A colt by the late Jukebox Jury topped Monday's session of the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale when bought by Timmy Hillman for €88,000, the highest price ever paid for a foal on the opening day of this sale.Lot 203 hails from Burgage Stud's leading family, being out of the unraced Shantou mare Easeaway, a full-sister to the G1 Champion Bumper winner Briar Hill. Their dam Backaway is a full-sister to the multiple Grade 1 winner Boston Bob.“I am just hugely relieved,” said Burgage Stud's Victor Connolly. “We knew he was a nice horse. He was very popular but, until it happens, you just don't know. From day one, he was a very straightforward horse with a great temperament.“There is every hope that the pedigree will improve further. We have the mare and she has a four-year-old full-brother with Donnchadh Doyle. I spoke to him this morning and he's happy with the horse. It is a pedigree that's done us very well – it's been around for decades. We've had great days and now it's fantastic to see this young mare doing the same thing.”Hillman, who outbid Tim and Peter Nolan, added, “I have bought him for myself and Tally-Ho Stud. He is a lovely individual and will have some value when he comes back for resale. There are few better pedigrees and I just hope he will be lucky. He was the best on offer today.”Earlier in the session, a colt from the first crop of the four-time Group 1 winner Luxembourg, offered by Kilbarry Lodge Stud, changed hands for €85,000. Lot 135 was bought by George Case, working with his father Ben Case, and Kevin Ross.“As he is by Luxembourg, we think he could be a nice forward-going sort,” said Ross. “He has been bought for Lady Jane Grosvenor and will be for resale. We have seen everything by the sire and this was the one for us. They are good-walking foals and this colt has plenty of size and scope.“His half-brother by Santiago made €135,000 at the Derby Sale and has gone to Willie Mullins. Hopefully, he will do something before this colt comes back here.”Total turnover on the day of €1,859,950 represented a 4% increase on last year, despite a smaller catalogue, while the €14,645 average was up by 15% and the €11,000 median was up by 29%. The clearance rate was 67%.The post Jukebox Jury Colt Headlines Tattersalls Ireland Curtain-Raiser at €88,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
