A field of 22 runners, anchored by favourite Zoulu Chief (GB) (Zousar {Aus}), has been drawn for the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction S. over six furlongs on Newmarket's Rowley Mile on Saturday, Oct. 7.

Trained by Heather Main, the colt is bidding for a hat trick of wins, after earlier successes at Windsor and York. He was a 27,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3 purchase from Whatton Manor Stud.

Another runner of interest is Tom Ward's Woodhay Wonder (GB) (Tamayuz {GB}), who has already claimed the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction S. over Newmarket's July Course. She was a 26,000gns Somerville yearling when picked up by Stroud Coleman and Ward from Genesis Green Stud.

Ward said, “Woodhay Wonder has been well since Newmarket. I have been happy with her progress and feel she is still improving”.

John Ferguson saddles Drama (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), who was a 27,000gns Somerville graduate from the consignment of Felley Priory Stud.

Tattersalls Unveils New Sale Race

Tattersalls and Newmarket Racecourse will stage the inaugural Tattersalls Somerville Auction S., for 2-year-olds over six furlongs worth £100,000, in August 2022 on the July Course. The race is restricted to graduates of this year's Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale, which is set for Newmarket's Park Paddocks on Sept. 7, and prizemoney will be paid down to tenth place, with £55,000 allocated to the winner.

The Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale will be held under its new guise for the first time this year; the sale was previously known as the Tattersalls Ascot Yearling Sale, and when the 2020 renewal staged in Newmarket due to COVID-19 restrictions returned records across the board, the decision was made to make it a permanent fixture at Park Paddocks. The sale places an emphasis on forward, athletic yearlings and last year's sale has already produced 17 individual 2-year-old winners headed by Chipotle (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}), winner of the Listed Windsor Castle S. at Royal Ascot last week. Chipotle cost 10,000gns last year.

Graduates of the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale will be eligible for the Tattersalls Somerville Auction S. and the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction S.

“Our commitment to rewarding owners in as many innovative ways as we can has resulted in over £6,100,000 in bonus prize money being paid out by Tattersalls in the last five years,” said Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony. “The £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction S. will provide an opportunity for graduates of the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling sale to run for substantial prize money, and further enhance the appeal of the sale which has quickly established a reputation as a consistent source of top-class juvenile talent.”

Chipotle's trainer Eve Johnson Houghton said, “Having bought Chipotle for only 10,000gns at last year's sale, the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale is already in the diary and finding the winner of the new £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville S. will be the aim–as well as another Royal Ascot winner, of course.”
