LEADING owner Clive Washbourn is known for his hilarious post-race antics on the track. <\/p>\n

His enthusiasm is infectious and the sales ring at Tattersalls got a taste of it on Monday. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Washbourn was at the December Yearling Sale with trainer David Menuisier, who trains most of his horses. <\/p>\n

The owner had a Pinatubo colt out of Narak offered by Eddie O\u2019Leary\u2019s Lynn Lodge Stud in his sights and was in no mood to give him up. <\/p>\n

Top trainer Richard Hannon had bid 170,000gns, but his spirit was quickly broken when Washbourn jumped out of his seat and loudly proclaimed: "Two hundred! Show us your money." <\/p>\n

That was quickly followed by a shout of "get in there!" as the hammer went down, which was met by hearty cheers from those in the gangway. <\/p>\n

Washbourn told Racing Post: "He is the greatest colt in the sale, this sale is amazing value for money because quite often you get Book 1 rejects.<\/p>\n

"These Pinatubos look like middleweight fighters – this thing will be smashing Coolmore up the Ascot straight!" <\/p>\n

It was anxious moments for Washbourn, however, who almost didn't get the apple of his eye. <\/p>\n

He added: "I thought I might not be able to get him because Laura, my lovely girlfriend, was supposed to keep me under control and I lost the plot and bought a Mohaather out of the ether [for 50,000gns] earlier on. <\/p>\n

"For us, this colt is a four-star rating. He\u2019s as near to Thundering Blue as we\u2019ve ever had. I sent David [Menuisier] up here and he called me to say, \u2018God this colt is beautiful\u2019, so that was it.<\/p>\n

"If anyone is going to train this colt to be a Group 1 winner it\u2019s David. I love him – he\u2019s grumpy and probably not user friendly but he\u2019s a real horseman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Washbourn is best known for his wild celebrations on track, including when his Caius Chorister won in France last month. <\/p>\n

He reckons she'll take all the beating in the Gold Cup and issued a warning to King Charles, who will present the trophy next year.<\/p>\n

He said: "This horse next year will take all the beating in the Ascot Gold Cup. And The King has to put up with my celebrations!"<\/p>\n
