Jump jockey Will Kennedy to join ThoroughBid as a consignment agent
He will continue to race-ride while joining a growing team for the sales company
Jump jockey Will Kennedy will join ThoroughBid as a consignment agent, the online company announced on Monday.
The 41-year-old adds to a growing team that already includes French champion jockey James Reveley and Andrew Elliott, as well as ThoroughBid's agents in Ireland, John Bourke and Tarlach Mac Giolla Cheara.
Kennedy, who will continue to ride professionally and is now in a regular role for trainer Olly Murphy, said: “I’ve always been very interested in the breeding side of things and am now looking forward to getting involved in the bloodstock sales industry.
“ThoroughBid, being the UK and Ireland’s first online auction house, is a unique product and that interested me even more. Your horse doesn’t have to leave the yard for it to be sold, which makes things much easier from a staffing point of view, and if you’re on the buying side, you don’t have to be anywhere, you can bid from wherever you like. I think that it’s a great idea."
ThoroughBid's next sale takes place on Friday, November 18, with entries closing on Monday, November 7.
