$130,000 Jacquinot Colt Delivers a Pinhooking Win

Tara Madgwick - Friday Mar 20

Widden Stud young gun Jacquinot had a great result during the first session of the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale when a colt from Behaviourism sold for $130,000 to astute purchasers John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA)/Merrick Staunton acting for HK based clients.

$130,000 Jacquinot colt from Behaviourism.

Consigned by Caithness Breeding, the handsome chestnut is the third foal of Behaviourism, an unraced half-sister by Kermadec to Group II winner Obsequious, the dam of Group II winner Ingratiating, who was also placed in a Group I ATC Golden Slipper and MRC Blue Diamond Stakes.

The colt proved a supers successful pinhook for astute young horse woman Gabby Dingwall, the daughter of Sean and Cathy Dingwall of Blue Gum Farm.

He was a diamond in the rough on Inglis Digital.

She purchased the colt with her father through Inglis Digital in May last year for $7,500 and was thrilled to see him bought by great judges at good price.

 
 
 
 

Gabby Dingwall revealed the colt’s reserve at this sale was just $40,000, so the sale exceed all expectation!
