Progeny Of Teofilo Popular At Tattersalls Online

A pair of sons by Teofilo (Ire) filled the top two places during Thursday's Tattersalls Online September Sale.

Topping the sale was the 3-year-old colt Teorie (Ire) (lot 24) who was knocked down for 45,000gns to Fergal O'Brien Racing and his stable jockey Paddy Brennan. Already a winner from five starts, the colt is a full-brother to the winning Theodulus (Ire) and is from the extended family of G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Gear Up (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). He was consigned by Jim Bolger's Glebe House Stables.

“We bought a lovely horse last year from Mr. Bolger called Dancila by the same sire and this horse had a good profile, I loved his win at Leopardstown,” said O'Brien. “We have an owner who wants a juvenile hurdler so we thought we'd give it a go. He'll go back to Paddy Brennan's, and we'll probably have him castrated, then we'll start jumping him to go for juvenile hurdles.”

Scott Lowther paid 30,000gns for the 3-year-old gelding That's Jet (Ire), who was offered by O'Sullivan Bloodstock. Lot 25 has placed once over hurdles, and his dam, Floating Along (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), is a half-sister to G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner King's Apostle (Ire) (King's Best) and G2 Lartigue Hurdle scorer Politicise (Ire) (Camelot {GB}).

“My trainer Daragh Bourke had watched a few of his races in Ireland and he'd come recommended from a couple of guys over there too. I'll look for a juvenile hurdle for him–we'll maybe aim him for Wetherby in October although he looks very well handicapped on the Flat as well I must admit.”

The progeny of Blue Point (Ire) have been in demand in the sales ring with his 35 first-crop winners anchored by four stakes winner, among them Big Evs (Ire), who will race in the G2 Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers S. on Friday. Lot 8, the filly Raknah (Ire), was bought by BBA Ireland for 25,000gns from Andrew Balding's Park House Stables. She has placed once in three runs, and is out of a full-sister to G3 Ballyroan S. hero Stellar Mass (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

The second Blue Point to sell was 15,000gns buy Desert Master (GB) (lot 35), who has hit the board five times in eight runs to date. From James Tate's Jamesfield Stables, the bay is out of the listed-placed Iffraaj (GB) mare Al Fareej (Ire) and caught the eye of Northgate Lodge Stud.

De Bruyne (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) (lot 34) was snapped up for 25,000gns to Gassim Ghazali from Ed Walker Racing. The gelding sports a win on the all-weather and is a grandson of Listed Sandy Lane S. winner Danehill Destiny (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who was also third twice at Group 3 level.

From a catalogue of 91, 81 horses were offered with 47 sold (58%) for a gross of 377,700gns. The average was 8,036gns and the median was 4,000gns.

Farhh Filly Tops Tattersalls Online September Sale

Floral Splendour (GB) (Farhh {GB}), a winning 3-year-old filly out of Red Tulip (GB) (Kheleyf, brought a sale-topping 36,000gns from Castle Construction North East, Ltd. during the Tattersalls Online September Sale on Wednesday. Lot 26 was consigned by Jamesfield Stables, while her second dam is the listed winner Red Carnation (Ire) (Polar Falcon). Floral Splendour's dam is a half-sister to GIII Knickerbocker S. hero Legendary (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). Under the third dam is the stakes-winning Red Fort (Ire) (Green Desert), who was placed in both the 2005 and 2006 editions of the GI Charles Whittingham Memorial H.

“I am really excited with the filly and I think the new trainer will be too,” said Colin Dorman, who bought Floral Splendour. “She will go to Iain Jardine. She will go straight there so Iain can have a look at her and she will spend the winter at Cliff Stud. I was looking for something that hadn't been raced much that we could start off with next year. She has only had a couple of races and has won once and I thought that was good form for a filly. Hopefully we can build on that next year. She comes from a good trainer and they have decent horses. We are very much looking forward to racing her on.”

Lot 7, the placed National Hunt prospect Jipekaa Machin (Fr) (Saonois {Fr}) was knocked down to Donald McCain for 35,000gns. The 3-year-old gelding was consigned by Hugo Merienne's Ecurie H. Merienne.

“We are very happy with the sale and wish his new connections every success with him,” said Merienne. “We have sold a couple of horses online this year and it is a great way to reach a wider audience. We wouldn't have physically taken the horse to a sale in England at this point so selling through Tattersalls Online made a lot of sense.”

Rounding out the top three lots was an Elzaam (Ire) 5-year-old gelding, Wonder Elzaam (Ire) (lot 17). Offered by Alliance Bloodstock, the bay is rated 93 and has four wins to his name. He was purchased by Yousef Alturaif of Saudi Arabia.

At the close of trade, 18 lots changed hands for a gross of 175,800gns. The average was 9,767gns and the median was 4,500gns.
