All mares consigned by Yorton and James and Jean Potter will be sold with a free cover to Arrigo, Ito or Pether’s Moon for the 2024 season.

James Richardson, CEO of ThoroughBid, said: “We’re delighted to have both quality and quantity for the October Sale. To have been entrusted with a large consignment of quality mares from Yorton Farm Stud is a great compliment.

"The mixture of breeding stock, youngstock and smart horses in training from top trainers in both Britain and Ireland should attract plenty of attention to the catalogue, and we’re hoping for a competitive bidding period come next Friday.

"Mt Leinster is a particular highlight of the horses-in-training going under our online hammer. It’s great to have another top performer from the Mullins yard, having sold Hubrisko well last month."
