Fergal O'Brien and Paddy Brennan combine for 45,000gns Teorie on Tattersalls Online

Fergal O'Brien and Paddy Brennan combined to pick up the top lot at the Tattersalls September Online Sale, Jim Bolger's winning Teorie, for 45,000gns. 

The son of Teofilo was the winner of a Leopardstown maiden over a mile and a quarter on his penultimate start and looks set for a National Hunt career.

He is the third foal out of the placed Vocalised mare Bobailin, a half-sister to Teofilo's Tyros Stakes second Theobald and from the family of multiple American Grade 1 scorer Dispute. Teorie is a brother to Theodulus, a middle-distance winner over 12 furlongs in Italy. 

O'Brien said: “We bought a lovely horse last year from Mr Bolger called Dancila by the same sire and this horse had a good profile, I loved his win at Leopardstown. We have an owner who wants a juvenile hurdler so we thought we’d give it a go. He’ll go back to Paddy Brennan’s and we’ll probably have him castrated, then we’ll start jumping him to go for juvenile hurdles.”

The next lot, another by Teofilo in Thats Jet, made 30,000gns to Scott Lowther when consigned by O'Sullivan Bloodstock. The gelding placed over hurdles when a half-length second at Killarney on his most recent start. 

Lowther said: “My trainer Daragh Bourke had watched a few of his races in Ireland and he’d come recommended from a couple of guys over there too. I’ll look for a juvenile hurdle for him - we’ll maybe aim him for Wetherby in October although he looks very well handicapped on the flat as well I must admit.”

Thats Jet is out of the winning Oasis Dream mare Floating Along, a half-sister to Prix Maurice de Gheest winner King's Apostle and granddaughter of Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Embassy.

The winning and Listed-placed hurdler Sultan Pierji, an Ectot gelding consigned by Hugo Merienne's stables, was bought back at 150,000gns. 

Overall, 47 lots sold for turnover of 377,700gns and at an average of 8,036gns.
