2023 Frizette Stakes at a Glance
The Frizette Stakes is the premier New York prep race for the NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and has served as a launching pad to stardom for 2-year-old fillies since long before the inception of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships in 1984.
Tattersalls October Auction Stakes Attracts Full Field
A field of 22 runners, anchored by favourite Zoulu Chief (GB) (Zousar {Aus}), has been drawn for the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction S. over six furlongs on Newmarket's Rowley Mile on Saturday, Oct. 7.
Trained by Heather Main, the colt is bidding for a hat trick of wins, after earlier successes at Windsor and York. He was a 27,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3 purchase from Whatton Manor Stud.
Another runner of interest is Tom Ward's Woodhay Wonder (GB) (Tamayuz {GB}), who has already claimed the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction S. over Newmarket's July Course. She was a 26,000gns Somerville yearling when picked up by Stroud Coleman and Ward from Genesis Green Stud.
Ward said, “Woodhay Wonder has been well since Newmarket. I have been happy with her progress and feel she is still improving”.
John Ferguson saddles Drama (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), who was a 27,000gns Somerville graduate from the consignment of Felley Priory Stud.
