate, Gold Clermont (Balko), won a three-runner Jockey Club Mares’ and Fillies’ Maiden race at Brocklesby Park. She was a £16,000 purchase at Goffs UK’s Spring Store Sale.

Striking A Pose (Getaway) was ridden by Gina Andrews when landing a six-runner maiden at Brocklesby Park. An imposing horse by a highly-fashionable sire, Striking A Pose was sold for €32,000 at Goffs’ Land Rover Sale in 2019.

The sale starts at 1.30pm and some 43 lots are set to take their turn in the ring.
