Andrew Balding's Marchogion is set to headline the Tattersalls Online September Sale following his easy victory in a Chester handicap at the end of last month.
A three-time winner over six furlongs for Balding and owners Opulence Thoroughbreds, the son of Mehmas defied a BHA rating of 90 when gaining his latest success on the Roodee, powering clear in the final furlong to land the spoils by over three lengths. Following that win he is now up to a career-high mark of 97.
Bred by Rockcliffe Stud, the three-year-old Marchogion is one of three winners from as many runners out of the Pivotal mare Raincall who, in turn, is out of the G1 Goodwood winner Lone Rock (Fastnet Rock). He first sold for 55,000gns at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, before being bought by JS Bloodstock and Opulence Thoroughbreds for 160,000gns when returning to Park Paddocks for the Guineas Breeze-up Sale.
Entries for the Tattersalls Online September Sale are scheduled to close at 5pm on Friday, September 5, before the main catalogue is published on Wednesday, September 10. Wildcard entries will be accepted until 5pm the following day for the sale which takes place on September 16-17.
