Jennifer Eccles' Auction Now Live

The much-anticipated auction of Group 1 winner Jennifer Eccles has launched on plus.gavelhouse.com. Bidding will run through on the Gr1 New Zealand Oaks and multiple Group 2 winner until 7pm (NZ) on Friday 23 July. Free of Danehill, Jennifer Eccles is by Galileo’s son Rip Van Winkle, also sire of topliners Te Akau Shark and Subpoenaed. Her dam Platinum Elle is stakes-placed and is in turn out of Group 3 performer Lady Tee, a daughter of Zabeel. Syndicate manager Adrian Clark has revealed that Jennifer Eccles is suitable to race on, with a comprehensive veterinary work up completed recently. “There has been widespread interest in Jennifer Eccles and rightly so, how often do you get the chance to buy a NZB Filly of the Year – they are nearly always tightly held by breeders,” Clark said. “The prospect of offering Jennifer Eccles via the Gavelhouse Plus online platform was always an attractive option for me… it felt like the ‘right fit’ as Jennifer was purchased at the New Zealand Bloodstock Weanling Sale, she went on to win their coveted NZB Filly of the Year title and now she’s being offered through New Zealand Bloodstock’s online platform, gavelhouse.com.”
