In June 2004 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art and Dogs, which included the work Mina of Crossrig (41866), a heavy horse by Fred Thurlby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,912.00 (€ 2,845.63), 27% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Fred Thurlby have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Stout, winner of 12 first and 8 second prizes at various shows; and Madam, winner of first prize at Viscount Tredegar's Show 1908 in June 2003 with an auction result of GBP 8,225.00 (€ 11,819.77).
