ELCOME to
the second of
our 2015
yearling sales
guides,
covering everything you need
to know about the upcoming
Tattersalls Ireland, Goffs and
Tattersalls auctions. In the
following pages you will find
consignor and buyer features
nestled among sales news and
statistics, including the
all-important pinhooking
tables.
Fairyhouse serves as a fine
starting point for the autumn
sales trail and Tattersalls
Ireland has again put together
a catalogue that looks sure to
offer buyers value for money.
After a short breather the
show rolls on to Goffs, where a
large selection of blue-chip
yearlings boasts among its
number six by the mighty
Frankel, whose first crop are
also represented by 18 lots at
Book 1 of the Tattersalls
October Yearling Sale.
However, dual world
champion Frankel is the new
kid on the block this season – a
role also filled by Guy
O’Callaghan’s Grangemore
Stud, which in a short period
has risen up the vendor ranks
and enjoyed a red-letter sale at
DBS last month.
More seasoned operators
Mark Weinfeld of Meon Valley
Stud, Philipp Stauffenberg and
Mountarmstrong Stud
manager Robert Tierney also
discuss their drafts, while Sam
Hoskins and Luke Lillingston
reflect on a stellar season for
Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds,
including Magical Memory’s
valuable victory in the
Stewards’ Cup.

Philipp Stauffenberg
Good racehorses can come
from anywhere and living in
the fickle world in which we
do, unfashionable can often
mean value. That said, many
of the trainers I buy for are
buying ‘on spec’. These
horses then have to be sold
on to clients. If the client
doesn’t like a sire or isn’t
familiar with him, it puts
you on the back foot from
the get-go. Rightly or
wrongly, it’s far easier to sell
an ugly duckling by a
fashionable sire than trying
to sell a beautiful specimen
who is by a perceived dud!
Yes, because nobody can see
inside their heart or their
mind. The yearling must
look like an athlete and have
a good attitude.
Yes, absolutely. Amanda
Skiffington bought me three
at Tattersalls Ireland last
year – Galileo Gold,
Hawksmoor, and They Seek
Him Here. Being by Paco
Boy, Azamour and Elusive
Pimpernel, they aren’t at
the peak of fashion.
Azamour is dead but the
other two will only get more
fashionable if my two horses
are anything to go by. I think
W
value can be found if you
look for the progeny of
stallions who aren’t yet
fashionable.
If a horse pulls out and
stands over at the knee the
only reason I don’t put them
straight back in the box is
out of politeness to the
vendor. To me it screams of a
horse being slow and
unathletic. I don’t mind a
horse being back at the
knee, as long as it isn’t too
pronounced. With it being a
renowned trait of Danehill,
we see plenty of it here in
Europe through his sons and
daughters. They’re often
good-actioned horses who
go well on fast ground.
No, not for breezing as
they don’t improve. They
may be good racehorses in
the long-term but won’t
improve physically within
six months before the
breeze-up sales.
I’m prepared to forgive
all faults in moderation
provided the horse is athletic
and moves through those
faults.
This is price-dependent.
I try to look at the majority
of horses in a sale as I have a
wide variety of clients and I
have to try to cut my cloth to
fit their needs. Pedigrees are
forever changing and I
wouldn’t let an absence of
black type under the first
two dams stop me buying a
horse if I saw other angles I
liked.
Yes. If they look like an
athlete they may be able to
run. If you can hit on a
stallion at the beginning of
his career – when a lot of
their progeny won’t be all
bred in the purple – it can be
very successful. I bought
Fleeting Spirit from
Invincible Spirit’s second
crop for very small money
and she was a superstar
from the beginning. She was
European champion sprinter
and won almost £700,000 in
prize-money.
Yes. Pedigrees are
movable feasts. Galileo Gold
fell into this category and
his dam’s half-brother
Goldream is now a Group 1
winner. In the case of a
young family like this you
can take a chance if you like
the individual. I might be
put off if both dams had a
dozen foals without a good
one though.
I’d want to know the
background of a vendor but
yes, if everything added up,
I would buy from an
unfamiliar vendor.
Yes. I don’t care where
the horse comes from. Last
year I bought First Selection
at a Spanish sale and he won
the Solario Stakes last
month, his fourth win as a
two-year-old.
Of course. We’re trying
to buy racehorses, not
fashion labels. That said,
there are some famous
nurseries that consistently
produce good stock with
excellent bone and who are
beautifully prepared for
sale.
Definitely. The horse
may have a low pinhook

Buyers’ Q& A

Our expert panel (top to

consignor Con Marnane
and trainer Hugo Palmer
price due to the fact they
were badly done as a foal
and have since been in the
care of a good horseman and
on good land. There may
also have been a pedigree
update since the yearling
was bought as a foal.
CM Yes. We buy for
ourselves, so value for
money is always a big
consideration. The cheaper
they come the better I like
it, provided we like the
horse.
HP I’m often put off by a
high pinhook price. If
someone’s paid more than
my budget a year ago I get a
bit disheartened by my
chances. Horses can improve
so much in a year that I’d
never be put off if they were
very cheap then if I loved
them now – Short Squeeze
has been a star for us, I paid
30,000gns for him and he
cost his vendor a mere
€6,000.
Plus, what’s the one
thing you would never
forgive in an
individual?
AE Temperament. Horses
are extremely resilient and
they are forever overcoming
their lack of pedigree and
conformational faults.
However, the one thing I
can’t stomach is a horse with
no mind. Rather like
mercurial sports stars, they
will let you down time and
time again. I’m also loath to
buy a horse who’s light of
bone. I always feel if you
buy one you’re asking for
trouble before you start.
They must have enough
bone underneath them to
support their body mass.
CM There’s not much I
wouldn’t forgive provided
the horse looks like an
athlete with a good attitude.
We bought Listed winner
Robin Of Navan for €10,000.
He had a fractured tooth at
the yearling sale and our
dentist John Halligan
extracted it and sorted out
all the infection and the
horse has never looked
back.
HP I struggle to like horses
who aren’t athletic or who
look to me like they’ll be
hard to keep sound – the
only winners then are the
vets!

TH only yearling in the catalogue
by retired Banstead Manor resident
amindar is offered by Danesrath
Stud as lot 315.
amindar, winner of the Prix de
Cabourg for trainer Andre Fabre
carrying the famed Juddmonte
colours, is best known as the sire
of Arc heroine arkava and
three-time Group 1 winner Darjina.
This month’s offering out of
Never Fade at Fairyhouse was a
12,000gns buy at Tattersalls and
the stud’s Jonathan Hillman said:
“He’s a big, fine colt and a good
walker. We’ve been very happy
with him since we bought him and
he’s been very straightforward.”
D
BARODA and Colbinstown Studs
return to the September Sale with
a Dream Ahead half-brother
(below, lot 68) to last year’s
second-top lot, Caribbean Spring.
The son of Dark Angel, bought
by Bobby O’Ryan and Dermot
Weld for 110,000, is out of
Bogini, a daughter of Holy Roman
mperor from the family of Dandy
Man and Anthem Alexander.
This year the young operation is
hoping Caribbean Spring’s
half-brother will attract plenty of
interest at Fairyhouse. Colbinstown
Stud’s Dave Myerscough says:
“Dream Ahead is off to a flyer and
he has a very exciting horse in
Jessica Harrington’s Final Frontier.
“Hopefully people will latch on
to that and the colt will sell well.”

COOLMORE sire Fastnet Rock and the
late Azamour are two sires who have
been well represented on course by
Oaks-winning daughters this season,
and both have just one filly on offer at
Fairyhouse this month.
Australian shuttler Fastnet Rock
sired a first European Classic winner in
2015 when Qualify landed a shock
Epsom victory, a result followed up
within the month when
Diamondsandrubies scored in the
Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes.
Castletown Stud in County Cork will
offer a May-born filly by the sire bred
on the same Sadler’s Wells cross as

PETHER’S MOON epitomises the Tattersalls Ireland yearling. A
relative bargain at €52,000 when snapped up by Peter and Ross Doyle
in 2011, he has proven tough and reliable across four seasons for
owner John Manley – and added a first Group 1 to his CV in this year’s
Coronation Cup.
Last year the sale was represented by Group 1 Prix Morny winner
The Wow Signal and has again lined up a selection of sharp-looking
two-year-old types mixed with later developers, including numerous
lots by two-year-old king Kodiac and young guns Zebedee and Zoffany,
to a daughter of High Chaparral and a pair of Sea The Stars colts.
The Wow Signal and fellow Group 1-winning graduate Lethal Force
were plucked from the first crop offered by their sires and there is no
shortage of recent additions to the stallion ranks represented at
Fairyhouse, including 19 (plus another seven in Part II) by Sir
Prancealot, and six lots (two more in Part II) by Classic winner Power.
The catalogue is a weighty one – with 471 lots set for the main event
and a further 235 catalogued for Part II – but year after year it pays
dividends to those who take time to analyse its contents thoroughly.

Coolmore’s Curragh queen (lot 309)
and the stud’s Joe Hernon is pleased
with her progress.
“She’s taking her prep fantastically,”
he says. “She’s very eyecatching, a
beauty, by a sire who’s doing very
well this year, particularly with his
fillies.”
A half-sister to three winners, the
filly is out of Listed runner-up Mystic
Mile from the family of high-class
sprinter and sire College Chapel.
The loss of Gilltown Stud resident
Azamour has been keenly felt this
season following the Irish Oaks
victory of Covert Love – narrowly
denied a top level follow-up in the
Yorkshire Oaks last month – whose
trainer Hugo Palmer also sent out the
sire’s Prestige Stakes winner
Hawksmoor.
A sole filly from the penultimate crop
by the sire, lot 180 (right), can be
found in the Ballybin Stud draft.
“We’re very happy with her,” says
the stud’s Paddy Kelly. “She’s been
with us about three months now and is
very easy to do. She’s a nice, correct
filly.”
A second foal, she is out of the
winning Green Desert mare Frivolous
– whose dam Sweet Folly is a
ter
Group 3-winning half-sister to
Coronation Stakes winner Kissing
Cousin.

PART II
PART II of the September Sale
returns for its second year and
Tattersalls Ireland marketing
director Simon Kerins says the
company was pleased with the
inaugural results.
“It was excellent,” says
Kerins. “There was a 79 per
cent clearance rate, buyers
from 15 countries, and a top
lot of €56,000 – the people
who sold her bought her for
€1,000, so we were thrilled.”
The sale – a one-day session
directly after the main event
– replaced the November
yearling sale, a move that
appears to have been
welcomed by all.
“People didn’t really want to
wait until November, and the
September sale is a good shop
window,” says Kerins. “It’s a
perfect opportunity for horses
who don’t meet the
requirements of the first part
– there’s certainly a market for
them, as proved last year, plus
all the yearlings are eligible for
our sales race on Irish
Champions Weekend.”

The Australian thoroughbred is famously fast: here’s a quick guide to two of the finest...
SEPOY Rated the world’s best three-year-old sprinter
since Oasis Dream. Stunning Champion at two: one
of the easiest winners of the Slipper ever. First yearlings

the calibre of
Birchwood
to have
represented
him on the track this year,
Guy O’Callaghan has enjoyed a
memorable time of things since
he first began consigning
horses under his Grangemore
Stud banner less than a year
ago.
As the breeder of this
season’s crack Superlative
Stakes winner, O’Callaghan
has continued his family’s rich
and notable contribution to the
bloodstock industry. His father
Gay is a famed breeder and
pinhooker and stands leading
sire Dark Angel, eldest brother
Peter runs the noted American
operation Woods Edge Farm,
while another brother, David,
bred last month’s Nunthorpe
Stakes heroine Mecca’s Angel.
Last autumn O’Callaghan,
29, first struck out on his own
when consigning at the 2014
edition of the Tattersalls
Ireland September Yearling
Sale. His three initial offerings
were headed by decent
juvenile and Chelmsford track
record-holder Field Of Vision.
This year O’Callaghan
returns to Tattersalls Ireland
with a team of four colts made
up of sons of Dragon Pulse,
Lilbourne Lad,
Mastercraftsman and US sire
Spring At Last.
“They’re a good, solid bunch
and hopefully they’ll be
popular,” says O’Callaghan.
Of the quartet the Spring At
Last colt (lot 350), a
Keeneland January graduate,
is perhaps the most interesting.
The sire is not that well known
in these parts but has made an
impact in his native America.

Birchwood (right) proves too good in the Superlative Stakes
vvFrom page 7
plenty of good, fast
two-year-old types in America
where he has sired plenty of
stakes winners,” says
O’Callaghan. “This horse came
from Keeneland and he looks a
nice two-year-old type with a
bit of scope too.”
Pride of place from last
year’s initial yearling offering
at Grangemore belongs to
Richard Fahey’s classy
two-year-old Birchwood, who
leapt to the front rank of his
generation when winning in
Group 2 company at
Newmarket’s July festival.
This continued
Grangemore’s rich tradition of
producing high-calibre Flat
runners. Previous
representatives to have been
bred and raised on the Kildare
nursery include Aidan
O’Brien’s St Leger hero
Scorpion.
B
IRCHWOOD is the
first produce of
O’Callaghan’s Exceed
And Excel mare
Layla Jamil, who was
picked up out of a claimer
several years ago. Events of the
last 12 months mean the
mare’s career could not have
started on a better note.
“I sold Birchwood at Book 2
of the Tattersalls October
Sale,” he says. “He was bought
by Emma Armstrong for
77,000gns and obviously
things couldn’t have gone any
better since then.
“It’s fantastic to have sold a
horse of his class in my first
year. Horses like him are what
we’re all dreaming about
producing. It’s what everybody
aspires to and it’s been a great
thrill watching him all season.”
Birchwood’s exploits meant
O’Callaghan’s first
consignment at last month’s
Doncaster Premier Yearling
Sales contained one of the
stars of the first yearling
auction of the year in Britain.
The colt in question was a
Dark Angel brother to
Birchwood, and he was
understandably in some
demand given his elder
sibling’s exploits. The hammer
eventually came down in
favour of John Ferguson at
£270,000, which made him the
second-highest priced lot at
this year’s sale.
“It was wonderful to sell one
so well,” says O’Callaghan.
“Obviously he had the big
update, which was a major
help, but he was also a physical
specimen who matched up to
his page and it’s just very hard
to match up both in a yearling.
“He’d done very well
throughout the year and I felt I
was sitting on a very nice
horse. Happily everything
went well with him when he
got to Doncaster and hopefully
he can go on to emulate his
brother.”
The initial indications from
this year’s yearling market
have been quite positive and
O’Callaghan believes the
current trend should continue
over the course of the next
month, which represents the
pivotal period for all major
yearling operations.
“If you have the goods you’re
going to be very popular,” says
O’Callaghan. “The top end of
things has been very strong
and if you qualify for that level
you’ll be well paid. Over the
last couple of years we’ve seen
a lot of growth at the top of the
yearling market.”
In all it has been a
memorable 12 months for
O’Callaghan. On the track and
in the sales ring his
Grangemore Stud operation
has quickly emerged as a
consignor of some renown, and
with 15 yearlings due to come
under the hammer at the
various major yearling sales in
the coming weeks, he could
have plenty more to look
forward to over the course of
the autumn.

Frankel – and father – set to
fight it out for the limelight
IT IS not all about Frankel.
That is not an easy idea to
digest when a horse who
many hail as the greatest
ever seen is about to be
represented by his first
yearlings offered in Ireland,
but when it comes to the
breeding shed the son of
Galileo is back to square
one.
His sire, on the other
hand, is responsible for 14
regally bred lots on offer at
a sale that in recent years
has been streamlined to
ensure quality prevails over
quantity, with much
success.
Despite his record,
however, the Coolmore
colossus is still likely to be
fighting Frankel for the
limelight. Buyers have been
largely keen to snap up the
few of his progeny to be
offered – including the
€1.8 million filly out of dual
Classic winner Finsceal Beo
who smashed the record for
a foal at Goffs when selling
to Dermot Farrington.
But for those without a
seven-figure bank balance,
solace can be sought in the
case of this year’s Irish Oaks
winner Covert Love, who
was available for a
five-figure sum in 2013.
Diamonds are there to be
found – it is for the buyers to
uncover their sparkle.

B
GALIL O filly Nightime found
fame as the first Classic winner by
her sire although many have
followed, including this year’s
dual Guineas and St James’s Palace
Stakes hero Gleneagles.
A brother to the Irish 1,000
Guineas winner (below, lot 84) is
one of the 32-strong Castlebridge
Consignment and the operation’s
Bill Dwan is keen on the
February-born offering.
“As is generally the case with
Galileo yearlings, this colt has a
great temperament,” says Dwan.
“Since his arrival he’s taken
everything in his stride, he enjoys
the daily routine of walking and
lunging, and as we’ve increased
his workload he’s handled it
effortlessly.
“He also has a wonderful
appetite and cleans his feed pot
as a result he hasn’t missed a
day’s exercise.
“In addition to being mentally
very good this colt has the most
athletic walk, which should catch
the eye of potential buyers and
obviously being a brother to an
Irish 1,000 Guineas winner, he
won’t be short of admirers at
Goffs.”
OMANSTOWN STUD has been
enjoying a typically good season
both on course and in the ring.
One lot from its 14-strong draft
at the Orby Sale who
particularly catches the eye is
lot 227, a Dark Angel sister to
Group 1 runner-up Sovereign
Debt.
The family received a notable
vote of confidence when a Dark
Angel colt out of Golden Rosie, an
xceed And xcel half-sister to the
dual Listed winner, was knocked
down to John Ferguson for
240,000 at the DBS Premier Sales
the auction’s fourth-highest
price.
That sum could prove value for
money given Sovereign Debt is still
going strong at the age of six and
holds an entry in the Group 3
Coolmore Stud Home of
Champions Concorde Stakes five
days after his sister goes under the
hammer.
Lot 133, a half-brother to leading juvenile US Law (left), and lot 381, a filly out of Listed winner Rose Bonheur
All eyes on Frankel’s super sextet
THE six Frankel yearlings set for Goffs
represent just 1.2 per cent of the Orby
catalogue – but you can bet your bottom
dollar they will command far more than
that share of the headlines.
Among the half-dozen are a Rathbarry
Stud-consigned colt out of Musical Treat
(lot 303) – the dam of Finsceal Beo,
whose Frankel filly smashed the record
for a foal at Goffs when fetching
€1.8 million in November – and a filly
out of star racemare Alexander Goldrun
(23) from Mountarmstrong Stud, which
features on pages 14-16.
Camas Park Stud will offer a filly out
of Listed winner Rose Bonheur (381),
while Ballylinch Stud offers a
half-brother to crack juvenile US Law
out of Dookus (133), a daughter of top
two-year-old Pharaoh’s Delight and
closely related to Breeders’ Cup winner
Red Rocks, by Frankel’s sire Galileo.
Just a few lots later the Castlebridge
Consignment will offer a Frankel colt
from the stellar family of Park Express
and her son New Approach (138), with
the select group completed by lot 186,
SPORTSMAN’S SALE
SINCE its reintroduction in 2012 the
Goffs Sportsman’s Sale has grown
steadily in size and turnover, and while
last year’s average and median fell year
on year, the 82 per cent clearance rate
showed the day is a true marketplace.
Goffs has catalogued 244 lots for the
fourth year of the sale, a number
markedly down on the 296 catalogued 12
months ago to ensure a more
concentrated period of selling within the
day – although the company reports
demand for the sale remains strong.
Last year’s auction was topped by a
€90,000 daughter of Motivator knocked
down to Eddie Lynam, and while her sire
is not represented among the lots this
year, buyers will not be short of choice
with a total of 74 stallions listed in the
index.
Frankel demolishing his Queen Anne rivals in his racecourse pomp
a Frankel granddaughter of
champion filly Imagine, consigned by
Barronstown Stud.
Expectations will be sky-high as these
youngsters take their first steps into the
limelight, but it will still be some time
yet until we know whether Frankel is as
potent at stud as he was dominating on
course. Much pedigree theory would
suggest his offspring are unlikely to
better, or even equal, their sire’s
achievements – but so great was his
record and contribution to the sport,
any who accomplish even half as much
will be a racehorse of the highest
calibre.
Darley resident Casamento, whose first
foals f lew off the shelves last year,
including at Goffs – where 36 of 41
offered sold for a high of €210,000,
average of €38,000 and aggregate of
€1,368,000 – is the most prolific sire with
11 yearlings catalogued. Other first-crop
sires on offer include Power, the sire of a
half-sister to top producer Swiss Lake
(lot 522), Bated Breath, represented by a
colt out of Ribblesdale Stakes winner
Spanish Sun (711) among his four lots,
and Famous Name, sire of a filly closely
related to dual champion mare Pipalong
(701).
It is not only new boys on offer,
however. Cape Cross, sire of three Epsom
Classic winners including 2015 Derby
hero Golden Horn, is represented by a
colt and a filly apiece, the latter hailing
from the family of another Classic winner
in Cockney Rebel (629), while the
ever-reliable Acclamation and Kodiac are
sure to prove popular as always.
Rathbarry Stud stalwart Acclamation has
three fillies catalogued, including a
granddaughter of Prix de l’Opera winner
Satwa Queen (676), and Kodiac’s nine
lots include a close relation to Cheveley
Park Stakes scorer Rosdhu Queen (643),
a daughter of the sire’s half-brother
Invincible Spirit.
There are also those in between and on
the ascent, such as leading first-season
sires Zoffany and Canford Cliffs. The
latter’s draft includes a colt out of Cape
Fillies’ Guineas scorer Igreja (598).
Like the duo, the Sportsman’s Sale is
still making its name – but with Group
winners including Agnes Stewart and
Final Frontier, while it may be held in the
Orby’s shadow, its graduates can still
shine as brightly as their more expensive
counterparts.

Fireworks set for
Approach sister
DAWN APPROACH (below ) will be
represented by his first yearlings
this time next year, but for those
who cannot wait for the next
generation a sister to the 2,000
Guineas and Royal Ascot winner is
on offer from Jim Bolger’s
Redmondstown Stud (
).
A daughter of New Approach,
she is out of the Phone Trick mare
Hymn Of The Dawn, whose son
Herald The Dawn also by
Darley’s young gun became her
second Group winner from six
runners when landing the Futurity
Stakes last month and came
second in the National Stakes.
The last time a sister to Dawn
Approach went under the hammer
was at the 2012 Orby Sale
when Prudent Approach
lit up the ring after
selling to Peter and Ross
Doyle for 775,000.
Hailing from a
Jim Bolger-honed
family with a
pedigree gaining
ever-more
black type,
three years
on there could
be more family
fireworks.
DRAGON PULSE is one of 22 sires
represented by their first-crop yearlings
at this year’s Orby Sale, and while the
dual Group winner’s breeder
Owenstown Stud may not be offering
any of its yearlings by the sire, it could
have an equally sought-after commodity
– an Invincible Spirit half-brother to the
Irish National Stud resident himself.
Offered as lot 344 on day two, the
April-born colt is the fifth foal out of the
Croco Rouge mare Poetical.
“It’s so far, so good,” says
Owenstown’s John Tuthill. “He’s taken
to his prep very well and I like the way
he’s going, I’m very happy.
“He’s not a clone of Dragon Pulse, he’s
a bit different, but I like him a lot.”
The County Kildare operation will
offer four Dragon Pulse yearlings over
the coming weeks, including at the
Goffs Sportsman’s Sale following the
Orby.
“We have a Dragon Pulse filly for
Goffs (547),” says Tuthill. “She’s a
good-walking filly, she’s nice.
“I’m very pleased with the Dragon
Pulses. As a group they seem to walk
well and have good temperaments.”
The family is in safe hands at
Owenstown, with Poetical’s daughter
Rhythm And Rhyme part of the
broodmare band. The Elnadim
five-year-old visited Dark Angel this
season following the arrival of a filly by
Dragon Pulse’s sire Kyllachy.
Tinnakill aiming high with Bullet Train colt
BULLET TRAIN is used to his elder sibling
Frankel stealing the limelight, having
served as his pacemaker in many a race.
However, Tinnakill House Stud will be
hoping the Bullet Train name stands out
in its own right at this month’s Orby Sale
when offering the sole lot by the US
(
resident (right,
lot 345).
The Derby Trial winner was relocated
to Wintergreen Stallion Station then
Crestwood Farm in Kentucky after his
retirement from racing and has shuttled
to Bowness Stud in New South Wales.
Tinnakill’s colt hails from the sire’s first
northern-hemisphere crop and is out of
the Orientate mare Poule D’Eau from the
family of Group 1-winning juvenile
Spartacus and Gallinule Stakes scorer
Johan Cruyff.
Tinnakill House manager Ian
Thompson says of the import: “Dermot
[Cantillon] had the plan to pinhook three
US yearlings, mainly for the different
pedigrees they’d offer. He knew there
wouldn’t be many over here by Bullet
Train so we thought he might stand out
on rarity value.
“The colt is very nice, he’s an
outstanding mover – probably the best
mover we have. His temperament is very

Her two previous offspring
were colts by Galileo and the
eldest, now called Juniper

O’Byrne at Tattersalls Book 1
for 950,000gns in 2012. His
year-younger brother,
three-year-old Pietrangelo, is
in training with David Lanigan

This filly has taken after her
mother in the looks department
according to Robert Tierney,
manager of the 250-acre farm.
“She’s a very, very nice filly
and is similar to her mother,”
he says. “Alexander Goldrun
was a super racemare and her
daughter is very like her, she
definitely has the stamp of her
mother.”
The 14-year-old daughter of
Gold Away is described by the
Tipperary native as “a lovely
looking mare with a great way
of going about her”, and her
first daughter has inherited
much of mother’s best traits.
“She has a top-class pedigree
and we think the article
matches up to the pedigree,”
Tierney adds.

crop due to go under the

dam, it will be standing-room

on Tuesday, September 29.
“There will be a huge buzz
about her all right, given she
comes so early in the sale and
is the first Frankel yearling to
be sold in Ireland,” Tierney
concurs.
Davenport Milenium, a
Grade 1-winning hurdler, and
Champion Bumper and Irish
Hennessy Gold Cup winner
Alexander Banquet are among
O’Callaghan’s most famous
horses but, despite breeding
2013 Grand National hero
Auroras Encore,
Mountarmstrong is completely
focused on producing top-class
Flat horses with its broodmare
band of 30.
The farm’s jumps exploits
have been surpassed by those
of Gigginstown House Stud,
the operation owned and run
by two of O’Callaghan’s
nephews – Michael and Eddie
O’Leary.
That policy will be in
evidence at Tattersalls where
Mountarmstrong is sending a
strong draft of yearlings,
headed by two sons of
Acclamation in Book 1.
“The Acclamation yearling
out of Remember Alexander
(409) is a super colt, a real
standout, especially for a first
foal,” says Tierney of the son of
the Group 3-winning mare,
who has a filly foal by Kodiac
at foot.
Alexander Youth is a winning
daughter of Exceed And Excel
whose first two foals to race
have won so her Acclamation
colt (41) is eagerly anticipated
and her 2015 produce is a filly
by Sea The Stars.
“Our draft for Book 2 is
headed by a Dream Ahead colt
out of Alexander Queen
(569), who is a half-sister to
Anthem Alexander and Dandy
Man,” Tierney says. “He’s a
smashing looking colt with a
great attitude towards
everything and he loves his
work.”
Lot 770 is a first foal, a
daughter of Pour Moi out of
Distant Symphony from the
family of Crystal Music, while
lot 707 is a son of Lawman
out of the Listed-winning
Galileo mare Distant Legend.
“The Rip Van Winkle colt out
of Obama Rule (1132) is a
very nice horse too and the
dam is a lovely young mare.
Her sister Osaila won the
Sandringham Handicap at
Royal Ascot this year and has
also scored twice at Group 3
level.”
Mountarmstrong also
consigns a colt by Irish 2,000
Guineas winner Roderic
O’Connor (613) and its draft is
completed by Tipperary
Boutique’s son of Zebedee,
who is offered as lot 1761 in
Book 3.
L
AST year’s Queen
Mary Stakes winner
Anthem Alexander is
the farm’s flagbearer
on the track and the
homebred daughter of
Starspangledbanner will
return to the place of her birth
when the time comes.
The Listed-placed Online
Alexander, who has won three
times for trainer Kevin Ryan,
will eventually join her
among the ranks of the
Mountarmstrong broodmare
band to produce the next
generation of horses to bear
the Alexander name.
The Alexander connection is
from the world of hotels. The
operation is one of six
establishments in Dublin, the
US and Gibraltar owned by
Noel O’Callaghan through his
O’Callaghan Hotels, as was the
Davenport, which gave the
Willie Mullins-trained
Punchestown Grade 1 winner
his name.
That is the past. The present
is Alexander Goldrun’s
daughter of Frankel and the
future is her filly foal by
Shamardal. Genetic gold in the

AGICAL
MEMORY
provided
Kennet Valley
Thoroughbreds
with a memorable success in
the Stewards’ Cup – and a
not-inconsiderable £155,625
– at Goodwood in August.
Founded in 1988 by Nick
Robinson, the syndicate is no
stranger to big-race wins.
This year flagbearer Tullius
landed the Group 2 York
Stakes – midway through his
sixth season of racing.
Operating in the Newbury
and Berkshire area, the
syndicate has seven horses
spread between trainers
Richard Hannon, Andrew
Balding, Ralph Beckett and
Charlie Hills, responsible for
the Goodwood scorer.
Kennet Valley racing
manager Sam Hoskins says:
“Magical Memory has been
brilliant this year,
especially for a horse who
cost €35,000. When he won
the Stewards’ Cup at
Goodwood that was a very
special day and very exciting
for his owners.”
Magical Memory, who
belongs to a group of 18
Kennet Valley members, was
purchased by Luke
Lillingston at the Goffs Orby
Sale in 2013.
“He just has something
about him, he has class and
we’re lucky to have him,”
says Hoskins. “He’s three
years old now and you’d hope
there’s more to come.
“All of us liked him and his
half-sister, Alutiq, was a very
smart two-year-old. That
suggested he could be good.
“It’s great fun to compete
at that level and it shows you
don’t need to spend a massive
amount at the sales to be
successful. We have a finite
budget and it makes sense to
go to Ireland for the Orby
Sale with the weaker Euro at
the moment.”
By Zebedee out of the
Cadeaux Genereux mare
Marasem, Magical Memory
has run 13 times, winning
four races and amassing
£277,047 in prize-money.
The gelding was last seen
finishing a close third to
Twilight Son, behind
stablemate Strath Burn, in
the Group 1 Haydock Sprint
Cup this month.
Magical Memory wins last
month’s Stewards’ Cup
are offered for sale to its
members, and typically it is
16 people who own the
horse. Hoskins believes
understanding the sales
market is key and says: “We

Book 1 graduates Legatissimo (right)

the highest level this season
Tattersalls October
Book 1 Sale
Friday, September 18, 2015 racingpost.com
Sale continues to soar to great heights
WHAT goes up must come down. So said
Sir Isaac Newton – yet Book 1 of the
Tattersalls October Yearling Sale has done
an incredible job of defying his theory of
gravitation.
A stellar renewal of the 2013 sale,
headlined by record-breaking 5,000,000gns
filly Al Naamah and a 3,600,000gns colt
named after the aforementioned physicist,
returned an average up 27 per cent on the
previous year – itself up 15 per cent from
12 months earlier. Such a trend would seem
difficult to continue, but Tattersalls rose to
the challenge last year and while the top lot
of 2,600,000gns did not quite hit the same
heights as its predecessor, the sale itself
returned an average of 235,935gns
– up 14 per cent on 2013.
With 18 lots by Frankel and a half-sister to
this year’s 1,000 Guineas winner
Legatissimo just the tip of blue-breds found
within the catalogue, vendors, buyers and
the crowd of spectators who descend on
Park Paddocks each October are sure to
enjoy plenty of pre-Bonfire night fireworks.
In addition to the exquisite yearlings on
offer, buyers also part with their money in
knowledge their purchases will be eligible
for the new Book 1 bonus, a scheme offering
£25,000 prizes to graduates who land a
Class 2, 3 or 4 juvenile maiden in Britain or
open juvenile maiden in Ireland.
An admirable replacement for the
Tattersalls Millions series, but a scheme
many would hope could one day encompass
Books 2 and 3.

Washington DC lands the
Windsor Castle Stakes
WASHINGTON DC, who won the Windsor
Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot this year, has
made sure his half-brother is an attractive
prospect for potential buyers at this year’s
edition of Book 1 at Tattersalls.
The Aidan O’Brien-trained juvenile
finished second behind Air Force Blue in
the Phoenix Stakes on his most recent
start and holds an entry in the Group 1
Dubai Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket
next month.
His Rip Van Winkle half-brother, out of
the Shinko Forest mare How’s She Cuttin’,
will be offered as lot 236 (right) by Oghill
House Stud – and the operation’s Hugh
Friday, September 18, 2015 racingpost.com
Hyland is looking forward to the yearling
making his way through the ring.
“He’s much like Washington DC in terms
of looks and fits the bill of a Book 1 horse,”
says Hyland. “He’s a later foal than
Washington DC but he’s grown up a lot in
the last few months. We’re very hopeful
he’ll sell well and that Washington DC
continues to perform on the track.”
The County Kildare nursery also offers
an Invincible Spirit filly, lot 385, out of
Pleasantry – a half-sister to Classic winner
and champion miler Kingman.
“She’s a lovely filly,” says Hyland.
“Invincible Spirit is a marvellous stallion
and the filly looks really sharp – she could
be a proper two-year-old.”
Regal relation among Frankel squad
IF THREE is the magic number, then
what power must 18 hold when it refers
to the near herd of Frankel yearlings
heading to Book 1?
Last month’s Arqana sale showed
buyers are far from shy about snapping
up a son or daughter of the dual
champion, headed by a €1.15 million
filly out of Platonic, the granddam of
Irish Oaks winner Chicquita.
Similarly well-bred lots – and a few
arguably more so – can be found among
those bound for Park Paddocks,
including a colt out of Dubai Sheema
Classic winner Dar Re Mi who has been
the talk of the town for many months
(lot 148), and a son of star producer
Swiss Lake (482).
Highclere Stud, a leading vendor
at Book 1, brings to the group a
half-brother to Sprint Cup winner Regal
Parade out of Model Queen (339).
“He’s a gorgeous colt, strong, powerful
and a great mover,” says the stud’s
Carolyn Warren. “He looks like a
two-year-old. He’s got tremendous
presence like his dad and he’s got
wonderful elevated paces. We’re thrilled
with him.”
Hillwood Stud will consign one of just
four fillies on offer by the sire, a
half-sister to smart juveniles Steeler and
Secret Brief (163).
“She’s settling into prep well,” says
Hillwood owner Charlie Vigors. “She’s a
Dar Re Mi: the three-time Group 1 winner is dam of a Frankel colt, lot 148
good, athletic filly on the lunge, taking
it all in her stride and enjoying her work.
“She could be a sharp type – I
wouldn’t say an Ascot two-year-old but
from summer on.”
Returning to Tattersalls is the Frankel
filly out of Kirinda, who was knocked
down for 150,000gns as a foal (268).
“We’ve had her on the stud since she
was bought at the end of November,”
says Maura O’Sullivan of Cooneen Stud.
“She wintered here very well and then
went out for the spring. She came back
in at the beginning of July and has taken
preparation very well.
“There’s a sparkle around Frankel at
the moment with the yearlings and at
the same time expectations are quite
high. You’re hoping there’s profit to be
made on her and at the end of the day
that she goes on to do bigger and better
things.”
Lot 163, a filly out of Discreet Brief (left) from Hillwood Stud, and lot 339, Highclere Stud’s colt out of Model Queen
LODG PAR STUD is no stranger
to success at Tattersalls, having
sold the record-breaking filly
Al Naamah for 5,000,000gns at
the October earling Sale in 2013.
The County ilkenny operation
also topped the sale in 2010 when
her sister, subsequent Oaks
heroine Was, sold to Demi O’Byrne
for 1,200,000gns.
This year the stud consigns
lot 43, a Galileo brother to the
pair. His dam, the Green Desert
mare Alluring Park, is a half-sister
to Derby hero New Approach, a
five-time Group 1 winner and the
sire of fellow Classic winners Dawn
Approach and Talent.
Damian Burns of Lodge Park
Stud says: “The colt has a stallion’s
pedigree and we couldn’t be
happier with the horse physically.
“It’s just down to what happens
in the ring on the day. We’re lucky
to be an hour from Galileo and as
we’re a relatively small operation
we’re always looking to do things
that keep the foundations of our
enterprise going.”
A NUMB R of sires have just a sole
lot on offer at Tattersalls, and one
who holds particular rarity value is
lot 63, a son of Darley’s champion
Australian sire Lonhro.
The son of Octagonal shuttled
from his New South Wales base to
Jonabell Farm in entucky for three
seasons between 2012 and 2014
with the first of those runners
making quite an impression in
urope despite being few in
number.
Consigned by Lynn Lodge Stud,
the Newmarket offering is out of
the Listed runner-up Clever Trick
mare Asheville and was pinhooked
by Margaret O’Toole at eeneland
for 60,000. Born in April, he is a
half-brother to three winners
including the stakes-placed
Agastache from the family of
Grade 1 scorers Valley Crossing,
Femme lite and Ad Valorem.

All aboard for
sole Bounty filly
BAHAMIAN BOUNT has been
consistently popular throughout
his tenure at the National Stud,
regularly providing returns well in
excess of his stud fee and backing
those sales up with a plethora of
winners including Group 1 brothers
Pastoral Pursuits and Goodricke.
News of his retirement from
covering duties will no doubt
ensure his remaining yearlings
continue to command plenty of
interest, and those keen to acquire
a member of the sire’s penultimate
crop should pay attention to
lot 310, a daughter of the Group 1
winner and the sole lot by him
catalogued in Book 1.
Offered by Luke Lillingston’s
Mount Coote Stud, she is out of
the Listed-placed Madame
Boulangere, a daughter of Royal
Applause from the family of
Lancashire Oaks winner Lady Tiana.
Would-be buyers who miss out
on the filly can take solace in the
fact six lots by Bahamian Bounty
are set for Book 2.
Celebratory
Bonus launch
TATT RSALLS officially launched its
new Book 1 Bonus with a
sumptuous lunch at the famed
Scott’s Restaurant in Mayfair last
month.
The scheme, which replaces the
Tattersalls Millions Series, will
offer a 25,000 bonus to the
connections of graduates who win
a Class 2, 3 or 4 juvenile maiden in
Britain or an open two-year-old
maiden in Ireland.
Tattersalls chairman dmond
Mahony said: “Pri e-money is the
lifeblood of the sport and we are
proud to be introducing a scheme
that looks set to capture the
imagination of owners, trainers
and consignors, and that will
launch celebrations for the 250th
anniversary year of the founding of
Tattersalls.”
Lot 24, the Redoute’s Choice filly out of Yummy Mummy (left), and lot 439, a daughter of Street Cry and Shastye
Gesture sibling set to raise spirits
THERE is perhaps no horse who deserves
a top-flight win more than Secret
Gesture, the dual Oaks runner-up who
lost last month’s Beverly D Stakes in the
stewards’ room. The appeal is ongoing,
but her dam Shastye can hopefully
provide a welcome tonic for the mare’s
breeder and part-owner Newsells Park
Stud at Tattersalls.
Bought by the stud for 625,000gns in
2005, in recent years Shastye has
become the queen of Newsells Park, not
only providing Secret Gesture but also
record-breaking yearling Sir Isaac
Newton, who sold for 3.6 million
guineas at Book 1 in 2013. At that time
she was already in foal to a king, the late
Darley sire Street Cry, and the resulting
filly is on offer at Park Paddocks next
month (lot 439).
The loss of Street Cry last year was a
blow to breeders in both hemispheres,
the shuttle sire having cracked both
industries with the likes of Breeders’
Cup heroine Zenyatta and Melbourne
Cup winner Shocking.
Leading British performers by the sire
include Derby third Carlton House and
crack juvenile Saamidd, while his
daughter Lura is responsible for 1,000
Guineas runner-up Lucida.
Secret Gesture is first past the post in the Beverly D Stakes at Arlington Park
However, his latest filly to go under
the hammer is just one of 22 lots offered
by the Hertfordshire operation, whose
leading consignor form-figures since
2010 read 41363 – an impressively
consistent performance in this toughest
of arenas.
This year’s draft is as strong as any,
with other likely standouts including a
Frankel filly out of dual Grade 1
winner Dynaforce (174), a brother to

Fillies’ Mile runner-up Lady Darshaan

UMANI’S loss could
be someone else’s
gain, with a son of
Foxwedge out of the
Cadeaux Genereux
mare set to go under the
hammer in Newmarket next
month (lot
).
“As a foal he was nicknamed
Timber,” says Weinfeld. “He’s
very strong with a lot of bone
and a great walk – very
powerful and a real
tough-looking horse.”
A close relative to the colt
also proved what he was
made of when coming out on
top in one of the battles of the
season to land Ascot’s King
George VI and Queen
Elizabeth Stakes.
“His dam is a half-sister to
the dam of Postponed,” adds
Weinfeld. “His half-brother
[Talyani] has won three races
now too, so the family looks to
be on the up. We really like
this colt, so I hope we’ve done
the right thing by putting him
in Book 1 – it certainly looks a
Book 1 pedigree.”
Whitsbury Manor Stud
resident Foxwedge is one of 20
first-crop sires represented
among the pages of Tattersalls’
flagship sale, and supporting
newcomers to the stallion
ranks is something Weinfeld
undertakes with each new
season.
“I’m a great believer in using
some first-season sires,” he
says. “It can go one of two
ways, either very well or
sometimes very badly, but you
have to try to be selective in
your choice of who to go for
and hope for the best.”
And when it comes to
choosing a mate for each of the
Meon Valley broodmare band,
certain members literally have
the pick of the bunch. Dash To
The Front, a Warwickshire
Oaks winner who descends
from One In A Million, would
be a case in point. Previous

matings include Shamardal
– the result of which is the
handy Speedy Boarding – and
Dubawi, while in 2013 she
visited freshman sire Nathaniel
– the result, lot
.
“The Nathaniels have been
doing very well at the sales,”
says Weinfeld, who owns a
share in the Newsells Park
resident. “This colt is a really
nice example, you can see the
sire-line in him – a very
elegant, classic horse with a
great walk.”
From one newcomer to
another, an undoubted
highlight of the Meon Draft
will be lot
4, the first foal
out of dual Group 1 winner
Izzi Top.
“He’s a beautiful-looking
horse and oozes quality,” says
Weinfeld of the Oasis Dream
colt. “He has a stallion’s
pedigree through and through
and he’s the perfect model to
go with it. He definitely takes
after his sire, he has a great
walk and I can’t really fault
him.”

‘

great-granddam all Group 1
winners, it’s certainly not
advertising lingo when talking
of a stallion’s pedigree, and
with recent Deauville scorer
Jazzi Top – a half-sister to Izzi
Top – handed a Group 1
mission, his page could be
bolstered shortly before his
date in the ring.
“Jazzi Top will hopefully go
for the Prix de l’Opera,” says
Weinfeld. “She’s having a bit of
a break now so we can go there
with a fresh horse.
“Hopefully we’ll keep her in
training next year.”
T
HE daughter of
Danehill
Dancer will
be readied
for her
mission by John Gosden,
but question of how
many horses the stud
has in training evokes
the amused response:
“Too many!”
Weinfeld adds: “We
retain three or four fillies most
years as a definite plan. But
we send most of the them to
the sales as we have to pay
the bills. If something
doesn’t sell we put
them into training,
Izzi Top: the dual
Group 1 winner
is represented by
her first foal at
Book 1, lot 254,
an Oasis Dream colt
who “oozes quality”
but we endeavour to sell
everything we catalogue.
“We’ve been very lucky with
unsold horses as they include
Speedy Boarding, Shirocco
Star and Kissogram.
“If they go to the sale they’re
there to be sold – whether the
market likes the individual or
the sire is another thing.
What’s in or out of fashion at
the time of the sale makes a
huge difference.”

vendors, the market, has in

recent seasons mellowed from
the vicious creature it became
after the global crash in 2008,
but it remains as fickle as ever.
Again taking Dash To The
Front as an example, in 2013
her daughter Speedy Boarding
failed to sell at 95,000gns. Just
12 months later her Dubawi
colt made 800,000gns.
B
UT with many a
season under his
belt, Weinfeld knows
as well as any that
bloodstock is an art,
not a science. He will arrive at
Park Paddocks next month
with a draft crafted over
generations, horse and human,
including a Dansili colt out of
One So Marvellous (364) who
Weinfeld describes as “a big,
strong horse with a fantastic
walk – really classy looking”,
and a Shamardal colt out of
Celestial Girl (119).
“He’s really quite special,”
says Weinfeld. “He has a great
presence and attitude. The
dam won five races and came
second five times. She’s a real
tough cookie.”

And that, Weinfeld knows, is
what really counts.
“It doesn’t matter how much
a horse sells for, if they go on
to do something good that’s
where the real thrill is,” he
says.
“If we sold a horse for
20,000gns and he went on to
win a Group 1 we’d be just as
delighted as if we’d sold a
horse for a million.
“That’s what we’re all in the

That’s the most important
thing and where the pleasure
lies!”

Philipp Stauffenberg: seven
yearlings in Book 1
her as a foal. At Book 2,
Stauffenberg sold a Holy
Roman Emperor colt he had
bought as a foal for 70,000gns
to BBA Ireland for 165,000gns.
The Champs Elysees colt, a
half-brother to Rockfel Stakes
winner Al Thakhira now
named Shahbar, has won a
Sandown maiden and has
Group 1 entries, as has the
Holy Roman Emperor colt
named Rockaway Valley, who
Ittlingen in Westphalia for 16
years, was quick to reinvest the
profits made at the yearling
sales on foals.
He will make the trip from
Germany to Newmarket next
month with seven yearlings for
Book 1, five of whom were
sourced as foals.
Stauffenberg paid €210,000
for the dearest Casamento foal
(lot 64) at the Goffs
November Sale – a half-sister
scored in a maiden before
placing at Group 2 level for
Jessica Harrington.
“I knew I had some nice
horses,” says Stauffenberg,
who sold Deutsches Derby hero
Lucky Speed for €46,000 in
2011. “But you can never
predict how well they will sell.
I was delighted for the whole
team and all involved with the
results. With the limited
numbers we can
accommodate we try to focus
on quality.
“In the past two years it has
paid off for my investors, and
people who have bought the
horses have had success, and
that’s key. From the first four
foals we bought we’ve had a
Listed winner, a
Group 2-placed horse and the
other two have won.”

to high-class sprinter Hot
Streak – before heading to
Tattersalls where he parted
with 160,000gns for a Dutch
Art colt (150), 150,000gns for
an Elusive Quality filly (451),
and 85,000gns on a Zoffany
colt (220). He also raided the
Arqana December Sale, going
to €290,000 for an Oasis
Dream half-sister to Listed
winner and Group 1-placed
Ana Americana (52).
He will also consign a pair of
colts by Oasis Dream colt (89)
and Dansili (501) on behalf of
their breeders.
D
ESPITE spending
big sums at the foal
sales, Stauffenberg
is confident rather
than apprehensive
in the build-up to next month.
“You always hope your
investments work out,” he says.
“I have to say I like the yearlings
I have for the sale, but I’d be
cautious when it comes to
predicting what might happen.
I have to say
I i e the year i gs
I have or the sa e
Phi i
Sta
e
erg
“The strong foal market last
year meant we had to spend
more money than the year
before for the same quality of
horses. Hopefully the market
will hold up. The sales at
Arqana and DBS haven’t been
too bad, so hopefully the
quality we have will pay off.”
Stauffenberg adds: “They’ve
all prepped very well. I’m
happy with the way they’ve all
progressed. I’m asked a lot to
select a standout yearling, but
it’s not an easy question to
answer. They’re all different.
Some look fast, early
two-year-old types, while
others look like they’ll need a
little more time, more of a
Classic type. We spend a lot on
them as foals, we look for
quality, and now we’re looking
for buyers willing to invest in
quality yearlings.”
Stauffenberg is confident the
economic turmoil in the Far
East will have little effect on
trade at Book 1.
“It seems quite surprising
how the bloodstock bubble
survives during most economic
problems,” he says. “I don’t
know how things will work
out, but we live in hope. If we
didn’t we wouldn’t be in this
business.”

Acclamation filly
‘a joy to prepare’
WHATTON MANOR STUD, whose
Poet’s Voice colt topped the
Book 2 Sale when selling for a
record-breaking 525,000gns last
year, returns to Park Paddocks
offering his Acclamation half-sister
(lot 1,190).
The filly is the fifth foal out of
the Foxhound mare Poppets
Sweetlove and is a half-sister to
the winners Patentar and Lady
Poppy.
The stud’s Ed Player is happy
with the filly ahead of the sale and
said: “She’s a very nice individual.
She looks like a real two-year-old
and we like her a lot.
“She was born and raised on the
stud as we’ve had a lot of her
family here. She has taken to her
prep really well and has been
one of those who are a joy to
prepare.
“We completely understand
we’re not going to have the
fireworks of last year and were
very lucky with how things turned
out with the colt, but we’re
hopeful she makes good money as
we think she’s very nice.”

Follow the Bear and co for top results
BOOK 2
RECORD was the watchword at last
year’s Book 2 sale – a new high was set
for the top lot, aggregate, average and
median, despite the number of horses
being sold falling from 765 to 660.
A hard act to follow for 2015, then,
but in reality it is the results on course
that count – Group 1-winning graduates
this season include sprint star Mecca’s
Angel and Classic winner Jack Hobbs.
The pair were bought for 16,000gns and
60,000gns, and with 915 lots catalogued
there are sure to be more where they
came from.
A quick-fire Group double by Kodi
Bear has ensured a mighty update for
his Zebedee half-sister (lot 894), who
will go under the hammer on day two of
Book 2.
Trained by Clive Cox, the son of
Kodiac is now his sire’s highest-rated
performer, having also finished fourth
to Territories in this season’s Prix Jean
Prat.
“The filly is lovely, a beautiful
specimen with a very fluid action,” says
Paul McCartan, who will consign the
yearling through his Ballyphilip Stud.
“It’s not just Kodi Bear who has given
the page a boost. Esoterique is found
under the third dam and she’s had a
terrific year, winning the Prix Jacques
le Marois and finishing second to
Muhaarar in the Prix Maurice de
Gheest – so all being
well she should be
popular.”
The Februaryborn yearling,
out of the
Mujtahid mare
Hawattef, is one
of eight lots on
offer by the
County
Limerick
operation.

New Providence sibling leads way for husband-and-wife team
JAMES ORTEGA BLOODSTOCK, which
bred dual Group 3 winner New
Providence, is offering a Bated Breath
half-brother to Hugo Palmer’s
three-year-old (lot 633).
Jim Atkinson, who set up the
breeding operation with his wife
Martha Ortega, has bred three foals
out of the Giant’s Causeway mare
Bayja.
As well as producing New Providence,
Bayja is the dam of Ahdaf, who got off
the mark in a 6f nursery handicap at
Carlisle this month.
Atkinson is looking forward to
offering the April-born colt and said:
“We’re very hopeful he’s going to do
well, he looks like a two-year-old and I
think he’s going to be a sprinter.
“I like Bated Breath, he had some
yearlings sell well at Arqana and
Doncaster. I have two [yearlings] for
Book 2 and I think the Bated Breath one
is likely to do well.”
