Corduff Keeps It In The Family... A little more than a year ago, Blandford Bloodstock spent 215,000gns on behalf of James Egan=s Corduff Stud to secure a colt by Invincible Spirit (Ire) out of Brusca (Grindstone) at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale.

Jathiere Seals The Deal... Near the end of what will likely go down as one of the latest-finishing sessions in the history of Thoroughbred sales, Alain Jathiere performed a theatrical bidding act to secure Landskia (Fr) (Lando {Ger}) (lot 544) from the draft of Coulonces Consignment. Auctioneer Jerome Charpentier took an opening big of i5,000, but Jathiere, who was seated in the restaurant with a group of friends, retorted by offering i50,000. Only three more bids and hardly thirty seconds were required to achieve the final price of i120,000. Under a round of applause from his table, the owner explained, AI was determined to buy this mare for a certain price, so I thought I=d move fast and kill the opposition. I happen to be an art dealer, so I know a thing or two about auction sales.@ Landskia was listed-placed and she hails from a solid Wertheimer family that includes the black-type winners Indianski (Ire), Trumbaka (Ire) and Russian Blue (Ire).
