Excelebration Colt Tops Rescheduled Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale

Two lots sold for 100,000 guineas (US$132,471) or more at the postponed Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale. Alan King and Highflyer Bloodstock secured the top lot whilst 13 lots sold for 50,000 guineas (US$66,250) or more.

Highflyer Bloodstock's Anthony Bromley and trainer Alan King have been long standing supporters of the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale and the pair purchased four lots at this year's renewal for 258,000 guineas (US$341,854) including the sale topping Excelebration colt at 140,000 guineas (US$185,510).

“We don't go on times, but unfortunately he did a good time which increased interest in him, and pushed his price,” said Bromley. “We just like to look at them as individuals, their strides and general way of going.”

“This is the horse we really wanted and we had to really push the boat out to get him,” added the agent.

King, fresh from his three-timer at Royal Ascot, added: “Delighted and he is for two long-standing supporters of the yard in Max McNeill and Niall Farrell.”

The colt, who is out of the Mark of Esteem mare Open Book, was consigned by Meadowview Stables who purchased him at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale for just 18,000 euros (US$20,405).

Dolmen Bloodstock, the partnership of Justin Timmons and Danny O'Donovan, were celebrating after their Make Believe filly out of Olivia Pope was knocked down for 105,000 guineas (US$139,134) to Blandford Bloodstock's Richard Brown after he saw off the efforts of David Redvers. The filly received a significant boost on the weekend when her sire's son Mishriff won the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club.

“It was massive!” commented Timmons on the classic victory on Sunday.

“She has an engine and we were very happy with her breeze. She has been very busy, but it is always hard to gauge,” said Timmons. “We had the right people on her.”

The Kildare-based Dolmen Bloodstock team enjoyed a mighty pinhooking touch, having purchased the filly out of the mare Olivia Pope for just 10,000 euros (US$11,335) at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale.

At the conclusion of the 2020 Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“In the current climate we are all looking to accentuate the positives and I think we can reflect on solid if unspectacular trade at this year's renewal of the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up. This is, however, a year where 'solid if unspectacular' is a positive outcome and we would like to thank all those who have participated at today's sale for their contribution. The buyers have worked incredibly hard and the Breeze Up consignors have had to endure uniquely difficult conditions in the run up to the 2020 breeze up sales season, but ultimately everyone can look back on sales which have largely exceeded expectations.

“It has been challenging staging events of this nature with the prevailing COVID related regulations still in place but, despite continued travel restrictions, today's Guineas Breeze Up has seen demand from throughout the world including Australia, Bahrain, Dubai, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Kuwait, Qatar and Spain. The international demand has been accompanied by spirited bidding from the domestic British and Irish buyers and has resulted in some notable pinhooking successes, while the overseas buyers have made use of every possible means at their disposal to participate in the sale, including extensive use of our new live internet bidding platform as well as telephone bidding. It is a tribute to the resilience of the global bloodstock market that we continue to experience this level of international demand and we expect to see further widespread use of the live internet bidding platform at our two-day July Sale which commences tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.”
