Algol concludes Doncaster November on a high note

Doncaster Bloodstock Sales Company signed off for the year on a high note

Tuesday when Kern Lillingston Associates paid 100,000 guineas for the juvenile

ALGOL (Kyllachy). A sharp winner in a competitive York nursery last time out in

early October, Algol owns a 7-3-1-2 mark. He was consigned by White Lea Stables

and Graham Wylie's Transcend Bloodstock as Hip No. 271.

DBS Managing Director Henry Beeby reflected on the company's best-ever year

of trading. "It was most appropriate to finish on a high note today, as 2006 has

proved to be the best year in DBS' 44-year history with a record turnover of

37,001,040 guineas, which rose by 20 percent and a record average of 13,061

guineas, which was up 11 percent," he said. "Our three flagship sales all

returned record figures. The St Leger Yearling Sales is surely the success story

of the bloodstock world and rose again for the ninth consecutive year -- the

only major European Yearling Sales with this to its credit.

"These are exciting times for DBS," Beeby continued. "We are regularly

returning premium prices for a whole range of horses and our graduates are

consistently winning at the highest level."
