Friday’s Tattersalls Cheltenham January Sale saw four young British point-to-pointers go under the hammer.
Five-year-olds Barito and Slay Girl, who finished first and second in a GB Pointing Young Horse Maiden race at Sheriff Hutton on the previous Sunday, found buyers at £60,000 and £65,000 respectively. They had been bought as unbroken stores for €23,000 and £30,000.

Ryan Mahon, bloodstock advisor to Warwickshire-based Dan Skelton, made the winning bid for the Joe Hill-trained Barito, while Highflyer Bloodstock’s Anthony Bromley posted the successful offer for Slay Girl, who left Gina Andrews’ stable for a place with Somerset trainer Paul Nicholls.
Slay Girl’s stablemate, Azlad, who had won at Alnwick in December when still a four-year-old, was led from the ring unsold at £95,000, although Andrews said the gelding was set to join her husband, licensed trainer Tom Ellis, and would race on in new colours.

Le Questionnaire (grey horse pictured top of article), who was sent to the ring from Nick Wright’s Suffolk yard after being placed in two maidens this season, was sold for £26,000 to County Meath-based Gordon Elliott, no stranger to the purchase of a British point-to-pointer.
Tom Weston, a former leading rider in what is now the West Mercian Area of the sport, enjoyed a cracking result when offering four-year-old Mortal Coil, who he had trained to win an Exeter bumper on debut earlier this month. Worcestershire-based Weston had bought the son of Affinisea for €10,000 as a foal, and was handsomely rewarded for that piece of crystal ball gazing when his horse became another recruit to Skelton’s stable following a bid of £170,000.
