Polo-playing bloodstock agent Charles Gordon-Watson is heading for a High Court showdown with auctioneers Tattersalls, who accuse him of failing to pay £2.7million for horses he has bought.
Mr Gordon-Watson, who is joint-master of the Cottesmore hunt, was the highest bidder for three mares, thought to be in-foal, at Tattersalls’ Newmarket sale last December, according to a High Court writ. The mares were knocked down to him on behalf of his client Michael Baker for £2,751,262.50, the writ says.
