Tattersalls Somerville Sale Kicks Off on Tuesday

The first edition of the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale, which is the rebranded Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale, will be staged at Park Paddocks on Tuesday. Also held in Newmarket in 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the sale remains geared towards precocious youngsters and the catalogue features 292 lots. Despite its short existence, the sale already has 10 black-type winners just in the last two years, with the leading graduates being G2 Lowther S. victress Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) and G3 Molecomb S. hero Steel Bull (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}). The 2020 edition has yielded a trio of stakes winners amongst its 41 winners thus far: Italian Group 3 winner Windstormblack (GB) (Brazen Beau {Aus}), Royal Ascot listed scorer Chipotle (GB) (Havana Gold {GB}) and Sept. 4 G3 Sirenia S. heroine Eve Lodge (GB) (Ardad {Ire}). The sale begins at 10 a.m.

Miss Amulet Purchased by Coolmore

Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}), who won the G2 Sky Bet Lowther S. last out, has been privately purchased by Michael Tabor and fellow Coolmore partners, Racing Post reported on Tuesday. Previously owned by Colm Griffin, the grey also gained black-type with a win in the Listed Arqana Irish EBF Marwell S. earlier this season. Trained by Ken Condon, Miss Amulet is targetting the G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket on Sept. 26.

“I can confirm that Miss Amulet has been sold outright to Michael Tabor and partners for an undisclosed figure,” Michael Donohoe of BBA Ireland, told Racing Post. “She remains in training with Ken Condon and the plan is to run her in the G1 Cheveley Park S.”

Bred by Ringfort Stud in Ireland and sold for €1,000 as a Goffs November foal, Miss Amulet was selected by Donohoe as a yearling for 7,143gns at the Tattersalls September Yearling Sale. Out of Shena’s Dream (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Miss Amulet’s extended family includes French highweight and GI Arlington Million hero Mill Native (Exclusive Native), MGSW and G1 French 2000 Guineas runner-up French Stress (Sham), French Group 3 winner Sporades (Vaguely Noble {Ire}) and GI Frank E. Kilroe Mile S. victor Willyconker (Ire) (Pyrus).

Added Condon, “She’s had a very good season and the plan remains the Cheveley Park, which we’re all looking forward to. Hopefully she’s as lucky for her new owners as she has been for her previous owner, who I know thought long and hard about selling her. He’s had a great journey with her and he wishes the new owners luck.”

Sir Prancealot’s Miss Amulet Prevails In the Lowther

Having beaten Frenetic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in the Listed Marwell S. over five furlongs at Naas Aug. 3, Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) was one of the main contenders for Thursday’s G2 Sky Bet Lowther S. at York and she lived up to the billing when holding off Sacred (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in a pulsating finale. Always prominent, the 15-2 shot was marginally ahead approaching the furlong pole before being joined by that 15-8 favourite soon after. Pulling out extra for James Doyle in the run to the line, the latest juvenile talent from the Ken Condon stable had a length to spare over that G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up at the line, with Umm Kulthum (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) 3 1/4 lengths behind in third.
