Tattersalls December Remains On Schedule

The Tattersalls December Sales will take place in Newmarket on their originally planned dates-Nov. 23 through Dec. 3-in accordance with government regulations concerning livestock and horse auctions. The UK will enter its second national lockdown on Thursday and it will run through Dec. 2. The sales will be restricted to those attending in a professional capacity and under strict COVID safety protocols. Live internet and telephone bidding will be available.

“We are delighted and relieved that we have received clarity on this crucial issue and it is clear that the ratified government regulations will allow us to stage the full Tattersalls December Sale on the originally scheduled dates,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “This is a huge relief for the industry and we are enormously grateful that the 2020 bloodstock sales season in Britain can proceed and conclude as planned. The Tattersalls December Sale is an event of global significance within the bloodstock industry and the possibility of wholesale disruption was a deeply worrying prospect for all concerned.

“As we all know, staging bloodstock sales in 2020 has been challenging to say the least. To be able to hold the Tattersalls December Sales on the scheduled dates will be universally welcomed and applauded not only in Britain and Ireland, but by the wider bloodstock industry and we will continue to do our utmost to bring the testing 2020 Tattersalls sales season to as successful a conclusion as possible.”

Floors Stud Dispersal At Tattersalls December

The Tattersalls December Mares Sale will feature a partial dispersal of the stock from the late Duke of Roxburghe’s Floors Stud. The offering of seven mares and seven foals will be consigned by Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber’s Kiltinan Castle Stud.

Floors Stud’s Classic winner and multiple stakes producer Attraction (GB) was in the spotlight at the recent Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, with she and her daughter Cushion (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) both having provided seven-figure colts during Book 1, and two half-sisters to Attraction and their foals feature among the dispersal. Those are the 12-year-old Federation (GB) (Motivator {GB}), in foal to Starspangledbanner (Aus), and her fifth foal, a Lope De Vega (Ire) filly; and the 10-year-old Fusion (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}), who is not in foal. Her Siyouni (Fr) colt foal will also be sold.

Seven-year-old listed-placed Hibiscus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will be an attractive offering as a full-sister to GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Line Of Duty (Ire) and a half to this year’s listed-winning Onassis (Ire) in foal to Siyouni. They are out of the Classic-placed Jacqueline Quest (Ire) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}). Hibiscus has a Lope De Vega colt foal that will be offered.

Twitch (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}) is a Group 3-placed daughter of another Floors foundation mare, Comic (Ire) (Be My Chief), who will be offered in foal to Magna Grecia (Ire). Deep Inside (Fr) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}) is a three-quarter sister to stakes winner and producer Chrysanthemum (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and she is offered carrying her second foal, by Lope De Vega.

Lady Glinka (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) from the family of Sir Percy (GB) will be offered in-foal to Time Test (GB), while Merry Jaunt (Street Sense), a daughter of Grade I winner Light Jig (GB) (Danehill) and a half-sister to Grade I winner Seek Again (Speightstown) will be offered in foal to Night Of Thunder (Ire). Their Zoffany (Ire) filly and Australia (GB) colt, respectively, will also be offered.

The septet of foals are completed by a Time Test filly who is a half-sister to the Group 2-placed Counterclaim (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and an Invincible Spirit (Ire) filly who is closely related to Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).

“The late Duke of Roxburghe was a passionate and hugely successful owner/breeder and left a lasting legacy which was never more obvious than at Book 1 of the recent October Yearling Sales where two of the six Floors yearlings sold for more than one million guineas,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “As with so many dispersals it is tinged with sadness, but we are proud that Tattersalls has been entrusted with the Floors Stud partial dispersal and confident that it will be amongst the highlights of Europe’s premier foal and breeding stock sale.”
