Steel Bull (Ire) | Horse Racing Free Tips

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.

Group 3 winner Steel Bull (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}), owned and trained by Michael O’Callaghan for his first two starts, will contest the Aug. 9 G1 Phoenix S. at The Curragh under new ownership, as he was purchased privately by Chantal Regalado-Gonzalez, Racing Post reported on Monday. The son of Macarthurs Park (Ire) (Equiano {Fr}) will be supplemented to the six-furlong feature. For O’Callaghan, the £28,000 Goffs UK Breeze Up juvenile broke his maiden by 2 1/2 lengths at first asking at Naas on July 22. He followed up in the July 29 G3 Molecomb S. at the Qatar Goodwood Festival to maintain his perfect record and will stay in O’Callaghan’s care.

“Mrs. Regalado-Gonzalez has purchased Steel Bull and the plan is that the horse will run in the Phoenix S. at the weekend,” Regalado-Gonzalez’s racing manager Bill Dwan told Racing Post. “He was very impressive at Naas first time out, winning by 2 ½ lengths, then he backed that up in better company at Goodwood. He did it the hard way in the Molecomb S., so he looks an exciting prospect and please God he can compete at the top level this weekend.

“The [G1] Nunthorpe has also been mentioned, but we’ll take one step at a time. A lot has happened quickly for this horse, so I wouldn’t like to predict too far into the future. After the Phoenix, we’ll let the dust settle and see what the next option is.”
