Joint Toppers at Tattersalls Online

The Tattersalls Online August 17th Sale concluded its one-day run on Tuesday with co-toppers at 26,000gns. The Kodi Kid (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), lot 24, was the first of the pair to sell and was picked up by Paul Wildes from the consignment of Andrew Balding's Park House Stables. A two-time winner from six starts so far, the 3-year-old gelding is rated 87 and is out of a half-sister to Scandinavian champion sprinter Easy Road (GB) (Compton Place {GB}), who won the G3 Polar Cup.

Matching The Kodi Kid's price was National Hunt prospect Rotten Row (Ire) (Leading Light {Ire}) (lot 35), who went to Timmy O'Byrne. Consigned by Joseph O'Brien's Carriganog Racing, Rotten Row is a winner of his only start, a NH flat race at Roscommon, and is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Chasing Cars (Ire) (Supreme Leader).

Bidding for G2 Coventry S. runner-up Eldrickjones (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) (lot 10) and stakes winner and G3 Solario S. third Apollo One (GB) (Equiano {Fr}) (lot 26) reached 280,00gns and 250,000gns, respectively, but neither horse was marked as sold.

At the end of the day's trade, 12 of the 28 lots offered found new homes for a gross of 120,500gns. The average was 10,042gns and the median was 5,650gns.

After the conclusion of the Tattersalls Online Aug. 17th Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented, “The Tattersalls Online platform continues to prove its worth as a convenient alternative to conventional sales, and our sixth online sale has again shown consistent demand from buyers at all levels of the market for the diverse range of flat and National Hunt prospects offered. Our next online sale will be held on Sept. 15th. We are also looking forward to holding our first Tattersalls Online sale exclusively for point-to-pointers and National Hunt prospects in December and we are confident that the Tattersalls Online platform will continue to broaden its appeal to both domestic and international buyers.”

XBTV Passes 1,000 Workout Milestone For 2021 Saratoga, Del Mar Meets

Barely one month into this summer's Saratoga and Del Mar meets, XBTV.com has already successfully captured, cataloged and uploaded more than 1,000 morning video workouts for racing's marquee meets. This milestone provides handicappers with 'behind the scenes' access to the nation's top horses and future stars and remains available without cost to 1/ST account holders.

“You can refer to published workouts and form assumptions based only on final time, but the opportunity to view the video and gain an understanding of how the drill was accomplished can turn an educated guess into a confident wager,” said Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and analyst. “Especially at Saratoga and Del Mar, where fitness, quickness and readiness among two-year-olds and layoff runners must be accurately evaluated, the videos at XBTV.com provide the missing link to the handicapping process that the serious horseplayer simply cannot be without.”

With the tracks' two premier days on tap for later this month – Del Mar's Pacific Classic on August 21 and Saratoga's Travers on August 28 – now is the perfect time to browse XBTV's video library to gain an edge while handicapping races. XBTV teams in California and New York have been hard at work since before both tracks opened in July, capturing workouts for horses of all talent levels, from graded stakes winners to the unraced 2-year-olds looking to join them.

XBTV's video workout library is available at no cost for 1/ST account holders. To setup a free 1/ST account, simply visit XBTV.com and provide your name, email address and date of birth. A 1/ST account also allows customers to access the 1/ST BET and Xpressbet betting platforms as well as BETMIX handicapping software.

As happens at Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park during the Winter and Spring, two XBTV camera operators are trackside each morning working with the Official Clockers at each track to record the workouts. The full XBTV library extends beyond two years of workout footage, which allows handicappers the opportunity to look at how a horse's work pattern might have changed – positively or negatively – throughout its career.

XBTV's exclusive video workouts will return to Santa Anita and Gulfstream this fall prior to both tracks' the October meets.
