The Cloudy Dancer (GB) Flash Sale on Fasig-Tipton's Digital platform ended Friday afternoon with a bang as a bidding war stopped the clock at 2:04 pm with the mare sold for $430,000 to David Hutson.
On June 20 of this year, Cloudy Dancer (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) 's second foal–Shareholder (Not This Time)–captured the G2 Norfolk Stakes for 2-year-olds at prestigious Royal Ascot to remain undefeated. His victory was the third fastest time in the last 40 years of the race's history.
Cloudy Dancer's connections opted to offer her on Fasig-Tipton Digital, and just five days after Shareholder won the Norfolk, bidding opened for the 8-year-old daughter of Invincible Spirit (Ire) in a one-horse “flash sale.” Drawing 2,432 viewers over the next four days, the young broodmare found a new home with Hutson.
Cloudy Dancer was consigned by Brendan and Olive Gallagher's Frankfort Park Farm, agent for Skyfall Thoroughbreds LLC.
“This sale is a perfect example of what Fasig-Tipton Digital is about,” said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's Director of Digital Sales. “The mare's owners saw an opportunity to capitalize on her increase in value based on Shareholder's performance at Royal Ascot. We owe a huge thanks to all the participants.”
