ThoroughbredAuctions.Com November Mixed Sale Begins Monday

Bidding opens Monday, Oct. 26 and closes Monday, Nov. 2 for the November Mixed Internet Auction of Thoroughbreds by ThoroughbredAuctions.com.

The auction has nearly 70 entries and include large consignments from Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana and Arizona as well as Kentucky. The auction is offering broodmares by sires such as Medaglia d'Oro, War Front, City Zip, Street Cry, Wildcat Heir, Awesome Again, Indian Charlie, Kantharos and Union Rags, among others.

Also selling are 2019 and 2020 accredited Oklahoma Breds by such sires as Liaison, Mshawish, Diabolical, and I Spent It. The sale also includes Accredited New Mexico Bred yearlings by King Bull and Latigo Shore.

A majority of the entries are being sold with no reserve.

“2020 has been a challenging year for breeders, particularly regional breeders, to find viable venues to market their broodmares and young stock,” said Tim Jennings of ThoroughbredAuctions.com. “Many live auctions have been canceled, or rescheduled. Our company offers a safe, cost-effective alternative for selling Thoroughbreds. We reach a wider range of buyers, and horses can be sold without leaving their stalls, and without buyers and sellers leaving the comfort of their homes.”

Prospective buyers will need to go to the auction website, and create an account if they have never participated in the auctions. They will then need to request a bidder's number in order to bid. Please visit the website at ThoroughbredAuctions.com for more information or email info@thoroughbredauctions.com.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: A Look Back and a Love Story

Maintaining Magoo’s eligibility for the 2021 Thoroughbred Makeover through the fall is turning out to be a little harder than I had expected — we cannot go over 15 retraining rides prior to Dec. 1. With him feeling his best again, he continually reminds me how trainable he is, and I am getting extremely excited to get him started on the path to his second career. Thankfully, fall in the Central Kentucky Thoroughbred industry is busy. While at the sales, I have been having fun keeping an eye on Magoo’s former competition. A Look Back

Son of Ghanaati Stars at Newmarket

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Wednesday’s Insights features a son of Classic heroine Ghanaati (Giant’s Causeway).

1.35 Newmarket, Novice, £6,900, 2yo, c/g, 7fT
MUTASAABEQ (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) is the latest progeny out of Shadwell’s G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Coronation S. heroine Ghanaati (Giant’s Causeway) who debuts for the Charlie Hills stable. The March-foaled homebred colt is met by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum’s fellow newcomer Dubawi Sands (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Roger Varian-trained half-brother to another Classic winner at this venue in Galileo Gold (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}), and George Strawbridge’s Sevenal (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), a John Gosden-trained son of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Latice (Ire) (Inchinor {GB}).
5.45 Kempton, Novice, £6,300, 2yo, f, 7f (AWT)
MALATHAAT (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is another notable Shadwell newcomer on the day, being a half-sister to last year’s G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial winner and G1 Epsom Derby fourth Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}). Richard Hannon introduces the €500,000 Goffs Orby graduate, whose dam is the smart Sweepstake (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) from the family of Zoffany (Ire).

Adlerflug Flies High At Arqana

DEAUVILLE, France—France is one of the few countries in Europe where it is still relatively easy for people to go racing, so a short stroll down the road to Hippodrome La Touques from the Arqana sales complex was a perfect pre-sales outing, with the day’s two black-type races well timed to be observed before action got underway in the ring.

The winner of the G3 Prix des Reservoirs, Rougir (Fr) (Territories {Ire}), not only provided her first-season sire Territories (Ire) with his first group winner but also gave a boost to last year’s Arqana August Sale, where she was bought from Haras de l’Hotellerie for €55,000. She had also been the first winner for Territories on June 10 at Chantilly, when she posted her first of three victories, as well as running third in the G1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc weekend.

Back at Arqana, the trade dropped a notch during the second sessionn of the October Sale, where the day’s takings for 115 horses sold came to €3,046,000. The average was €26,487 and the median was €20,000, both of which are tricky to assess in comparison to last year’s markedly different sales format. A promising marker, which has been a factor at most of the 2020 yearling sales across Europe, was the clearance rate of 82%. Horses are still being traded, albeit at a reduced level in a challenging year.

The market leader for much of the day was Haras de Bourgeauville’s colt by Adlerflug (Ger), the sole offering by the leading German stallion in the catalogue. The Francis Graffard-trained In Swoop (Ger), who became the first French-based winner of the G1 Deutsches Derby and then gave Sottsass (Fr) (SIyouni {Fr}) a run for his money when second in the Arc, showed just what the under-used stallion is capable of, and the session-topping colt was one of nine purchases by Federico Barberini so far at this sale. Offered as lot 248, the half-brother to the Listed Brown Panther S. winner Alveena (GB) (Medicean {GB}) will be trained in England after being bought for €85,000 for an undisclosed client of the Italian agent.

The colt’s dam Aliyfa (Ire) (Spinning World), a half-sister to the G1 Irish St Leger and G1 Prix du Cadran winner Alandi (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), was bought by Bourgeauville from the Aga Khan Studs at the 2017 Goffs November Sale for €125,000 when carrying to Siyouni (Fr). The stud sold the resultant filly for €120,000 at the August Sale last year.

Two fillies shared the second spot on the leader board at €75,000, the first to reach that mark being a Wildenstein-bred daughter of Authorized (Ire) (lot 287) out of the lightly-raced Peintre Celebre mare Blue Picture (Ire). The filly’s grandam is the G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix de l’Opera winner Bright Sky (Ire) (Wolfhound), and she was bought by Mags O’Toole from the La Motteraye Consignment.

Al Shaqab Racing has been active throughout the October Sale at Arqana and bought the top lot on day one, the €525,000 colt by Siyouni (Fr), as well as signing for one of the more prominent yearlings of Tuesday’s session, with 16 horses bought across the two days.

Lot 333, picked up for €75,000, had extra commercial appeal as a daughter of the record-breaking first-season sire Mehmas (Ire), and she is out of the four-time winner Epatha (Ire) (Highest Honor {Fr}), who was bred by and raced for the late Marquesa de Moratalla and has thus far produced four winners. The filly was bought as a foal last December by Tina Rau for €20,000.

Part 2 of the October Yearling Sale continues in Deauville on Wednesday from 2 p.m.
