said Matt Mitchell, Brightwells Head of Bloodstock
Mitchell added: "We appreciate the significance of staging a
sale at this world famous event and are honoured to be given such an
opportunity.
"This select Festival sale will focus on selling future
champions and will give an audience of established and potential new owners an
opportunity to fulfil their dream."
Simon Claisse, Regional Head of Racing for the South West Region
of The Jockey Club, commented: "We have worked for many years with
Brightwells on producing top quality National Hunt sales after racing during
many of our meetings across the season.
"I am therefore really pleased that these sales will now be
extended to include a sale during The Festival, where a selection of elite
horses will be available for purchase and where all of the top owners,
agents and trainers will be present, hoping to buy future champions."
The sale will take place in the auction room marquee, a double
fronted hi-lux chalet situated opposite the unsaddling enclosure and the horses
will be paraded while being sold in that enclosure.
