    Big win for GWR on home territory but outsiders fight all the way

    Dec 17, 2019 3 minutes

    WITH the red-hot favourite supported by four stablemates in the field of nine on its home territory, the GWR unsurprisingly featured strongly in the upper echelons of GW Railwayana’s November 16 auction at Pershore. It didn’t, however, have everything its own way – in fact, far from it.

    from No. 7007 passed the post first at £26,000, a fair result in today’s nameplate market, but its lead wasn’t as many lengths as some may have expected, for behind, with from LNER No. 61668, the last B17 to be withdrawn. It was the second ‘Footballer’plate to go under the hammer in two months, following from No. 61663, which fetched £25,000 at Great Central’s Stoneleigh auction in September.
