Tattersall? Autumn Horses In Training Sale concluded in Newmarket yesterday evening with the three-year-old gelding The Grey Berry (GB) (Observatory), who topped the closing day with a 340,000gns final bid. Purchased by agent Aiden Murphy as a jumping prospect, Lot 1351 had been secured by his trainer Tim Walford privately for just 9,250gns 12 months ago. “Heís for an existing owner with Philip Hobbs,” said Murphy after outbidding agent Anthony Stroud, who had been shopping for the Dubai Carnival at the sale. “Weíve been looking all week and this was the first one that we really wanted to go for. Heís a good-looking horse that vetted well and could improve further.”
