Racing Update: His race entries and declarations will show on this page.

Lot 84, by EXCELBRATION, is knocked down to @Doyle_Racing for £60,000 on behalf of @MprUpdates @tatts_ireland September Yearling Sale.

Consigned by @BarodaStudIre, he is a half-brother to Listed winner and Gr.2-placed TIME SHANAKILL pic.twitter.com/k2G1QPcurW

By the sire of three time Group 1 winner BARNEY ROY, out of a mare who has already produced the Listed and 10-time winner TIME SHANAKILL (Lord Shanakill) and Listed 2nd Va Tutto Bene (Hallowed Crown) hopefully he can have a career reminiscent of our Mark Johnston trained, Group 1 placed, Group 3 and Listed winner Marie’s Diamond.

Watch a video of him from our Owner's Morning in March:

“This is a lovely sort and probably goes to Mark Johnston. We were probably running on fumes bidding-wise," smiled Tim Palin, director of Middleham Park. pic.twitter.com/H0zkRxtxgH
