Record Clearance, As Ulysses Mare Tops Tattersalls Online

The winning mare Julia Augusta (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) (lot 15) topped the Tattersalls Online April Sale when selling to Jimmy Chua for 72,000gns on Wednesday during a sale noted for its record clearance of 76%.

Offered by Roger Varian's Carlburg Stables, the 5-year-old mare has won twice–once each on turf and the all-weather–and was fourth in the Listed Snowdrop Fillies' S. at Kempton last Saturday. From the family of Poet's Word (Ire) (Poet's Voice {GB}), she is out of a half-sister to the dam of GIII Chicago S. winner Abby Hatcher (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}).

A yearling filly by Mehmas (Ire) (lot 55) came in second on the buyers' sheet when making 45,000gns on the bid of Kingthorn Racing. A half-sister to the G2 Superlative S. and GIII Quick Call S. third Neverland Rock (GB) (No Nay Never), the Baroda Stud-consigned bay is a granddaughter of multiple group winner Jessica's Dream (Ire) (Desert Style {Ire}), herself the dam of G1 Prix Jean Prat hero and Group 1 sire Havana Gold (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}).

Another two lots cleared 25,000gns–a yearling son of Admire Moon (Jpn) (lot 58), also from Baroda Stud, caught the eye of R T Goodes at 35,000gns. Rounding out the top four was Laafy (Noble Mission {GB}) (lot 17), who was consigned by Whitewall Stables and brought 27,000gns from Brian Ellison.

Padraic Gahan of Baroda Stud, which was the leading vendor at the sale with 13 yearlings sold of 13 offered, said, “We are pleased with our consignment at the Tattersalls Online April Sale. It is great that all 13 of our yearlings sold and we would like to wish their purchasers luck with them be that for re-offering in the Autumn, at the breeze-up sales or on the racecourse. Particular thanks to the teams at Castlebridge, Castlehyde Stud and Ecurie des Monceaux for their assistance in bringing these to the market.”

Of the 62 horses offered, 47 were marked as sold for a gross of 427,100gns. The median was 4,200gns and the average was 9,087gns.

Eavesdropping Claims Top Spot at Tattersalls Online February Sale

Eavesdropping (GB) (Kayf Tara {GB}) (lot 47), a two-time winner over hurdles, brought a sale-topping price of 24,000gns at the close of the Tattersalls Online February Sale on Thursday.

Consigned by trainer Olly Murphy's Warren Chase Stables, Eavesdropping is a full-sister to the talented hurdler Butch (GB), who will be bidding for a fourth straight victory when he lines up in the G2 Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock on Saturday, February 17. The eight-year-old Eavesdropping was sold to Whitson Bloodstock who were acting on a positive recommendation from the mare's trainer.

Following the sale, Murphy said, “Eavesdropping has been bought by my father and uncle to go to the breeding paddocks. Obviously, I have Butch, the full-brother, at home who is favourite for the Grade 2 on Saturday. She was a filly we were keen to have back if possible and she's made a nice price for her owners, Deva Racing.”

Murphy also consigned the top lot from the horses-in-training section of the sale when wildcard entry Macanudo (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) (lot 84) sold to Ian Williams for 21,000gns. Manacudo was a late addition to the catalogue after opening his account at Chelmsford last week and Murphy was able to celebrate a job well done with a three-year-old he'd only had in his care since October.

“Macanudo was bought for 9,000gns at Tattersalls last October,” Murphy explained. “He has won a race and doubled his price tag so we're delighted. My father and uncle own the mare so hopefully he can win more races for our home pedigree. We look forward to supporting the Tattersalls Online sales again going forward.”

Three-year-old filly Pomeriggio (Ire) (Caravaggio) (lot 32), consigned by Jessica Harrington's Commonstown Stables, was the pick of the other lots from the horses-in-training section of the sale having fetched a bid of 15,500gns from Gerard O'Neill.

The overall top four was completed by the 13-year-old broodmare Jufoon (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) (lot 77), who has already produced two winners from two runners and was offered in foal to Kameko. Jufoon, who was Listed-placed herself as a three-year-old, was sold to Gordian Troeller Bloodstock, on behalf of Gabe Hall, for 18,500gns.

Of the 78 lots offered, 39 sold (50%) for a gross of 250,200gns. The average was 6,415gns and the median was 4,000gns.

Breeding Right In Cracksman Tops Tattersalls Online

A breeding right in Group 1 sire Cracksman (GB) (lot 92) topped the Tattersalls Online January Sale at 50,000gns to Dan Astbury post sale.

The Darley-based sire enjoyed a strong year with his progeny in 2023 anchored by undefeated Classic winner and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Ace Impact (Ire), who now stands at Haras de Beaumont.

Astbury said, “I am delighted to have purchased the breeding right in the exciting Cracksman on behalf of a client who is building up a very nice band of broodmares. The year the stallion has had speaks for itself, being responsible for superstar Ace Impact who is himself now a very exciting recruit to the stallion ranks. My client is delighted and fingers crossed it works out well for him down the line.”

Ulysses (GB) 3-year-old Trojan Storm (GB) (lot 2) sold from Ralph Beckett's Kimpton Down Stables to AA Bloodstock for 35,000gns. The chestnut horse-in-training ran second on debut at Wolverhampton last week and boasts a strong pedigree, as his Pivotal (GB) dam, Mystic Storm (GB), is a full-sister to listed winner Solar Magic (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and a half to the G1 1000 Guineas/G1 Coronation S. runner-up Starscope (GB) (Selkirk). The latter is the dam of Cartier Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}).

Rounding out the top three lots was Houghton Bloodstock's Renzia (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) (lot 85) in foal to Cracksman, who changed hands for 25,000gns to One Agency. The 6-year-old mare, a relative of tough American handicapper and GI Gulfstream Park H. and GI Sword Dancer H. hero and Japanese sire Cetewayo (His Majesty) is out of a full-sister to GI Beverly D. S. winner Dynaforce (Dynaformer). Renzia is also a half-sister to a trio of black-type horses, among them dual Grade I-placed Stormy Len (Harlan's Holiday).

Overall, 43 lots sold for a gross of 275,300gns. The average was 6,402gns and the median settled at 3,000gns.
