Newmarket trainer John Gosden out-bid London-based agent Jamie McCalmont (standing with Coolmore's Paul Shanahan & Michael Tabor) & paid 440,000 guineas (A$970,000) for a colt by Invincible Spirit out of Robellino mare Need You Badly consigned by Norman Williamson's Oak Tree Farm.
This colt was previously purchased as a yearling for just 50,000 guineas (A$110,000). Oak Tree Farm at County Meath in Ireland sold 5 lots over the 2 days of the sale for a total 1,255,000 guineas (A$2.761m). Gosden told racingpost.co.uk: "He's for an American-based client with a lot of interests, so I don't know if I'll be training him. He looks like he'll be a 2YO & was a gorgeous, athletic horse, who was very well put together."
