End of an Era as Newsells Park Stud Offers Shastye’s Last Colt

“We're in the home straight,” says Julian Dollar and, though the long-term manager of Newsells Park Stud is all too aware that the home straights that matter are those on racecourses around the world, for his team it's all about getting the crop of 2022 to the yearling sales in great shape. So, as the wagons roll to transport those youngsters from Royston to Newmarket, it's a home straight of a kind, with the winning post this week being that famous ring at Tattersalls.

No matter the experience of the folk behind the yearlings for sale, there is always a degree of trepidation in the build-up, and at Book 1 of the October Yearling Sale the stakes are perhaps higher than anywhere else. For the last five years straight, and for a number of other editions of the sale before that, Newsells Park Stud has been the leading vendor at Book 1, with that success maintained throughout the sale of the stud in 2021 to Graham Smith-Bernal by the Jacobs family. This year's draft of 31 looks as strong as ever.

A chapter will be closed on Tuesday on an extraordinary run at Tattersalls for the great mare Shastye (Ire) (Danehill), the dam of Group 1 winners Japan (Ire) and Mogul (Ire), Group 2 winner Secret Gesture (Ire) and Group 3 winner Sir Isaac Newton (Ire), all of whom are by Galileo (Ire). Shastye died last year after at the age of 21 foaling a colt by Dubawi (Ire), who sells as lot 96. A May foal, he will have plenty of hopes resting on his bay shoulders considering not just the racecourse performances of his half-siblings but also their sale-ring records: eight of Shastye's offspring have previously sold at Tattersalls for a collective 14,430,000gns.

“I don't think we'll ever find another one like her,” says Dollar of Shastye. “Obviously that was quite emotional for all of us last year when she produced the Dubawi colt. It was just great to see them both out in the nursery paddock on that first day, and they looked so happy. And then suddenly we got a call that all was not well. She was haemorrhaging and we lost her, and it was a really sad day.

He adds, “But she left us with a lovely Dubawi colt, and he was always the apple of Graham's eye. He actually did some hand-feeding, giving him a bottle for a few sessions. So he quickly made a bond with the colt and I never thought actually he could bear to part with him, but sensibly, he's a businessman, and we are taking him to the sales.”

Newsells Park's flagship stallion Nathaniel (Ire) is represented by three yearlings in Book 1, with the colt in the Newsells draft being a brother to the 2022 Derby winner Desert Crown (GB), bred by Gary Robinson, and consigned as lot 316 on Wednesday.

“We've got a couple of very nice fillies by Nathaniel in Book 2 that could arguably be in Book 1,” Dollar says. “But this colt is a very good-looking horse, very good mover. I like him a lot and he's been entrusted to us through Gary Robinson's Strawberry Fields Stud, who asked us if we'd take him on in January. So we've had him with us for a while, and he's a nice person, and nice to do anything with. Hopefully he'll be well received.”

Earlier on Wednesday, the stud will offer a Kingman (GB) half-brother to another of its resident stallions, Without Parole (GB), on behalf of breeders John and Tanya Gunther. Without Parole himself has his first yearlings for sale this year, including three in Book 1, while Newsells Park will offer two by him in Book 2, both of whom are half-brothers to stakes winners.

“The Without Parole foals were very well received and we hope the yearlings will be as well. Those that we've got have really developed well from foals to yearlings. They're very much like their dad, which is good. They've got great minds and they're really easy to work with and very trainable,” he says.

“Sadly, it was a tough year for us last year, because not only did we lose Shastye, but we also lost [Without Parole's dam] Without You Babe. So both Shastye's and Without You Babe's foals were brought up by foster mares and I don't know if it's a result of that, but they've both got the most incredible temperaments.”

Despite Andreas Jacobs of Gestut Fahrhof no longer being directly involved with Newsells Park Stud, he still has an association in that he is selling two smart yearlings in the farm's draft in Book 1.

“The vast majority of the yearlings are born and bred here,” Dollar says. “We always have a couple of guests, if you like. It's nice to keep a strong relationship with Andreas Jacobs, and he's entrusted us with two yearlings this year, a colt by Wootton Bassett [lot 179], who's very classy, and a very well-bred Mehmas filly [lot 520] whose two half-siblings, the only two other foals that the mare has had, are stakes winner. She's hit the board in spectacular style twice.”

He continues, “We've also always had a link with Al Shahania, and they've selling a cracking Siyouni colt out of Vorda [lot 178]. He's everything you'd want a Siyouni to look like, for me. And then there's Sea The Moon colt out of Teppal [lot 147] is what who is a big, strong, scopey horse with a lot of class.

“But otherwise, pretty much everything else is bred on the farm. And we have that confidence that we know the mares. We know their other progeny. We know these progeny from day one. And when people ask us about them, we can tell them with confidence what they're like. It helps.”

On that theme, Dollar admits that, although almost the entire Newsells Park yearling crop is at the sales over the next few weeks, there is the potential for the operation to race more homebreds in future.

He says, “We always had to make a profit if we possibly could, and look after our bottom line. And we still do have to do that, of course we do. Graham expects us to do that as much as we possibly can but I think there is more scope for Newsells to race fillies especially. We're prepared to put confidence behind them and race them. I'm not saying what we've done in the past has been wrong, because we've been lucky enough to buy some nice mares, Shastye among them, Yummy Mummy and others. But there is a big advantage in understanding families, and putting those horses into training with the right trainers. Obviously, operations like Juddmonte are brilliant. Having those families going back generations, understanding those families, putting them with trainers who also trained that family for generations, has a big advantage. And I'd like to see us developing a few more of our families. I know Graham very much feels that way.”

Despite admitting to being a “pessimist at heart”, Dollar has drawn some encouragement from results from the first half of the European yearling sales.

“Arqana read like a very strong sale,” he says. “Donny was okay, Baden-Baden was okay. We sold a couple of horses in Somerville, which I'd never done before, but the traffic through Somerville was extraordinary. Over the years, we've always seen that the prices at the top remain strong, and we've always felt that if we want to play in this business, commercially, we've got to be playing at the top level because that's where the big money is.”

He continues, “But this is the most amazing business, isn't it? You sort of scratch your head and think, well, how is this happening? A year ago we'd just lost Her Majesty the Queen, and I always felt that our business was almost held together by a 90-odd-year-old lady. But you turn it around, nine months later, and the King and Queen are at Royal Ascot and they have a winner, and there's huge warmth for them both, and then they turned up at Doncaster for the St Leger, and had a live contender who ran a great race, and they seemed to be really enjoying it. And suddenly you think, well, we're still going strong, and everybody still loves and appreciates racing in this country.

“We still have the best racing, and we still seem to breeding some extraordinary good horses. So long may it continue. And while it does, I think we're going to be the focus of buyers from all over the globe. I'd love us not to be such an export market. In the long run, I don't think that's good. But it is where we are at the moment, and I'd rather have that than nobody be interested in buying our stock.

“But as long as we've got top-class stallions, and as long as we've got fellow breeders of the quality of Juddmonte, Cheveley Park, et cetera, we're in pretty good shape.”

Newsells Park Stud’s Blue Hen Shastye Dies After Foaling

By Brian Sheerin

Newsells Park Stud manager Julian Dollar has led the tributes to the multiple Group 1-producing Shastye (Ire) (Danehill), who has died at the age of 21 shortly after giving birth to a Dubawi (Ire) colt on Sunday.

The dam of five individual black-type performers, including Group 1-winning brothers by Galileo (Ire), Japan (GB) and Mogul (GB), who are now stallions, the progeny of Shastye have been sensational on the track and in the sales ring.

Described by Dollar as “one of the most inspirational and life-changing horses” he has ever been associated with, Shastye's progeny fetched over £15 million at public auction and they also delivered where it mattered most.

Japan, a 1.3m guineas yearling, famously put Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) to the sword in the 2019 G1 Juddmonte International at York a month after winning the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp.

Mogul, who fetched 3.4m guineas as a yearling, also won the Grand Prix de Paris in 2020 and bolstered Shastye's reputation as a Group-1 producing phenomenon by snaring the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin in 2020.

Dollar said, “Many an hour has been spent with Shastye or her progeny. Often because they were special, and you often knew you were in the presence of something special, but mostly because Shastye was just such a lovely mare and such a pleasure to be around. She was the best therapy any man could have and I already know I owe her more than I will ever realise.”

Shastye, a half-sister to the 1998 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triompohe winner Sagamix (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}), was a dual winner and was placed at Listed level when in training with John Gosden. She was bought by Klaus J Jacobs and John Warren as a 4-year-old at the Tattersalls December Sale in 2005 for 625,000gns and almost single-handedly put Newsells Park Stud back on the map after it was renovated by the Jacobs family in 2000.

Her terrific relationship with Galileo, highlighted by Japan and Mogul, was the overriding theme of her brilliant career as a broodmare.

Sir Isaac Newton, the top-priced colt when sold for a whopping 3.6m guineas at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2013, was also by Galileo, as was while Secret Gesture, who finished second in the Oaks at Epsom in 2013 and was controversially demoted to third after finishing first past the post in the Beverly D S. at Arlington Park in 2015. She later sold for $3.5 million at Keeneland's November Sale to John Ferguson.

The ink may not have run dry on the story behind Shastye's progeny by Galileo as Skylark (GB), who was knocked down for 3.4m guineas in 2020, is in training with Aidan O'Brien and, while she has yet to grace the track, holds Group 1 entries.

Shastye was said to have succumbed quickly and peacefully after hemorrhaging following the birth of her Dubawi colt. She leaves behind her a legacy and record that will be hard to match, and Dollar counts himself lucky to have been associated with such a renowned producer of top-notch talent.

He said, “She was wonderful for the stud and we wished she could have lived forever but it just wasn't to be. One of the things I was most proud of was how fantastic she looked. She was just the most special mare and a lot of us at Newsells feel we owe a lot to her. I feel like I owe her a huge amount. Not only to get the stud going for the Jacobs family and kept us going when but she was also one of our best adverts when it came to selling the stud.”

Asked if there was a particular highlight during his long and successful association with Newsells Park's blue hen, Dollar added: “There were lots of highlights and obviously going for the Oaks with Secret Gesture as part owners with Qatar Racing Ltd was great but, in a funny way, the day John Warren, who was an agent for the Jacobs family at the time, came to see Sir Isaac Newton as a yearling stands out. It was about three weeks before the yearling sales and he looked at him for some time. I remember him asking us if we had him insured. When we told him that we hadn't he said that we better do so and not for anything less than a million pounds.

“We went to the sales with huge expectations and he really stood out as an excellent specimen. We expected him to make over one million, we never had a horse to make over a million, but we fully expected him to make that. We had every indication that it was going to happen but, when he made 3.6 million guineas, we were blown away. I was standing next to Andreas Jacobs and we were pretty amazed by it all and gave each other a big hug. He said to me 'my Dad would be so proud.' Even though it was a sale and not a race, it was a very special moment, and it was the first time I experienced taking a horse through the ring that made over a million, let alone what he made.”

A statement released by Newsells Park Stud on Monday read, “The exploits of [Shastye's] progeny, most notably formed from her wonderful partnership with the extraordinary Galileo, gave us all the most unforgettable moments, whether they came amid the silence of a hushed sales ring, or accompanied by the roar of the crowd at Epsom, York, Longchamp or Sha Tin.

“When Newsells Park Stud was put up for sale at the end of 2020, it was Shastye that stood out more than any other mare to prove what was achievable. Shastye put Newsells Park Stud back on the map, made the stud commercially successful and helped to attract a new, considerate, enthusiastic and passionate owner in Graham Smith-Bernal to take on the custodianship of the stud for another generation. Rest in peace you wonderful, wonderful lady.”

Mogul Joins Coolmore National Hunt Roster

Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}-Shastye {Ire}, by Danehill), winner of the G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. at two and the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G1 Hong Kong Vase at three, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at The Beeches Stud in 2022 under the Coolmore National Hunt banner. He will stand for €4,000.

Among those that Mogul beat in his top-level wins were the G1 Deutsches Derby scorer and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe runner-up In Swoop (Ger), who he will stand alongside at The Beeches; G1 Epsom Derby winner Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Hong Kong Horse of the Year Exultant (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). A 3.4-million gns yearling, Mogul is out of Newsells Park Stud's excellent producer Shastye and is a full-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Japan (GB)-who goes to stud next year at Gestut Etzean-and the Group 2-winning and multiple Classic-placed Secret Gesture (GB).

“As you'd expect of a horse who cost 3.4-million gns as a yearling, Mogul is a very-impressive looking individual with a great walk and an outstanding pedigree,” said Robert McCarthy. “His dam has produced five black-type horses and there are six Group 1 winners under his first two dams. And of course, like Frankel, he's bred on that great Galileo/Danehill cross. We are very excited to have himself, In Swoop and Santiago all joining the Coolmore roster for 2022.”

New Face, Same Philosophies For Top Tatts Vendor

Newsells Park Stud has become one of the most steadfast sights of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale-being, as it has, leading vendor at Book 1 for the past three years, and five of the past eight years–and while many of the familiar faces behind the stud remain the same, it has in fact undergone some significant changes this year, with entrepreneur Graham Smith-Bernal having purchased Newsells Park in June from the Jacobs family.

Not that Newsells Park is new at all to Smith-Bernal-he had been a client of the stud for a handful of years, boarding his small broodmare band there before the opportunity came along to expand his bloodstock interests in a major way.

“Fortunately, Graham had enjoyed being an owner at Newsells because he decided to buy the stud when the opportunity came along,” said Newsells General Manager Julian Dollar. “That was very fortunate. He's a very nice guy, he's incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about it, which is so important.”

Newsells Park has a storied history that dates back to 1086, and the Newsells that we know today was incorporated by Klaus Jacobs in 2000. Jacobs's German influence is still very much prevalent in the bloodstock that emanates from the stud today, and Dollar noted that Smith-Bernal and his wife, Marcela, have become fully immersed in the experience.

“Graham and Marcela have became enchanted with Newsells Park–the grounds, the paddocks and the land–and they're spending a lot of time here, which is wonderful,” he said. “They really enjoy that additional benefit of the place; not just the horses and the fact that it's a business, but they're enjoying that it's a beautiful place to live. They've really embraced the stud and everything about it.”

Smith-Bernal stressed in a TDN interview in June that he is not looking to reinvent the highly successful wheel when it comes to Newsells Park, but that he is keen to explore branching out into other areas, in particular breeding and racing partnerships.

“I know he is interested in partnerships and I think he has a lot of friends and acquaintances that have been investors with him along the way in his businesses, and they're keen to support and they're interested in racing and breeding,” Dollar said. “A lot of them have been to see Newsells and really enjoyed that. I think there is a possibility that will happen, but there is no firm deadline. It might happen this year, it might wait until next year.

“While Graham continues to get his feet under the desk and understand the place, things remain pretty much as before. He'll gently tweak things as he goes along based on what he enjoys and what he'd like to see the stud do. He loves his racing and he'll be around to enjoy his racing so there is maybe the possibility that we'll be able to retain a couple more fillies than we have in the past. I think we all see partnerships as something quite important to the future, so I could see that happening and he's enthusiastic to welcome friends, acquaintances and business investors into that.”

The first order of business, however, will be the Tattersalls October yearling sales, and for Book 1 alone Newsells Park brings 29 yearlings, 19 of which are siblings to stakes horses and 19 of which are out of stakes mares.

Newsells's commercial star during the past decade-a reputation that has been upheld by her progeny on the racecourse-has certainly been Shastye (Ire) (Danehill), the dam of Group 1 winners Japan (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) (1.3-million gns) and Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) (3.4-million gns), G2 Middleton S. winner and triple Oaks runner-up Secret Gesture (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), G3 International S. winner Sir Isaac Newton (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) (3.6-million gns) and listed winner Maurus (GB) (Medicean {GB}). Shastye's current 2-year-old filly by Galileo (Ire), now named Skylark (GB), cost MV Magnier 3.4-million gns at Book 1 last year, and while the mare doesn't have a yearling or foal of 2021, two of her daughters feature with yearlings in the Newsells consignment.

Dollar noted that 20-year-old Shastye was scanned in foal to Dubawi early in the season, and she has an important scan in the coming weeks.

“We have three daughters of Shastye, which is wonderful,” Dollar said. “Shastye is going to be checked next week; last year we scanned 95 mares on the stud for the October 1 checks and 94 of them were in foal, so it was a bit sad that the one that wasn't in foal was probably the most important mare that we have on the stud, Shastye. But she is, we hope, back in foal to Dubawi and I hope that we might get one, if not two, more babies out of her. She looks fantastic, she is getting on these days but she doesn't look like an old mare–she looks 15, 16 tops. She looks great and I'm hopeful we could get one or two more.”

Lot 260 is a Lope De Vega (Ire) filly and the first foal out of Shastye's daughter Secret Gaze, who cost Qatar Bloodstock 1.35-million gns at Book 1 in 2016. Secret Gaze didn't make it to the racetrack, and her first foal is bred by Qatar Bloodstock in partnership with Newsells Park.

“Secret Gaze probably reminds me the most of Shastye,” Dollar said. “She had some problems in training as a 2-year-old and never really overcame those. This is her first foal, and there's lots of mum and plenty of dad in her. People that have seen her on the farm seem to like her, and I like her; she has a good step to her and an honest way about her. She just wants to please and she's been a delight to do anything with. But that's the whole family.”

Following Secret Gaze's filly through the ring as lot 261 is a Kingman (GB) filly who is the third foal out of Secret Sense, a winning daughter of Shastye.

“Secret Sense is a proper, big Shamardal mare and this girl is rather magnificent,” Dollar said. “She has a great way about her, a great step to her and a great character.”

There will be few individuals at Park Paddocks on Thursday morning around 11 a.m. under as much pressure as Dollar will be, as Newsells sends the first three lots of the day through the ring, and four of the first 10.

“It's going to be a bit of a nightmare,” Dollar admitted, but, as far as nightmares go, even he would admit it is more of a daydream considering the quality of those four yearlings. First up is lot 336, a Dubawi (Ire) half-sister to the 2019 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and four-time Group 1 scorer Waldgeist (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) as well as the group winners Waldlied (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) and Waldkonig (GB) (Kingman {GB}) out of the G3 Prix Penelope scorer Waldlerche (GB) Monsun {Ger}). Waldlied's first foal, a colt by Kingman (GB), is next up as lot 337, while lot 338 is a Sea The Stars (Ire) colt out of the German listed winner Waldnah (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), who is a half-sister to Waldlerche. Lot 346 is John and Tanya Gunther's full-brother to G1 St James's Palace S. winner and young Newsells sire Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}).

The three 'W' family yearlings are extra special to Newsells as they descend from Waldmark (Ger) (Mark Of Esteem {Ire}), who was bought as a foal by Klaus Jacobs and was the first horse he purchased for Newsells after buying the stud in 2000.

“It's nice for us now to have developed a couple generations of that family,” Dollar said. “We haven't always had the opportunity to do that because we've been so commercial.”

Newsells raced Waldlerche, the fifth foal out of the Classic-producing Waldmark, in partnership with Deitrich von Boetticher's Gestut Ammerland, and they too teamed up with Waldgeist, who was her first foal, and are co-breeders of the mare's Dubawi filly.

“What I think is so interesting about this mare is that every foal she produces has a bit of her and a bit of the stallion,” Dollar said. “This filly is absolutely no exception. She's probably one of the stronger fillies that this mare has produced. She's very much Dubawi– very strong, powerfully built, a very tidy model–and yet you have mum's colour, head, and a lot of mum's characteristics.

“She does have a very good mind; we know Waldlerche throws horses with very good temperaments, otherwise they wouldn't be good racehorses, and Dubawi is extraordinary for the temperament he passes on. We own her in partnership, but we felt we had to disperse the partnership; Dietrich wasn't particularly keen to race her because he might be cutting back a bit. We'll be there to support her; we're not going to let a filly like that just go, but she might be too valuable for us to race, unfortunately.”

Waldlied is the second foal out of Waldlerche, and though her record reads well as the winner of the G2 Prix de Malleret in only four starts, Dollar said there is more than what meets the eye.

“She won the Prix de Malleret but if you watch it she won it in a canter,” Dollar said. “The jockey didn't move and she won by four or five lengths. I know Andre Fabre thought the world of her and he thought she was a filly we'd supplement to the Arc that year. We didn't because sadly she did a tendon and never came back from that.”

Dollar admitted Waldlied's Kingman colt, likewise bred in partnership with Ammerland, will not be on the lists for those shopping for a Royal Ascot 2-year-old.

“This guy is a big, strong horse; he's magnificent,” Dollar said. “I think he has some x-factor about him. He's not going to be winning a Royal Ascot 2-year-old race, that's for sure, but hopefully his future is more exciting than that as a 3-year-old.

“If you think about who is the best or the second-best son of Kingman, you'd have to say it's Persian King. We have Persian King's dam here and I know what Persian King looked like, and they're not dissimilar. He wouldn't be beautiful, but he's a rather fine, handsome horse and he has a great athletic step on him. To be fair, if I showed you the mare you'd understand the yearling a bit better. She's about 17 hands, she's very long and in deference to her–she is the most lovely person so I couldn't be rude about her– but she doesn't have the prettiest noggin, as they'd say in America. She's the most lovely character you could ever deal with, but she's not pretty.”

Lot 338, the Sea The Stars colt out of Waldnah, has had a few important updates since the catalogue was printed; the mare's first two foals, both sons of Le Havre (Ire), have won, with the 2-year-old Wanees (GB) an exciting prospect for Shadwell, which bought him for 325,000gns at Tattersalls last year. Wanees broke his maiden at Ascot on Sept. 4 and followed up in a Salisbury novice race last Thursday.

“The Waldnah/Sea The Stars is a lovely horse,” Dollar said. “They think quite a bit of the 2-year-old, Wanees, who is with Charlie Hills. We are very passionate about that family. We wanted to get a Le Havre filly out of the mare, we tried twice but we didn't get lucky. Sea The Stars is a mating we really wanted to try, too.”

Dollar and the Newsells team won't have much time to digest the results of the 'W' yearlings before another of their big-ticket offerings enters the ring, the full-brother to Without Parole, who is the ninth foal out of the Gunthers' Without You Babe (Lemon Drop Kid), who has also produced the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner and young sire Tamarkuz (Speightstown) as well as the American listed winner and Grade III-placed She's Got You (GB) (Kingman {GB}). Without You Babe's most recent progeny to see a sales ring was her 2018 Dubawi colt, who was bought by Kevin Ryan on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid for 1-million gns at this sale.

“He's just a beast,” Dollar said of Without Parole's full-brother. “He's not as beautiful as Without Parole-Without Parole is just such a lovely looking horse. But he's magnificent. He's incredibly strong. He looks very much like an American turf horse. I'd be amazed if the guys coming over from the States didn't zoom in on him.”

Without Parole won the St James's Palace S. while unbeaten in 2018. He joined Chad Brown in the States as a 4-year-old and while he didn't manage to pick up another win, he did place in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile at four and the GI Shoemaker Mile and GI Shadwell Turf Mile at five despite meeting trouble in running on numerous occasions. He stood his first season at Newsells Park this year, covering just shy of 100 mares for £10,000 apiece.

“He's been well received, not really surprisingly,” Dollar said. “He's a Group 1-winning miler by Frankel, who looks like he might be the horse to succeed Galileo, if any horse ever could really succeed Galileo.”

Fifteen yearlings by Galileo grace Book 1, and Newsells Park offers a filly by the late, great champion sire (lot 365) who is the first foal out of the G2 Duke Of Cambridge and G3 Atalanta S. scorer Aljazzi (GB) (Shamardal), who Newsells bought for 1-million gns from the Tattersalls Autumn Horses-in-Training Sale of 2018.

“The Galileo filly is an absolute belter, she's just lovely,” Dollar said. “She's beautifully balanced, walks beautifully and looks a real racehorse.”

Dollar also nominated a Dubawi filly who is the first foal out of German Group 3 winner Peace In Motion (Hat Trick {Jpn}) as being “very special.” Newsells offers five fillies on behalf of Al Shahania Stud, including a Dubawi filly out of G2 Diana Trial winner Longina (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) (lot 127), and a Siyouni (Fr) colt for that breeder out of G1 Cheveley Park S. winner and stakes producer Vorda (Fr) (Orpen) (lot 333).

“They're exceptionally nice horses, a very strong, level bunch with a few extra special ones,” said Dollar of the draft. Referring to Newsells's sale-topping filly out of Shastye last year, he added modestly, “I don't have a 3.4-million guineas filly, but we have some lovely horses. I just hope they all go there in one piece and that there are enough people there that like them and want to buy them and that our clients are happy with the prices they make. It's a nerve-wracking time and I'm always a bit anxious about these things, but I'm hopeful.”
