Fabilis Sets Record Price At Tattersalls August Sale

Fabilis set a new record for the Tattersalls August Sale when selling for 350,000 guineas during the second and final session.

Whilst the sale is only in its second year, the price eclipsed the 220,000 guineas set at last year's inaugural sale. The clearance rate on the second day was an extraordinary 94 percent whilst the turnover was more than double yesterday's opening session, taking the sale proceeds to more than 5 million guineas. The combined turnover for the Tattersalls July Sale and August Sale was almost 18 million guineas, well above last year's July and August combined turnover of 14,371,300 guineas.

The Juddmonte Farms consigned and Ralph Beckett trained Fabilis set a new record at the Tattersalls August Sale when knocked down to Peter Doyle for 350,000 guineas on behalf of Prince Najd. The triple winning son of Frankel was victorious on his most recent start at Newmarket just five days ago and was offered with a Timeform rating of 104.

“He is for Prince Najd, a very long established client,” said Doyle. “I bought for his family many years ago. He is a lovely horse, I didn't think he'd make that much, but lots of people liked him. He comes from a very good operation, it is always nice to buy a horse from Juddmonte. The horse passed all the vets very well.
“The immediate plan will be to go and race in Saudi Arabia and aim for the Crown Prince Cup. We have had some success in the race before.”

Competition for the 3-year-old colt was fierce and included buyers from Australia and throughout the Gulf region.

At the conclusion of the 2021 Tattersalls August Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“Last year's inaugural Tattersalls August Sale, which was born out of COVID-related disruption to the racing calendar, was a huge success and the second renewal has returned figures which suggest that the fixture very much has a long-term future.

“With the recent July Sale returning to its customary numbers the August catalog was significantly smaller than last year, but the vibrance and extraordinary level of international participation which are the hallmarks of sales of this nature at Tattersalls have been in evidence from start to finish. Buyers from throughout Europe, the Gulf region, Australia and the U.S. have added to the strong domestic participation and we have yet again hosted a sale which has achieved a clearance rate in excess of 90 percent and generated sustained demand in all sectors of the market.

“Equally pleasing has been the fact that the August Sale has seen a return almost to normality after more than a year of staging sales which have been hampered by COVID-related protocols. It has been a real pleasure to have welcomed so many people back to Park Paddocks as we turn our attention to the Tattersalls yearling sales season starting with the Somerville Yearling Sale next week.”

Catalog For Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale Now Online

The catalog for the inaugural 2021 Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale is now online and can be viewed at www.tattersalls.com.

Formerly the Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale, the sale has been moved permanently to Newmarket and renamed the Somerville Yearling Sale and it retains the same ethos as its predecessor of meticulously selected, precocious yearlings.

The catalog features an impressive 292 yearlings who will be offered for sale on Tuesday, Sept. 7, all of which will be eligible for the all-new £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes as well as the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes.

The Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale quickly established a reputation as a consistent source of juvenile talent and last year's record-breaking renewal has produced a number of top-class performers headlined by the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes winner Chipotle at Royal Ascot. Purchased for 10,000 guineas by Eve Johnson Houghton and Highflyer Bloodstock, the son of Havana Gold began the season with victory in the Brocklesby Stakes and is one of 32 individual 2-year-old winners to come from the sale this year.

The sale has produced a remarkable 13 Group and Listed winners in its short history including Group 2 Lowther Stakes winner Miss Amulet, Group 3 Molecomb Stakes winner Steel Bull and this year's Group 3 winning 2-year-old Windstormblack who were purchased for £7,500, £15,000, and 17,500 guineas respectively.

The inaugural Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale looks certain to add to the roll of honor with an impressive catalogue that features own or half brothers and sisters to 44 Group and Listed performers including star graduates Windstormblack and the Listed winner Flippa the Strippa. Precocity features strongly with siblings to Group and Listed winning 2-year-olds Aqlaam Vision, Chilworth Icon, and Sweet Gardenia cataloged, as well as a half-sister to the top-class juvenile Ventura Rebel, placed in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup, and a half-brother to this year's Group 2 Coventry Stakes third Vintage Clarets by first-season-sire Unfortunately.

In total, there are siblings to 108 2-year-old winners cataloged and 80 yearlings out of dams who themselves won at two. These include 24 yearlings out of Group and Listed winning or placed mares including a Twilight Son colt out of the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes placed Baileys Jubilee and a Kodiac filly out of Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes runner up Sahool, already the dam of the Group 3 winner Laraaib.

The list of sires with cataloged yearlings includes proven Group 1 producers Acclamation, Bated Breath, Camacho, Dandy Man, Dark Angel, Dream Ahead, Fastnet Rock, Footstepsinthesand, Havana Gold, Holy Roman Emperor, Iffraaj, Kodiac, Mehmas, Night of Thunder, Oasis Dream, Sea the Moon, Showcasing, Sir Percy, Starspangledbanner, and Zoffany.

Whitsbury Manor Stud's Group 1 winner Havana Grey leads the way numerically with 21 yearlings cataloged and is one of seventeen stallions represented by their first crop of yearlings including Cracksman, Expert Eye, Gustav Klimt, Harry Angel, Hawkbill, James Garfield, Jungle Cat, Kessaar, Lightning Spear, Massaat, Sioux Nation, Tasleet, Unfortunately, Washington DC, and the champion Australian sire Zoustar whose first Northern Hemisphere crop are now yearlings.

The first crops of 2-year-olds by Ardad, Cotai Glory, Galileo Gold, and Profitable have set racecourses alight this season and all four have representatives catalogued, in addition to yearlings by exciting young sires Cable Bay, Gleneagles, Kodi Bear, New Bay, and Territories.

The largest consignment of yearlings will come from Tally-Ho Stud with nineteen lots cataloged, followed by Barton Stud and Rathasker Stud with eleven yearlings apiece and Trickledown Stud with ten. Last year's sale topping consignor Ringfort Stud will feature a small but select draft of four yearlings including colts by leading first season sires Cotai Glory and Profitable.

All yearlings cataloged in the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale will be eligible for the new £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes in addition to the immensely popular £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes held five weeks later. Eighty two of the fillies cataloged are also registered for the lucrative Great British Bonus Scheme and eligible to win up to £20,000 in bonus prize money per qualifying race.

Commenting on the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale, Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said;

“The catalyst for launching the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale at Park Paddocks was the extraordinary vibrance of last year's relocated Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale and consignors have embraced the permanent move with an outstanding group of precocious yearlings. The improving quality of yearlings being offered at the sale has been matched by the racecourse performance of its graduates, and the introduction of the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes will further enhance the appeal of the sale which has quickly established a reputation as a consistent source of top-class juvenile talent.”

The catalog is online now at www.tattersalls.com and will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives from Wednesday, Aug. 3.
