Auctav Winter Breeding Catalogues Online

The Winter Breeding Sale catalogues, featuring lots from all disciplines, was unveiled by Auctav on Wednesday. Held on Thursday, Dec. 1, beginning at 11 a.m., the Auctav Winter Breeding Stock Sale of Stallion Shares features stallion shares and breeding rights of trotters, National Hunt and Flat stallions. Lot 4 is a half-share in three-time Group 1 winner Persian King (Ire), while there is also a breeding right in G1 Irish Derby hero Latrobe (Ire) as lot 5.

Later on Dec. 1 beginning at 4 p.m., there will also be the Auctav Winter Breeding Stock Sale, featuring fillies and mares. Some of the stallions represented by in foal mares include Zelzal (Fr) and Wooded (Ire).

Arnaud Angeliaume, Auctav General Manager, said, “It is a great satisfaction to have gathered all those lots. Having an “open” sale was essential to us to avoid overloading an already dense calendar. It is a date that we want to keep for the long term. Auctav and online sales have significant advantages for this type of sale because the broodmares avoid travel and all the health risks that go with it. We care about the health and well-being of those who are the industry's future.”

Tattersalls Ascot July Sale Topped By Resilience

Aclaim (Ire)'s Resilience (GB) (lot 55) topped the one-day Tattersalls Ascot July Sale on Tuesday. The 3-year-old gelding, consigned by Mill House Racing, Ltd., was snapped up by Nick Bradley Racing bidding online for £60,000. Rated 85, he won over five furlongs at Windsor in June for previous trainer Tony Carroll, who had bought Resilience originally for 20,000gns out of the Tattersalls February Sale.

Bradley, who was at Beverley races with two runners, said, “He has been bought to go to new trainer Craig Lister, who is based near York.

“Craig was at the sale and looked at our short list. This horse is a real speed ball and is qualified for the Windsor £75,000 series. We might start him off at Goodwood over five furlongs in a race for 3-year-olds rated 0-95. Further down the line he could be one for races like the Epsom Dash.

“Craig is in need of Saturday horses and this could be one.”

The second dearest lot on the day was Crush And Run (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) (lot 45), who sold for £38,000 to Al Jasra Stud. Consigned by Weathercock House Stables, he has won once over the all-weather at Lingfield in February and is a half-brother to listed winner Primo Uomo (Ire) (Strategic Prince {GB}).

“Crush And Run might run once or twice more in the UK and then will ship to Qatar,” said Ahmad Kobeissi, the father of Newmarket trainer Hilal Kobeissi. “The boys liked him and he looks the sort to go on faster ground and cope with the sharp tracks.”

Headed for the jumping sphere, Jimmy Fyffe picked up Vintage Valley (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) (lot 22) for £32,000. Lightly raced with only three starts to his name for Andrew Balding's Park House Stables, the grey gelding is rated 65 and is from the family of G3 Lillie Langtry Fillies' S. heroine Gravitation (GB) (Galileo {Ire}).

“I have a number of jumpers for this upcoming season and I wanted a 3-year-old to go juvenile hurdling,” said Fyffe, who was bidding online. “I watched this horse's races online and he looks as though a bit of softer ground will suit. Andrew Balding recommended him highly, and he goes now to Donald McCain. He looks a scopey type and hopefully he can jump.”

Of the 77 lots offered, 70 sold (91%) for a gross of £468,000. The average was £6,686 and the median was £3,200. This was the first Ascot July Sale conducted since 2019 due to the covid pandemic.

French Flat Jockeys’ Championship Timetable Changed For 2022/23

The rules were changed for the timetable of the 2022 French Flat jockeys' championship, the Cravache d'Or, with the Association des Jockeys Executive Committee validating the advisory vote in favour of a date change on Friday. Originally, the valid dates for the Flat championship were from Jan. 1-Dec. 31st, but beginning in 2022, the Cravache d'Or will begin on Mar. 1st and end on Oct. 30th. The other French jockeys' championships-the Cravache d'Or obstacle for National Hunt jockeys and the Etrier d'Or for apprentices will remain Jan. 1-Dec. 31. The new system is considered a transitional measure for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, while the jockeys will be consulted again in the future after the implementation of the date change.
