The cloud dancer The Flash Sale ended on the afternoon of June 28th in a big way as the bidding war stopped the clock at 2:04pm with the mare selling for $430,000 to David Hutson.
On June 20, Cloudy Dancer’s second foal—Shareholder (Not this time )—won the Norfolk Stakes (G2) for 2-year-olds at the prestigious Royal Ascot to remain undefeated. His victory was the third fastest in the race’s 40-year history.
Cloudy Dancer’s connections chose to place her in Fasig-Tipton Digital, and just five days after Shareholder’s win at Norfolk, bidding opened for the 8-year-old daughter of Invincible spirit In a flash sale that featured just one horse, the young mare found a new home with Hutson for a final price of $430,000, attracting 2,432 viewers over the next four days.
Cloudy Dancer was consigned by Brendan and Olive Gallagher’s Frankfort Park Farm, agents for Skyfall Thoroughbreds.
“This sale is a perfect example of Fasig-Tipton Digital,” said Leif Aaron, director of digital sales at Fasig-Tipton. “The mare’s owners saw an opportunity to capitalize on the increase in her value based on Shareholder’s performance at Royal Ascot. We are extremely grateful to everyone involved.”
The digital platform’s next sale is the July Digital Sale, which will be held from July 18 to 23. Nominations close on July 10. Contact Leif Aaron at [email protected] or log in fasigtipton.co/clientportal to nominate.
