Tattersalls Cheltenham Autumn Fixtures Changed

Tattersalls Cheltenham will not be hosting the rest of its 2020 sales fixtures at Cheltenham Racecourse due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the Cheltenham November Sale will take place at Fairyhouse in Ireland on Nov. 12. Park Paddocks will host the Cheltenham December Sale on Dec. 3 and there will be an alternative Cheltenham December Sale back at Fairyhouse on Dec. 17. The Oct. 23 Tattersalls Cheltenham October Sale has been cancelled.

“Whilst we naturally look forward to returning to Cheltenham Racecourse as soon as restrictions allow, this solution offers vendors and purchasers the best available opportunities to trade in Ireland and the UK in what are difficult circumstances,” said Tattersalls Cheltenham Head Matthew Prior.

Midnight Bisou to be Evaluated by Bramlage

According to a tweet from co-owner Jeff Bloom, Eclipse Award-winner Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute) has been sent to Dr. Larry Bramlage to be evaluated after a four-furlong workout in 50.15 seconds Monday at Saratoga.

“Midnight Bisou had an easy routine maintenance breeze this morning at Saratoga. Our champion mare was a bit ‘off’ after cooling out. Out of an abundance of caution she will be sent to Dr. Larry Bramlage in Lexington, KY for a full evaluation,” Bloom wrote.

She was being pointed to the Oct. 4 GI Spinster S. at Keeneland.

As of deadline for this story, Bloom had not returned a phone call seeking more information on her status or whether or not she is still considered a candidate for the GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff.

After finishing second against males in the Saudi Cup, Midnight Bisou returned home to win the GII Fleur de Lis S. and finish second in the GI Personal Ensign S.

New Goffs P2P Sale Set for Nov. 6

The inaugural November P2P Sale, scheduled for Nov. 6, was announced by Goffs on Monday. The sale will offer Irish and UK pointers, as well as bumper horses and young horses with form at either Kildare Paddocks in Ireland or the Doncaster Sales Complex in the UK, depending on COVID-19 restrictions.

“With the latter part of 2019-20 point-to-point season cancelled, as well as our highly successful Aintree and Punchestown Sales, we have been working to find a solution to get our P2P sales back up and running,” said Goffs Group Chiev Executive Henry Beeby. “Handlers too are very keen to see a return of P2P sales and this new date sits well with the commencement of P2Ps this coming autumn.”
