DANCING King, sold by Mark Johnston for the Kingsley Park 16 syndicate, was bought by Stuart Boman of Blandford Bloodstock for 380,000gns. The three-year-old gelding is by Free Eagle and was purchased as a yearling for 18,000gns at the October Book 3 Sale in 2019.

“He is going abroad for an established client of Blandford,” said Boman. “He is a lovely horse, a last time Group 3 winner, and he is an outstanding horse to look at, I have seen him three times. I have to congratulate Mark Johnson for finding a horse of his quality as a yearling as cheaply as he did. The horse is called Dancing King and he has danced every dance; he showed up every time and he always puts it in.”
