European group one performer Torcedor has been sold to German interests.
"In the last few days we sold Torcedor, we received an enormous offer for a six-year-old gelding," Te Akau principal David Ellis said. "He has been sold and the deal has been completed.
"We wish the new owners well with him. They are a consortium syndicate based in Germany. I'd say they would look at the Melbourne Cup for sure."
