Time Test Breeding Right Leads at Tattersalls Online

A breeding right in progressive young stallion Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was purchased for 100,000gns by Blandford Bloodstock's Tom Goff to top the Tattersalls Online Sale on Friday. Blandford Bloodstock also teamed up with Wardley Bloodstock to acquire the remaining lot, a breeding right in Ardad (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) for 75,000gns.

Lot 2 was offered on behalf of a gentleman. The National Stud resident has already sired four black-type winners in his first crop led by G3 Dick Poole S. heroine Romantic Time (GB) and German Group 3 winner Rocchigiani (GB). The King's Horses (GB) has won at the listed level in Italy and has also placed in the G3 Premio Primi Passi, while Tardis (GB) captured the Listed St Hugh's S. at Newbury. The winning Sunset Shiraz (Ire) has earned black-type four times and was third in the G1 Moyglare Stud S. Overall, the dual Group 2 winner and multiple Group 1-placed Time Test has sired 11 winners to date.

“The Time Test breeding right has been bought for an overseas investor who wishes to remain anonymous,” said Goff. “They approached us earlier in the week about it. The sire is a fantastic addition to the National Stud's roster and has started very well, achieving more than most people expected of him at this stage. He has some excellent crops sizes to come and it's all ahead of him really.”

G2 Flying Childers S. hero Ardad has also enjoyed an excellent season with his first crop of runners. The National Stud consigned the breeding right (lot 1) in the sire of 21 winners. His pair of black-type winners are led by G1 Middle Park S. and G1 Prix Morny hero Perfect Power (Ire). Eve Lodge (GB) won the G3 Sirenia S. and Ardad also has the G2 Coventry S. third Vintage Clarets (GB). It was announced on Thursday that he will stand for £12,500 at Overbury Stud in 2022.

“I am really delighted to secure the breeding right to Ardad for Wardley Bloodstock,” said Goff. “What the sire has achieved this year is nothing short of sensational. My client is very excited to get involved in what is already a remarkable bloodstock story.”

Throne Hall (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and Strozzi (Ger) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), both consigned by Godolphin, brought identical bids of £50,000 to share joint-topper honours during Thursday's Tattersalls Ascot November Sale. Held at Ascot racecourse for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sale grossed a record £603,500 for 77 sold (83%). The average was £7,838 and the median was £4,600.

Just one lot earlier, Richard Venn Bloodstock was in action for Strozzi (lot 65). A son of dual German listed-placed Soprana (Ger) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}), the bay colt won at Chepstow over seven furlongs in June. He will continue his racing career in the Middle East.

Another Godolphin-consigned horse, the gelding Komachi (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) (lot 61) brought £42,000 from W. Clarken and D. Arnold. The winning 3-year-old gelding counts Irish champion Flagbird (Nureyev) as his third dam.

Nathaniel’s Desert Crown Earns TDN Rising Star Tag At Nottingham

Saeed Suhail's hitherto untried 280,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 acquisition Desert Crown (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) was let go at 11-1 for division one of Wednesday's MansionBet Bet £10 Get £20 EBF Maiden S. at Nottingham and, while still a diamond in the rough, came home stylishly to earn 'TDN Rising Star' status on debut. The eventual winner accepted a tow in third after breaking on the front end in an extended one-mile heat won in 2019 by MG1SW globetrotter Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) and in 2018 by MG1SW speedster Space Blues (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Looming large on the bridle approaching the quarter-mile marker, he quickened smartly to gain control passing the eighth pole and went through an impressive array of gears to go 5 1/2 lengths clear of Schmilsson (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) in a matter of strides.

Desert Crown is the fifth foal and scorer produced by a winning granddaughter of stakes-winning G3 Prix de Psyche runner-up Binary (GB) (Rainbow Quest), whose descendants include MGISW distaffer Proviso (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Binary is also the ancestress of G1 Prince of Wales's S.-winning sire Byword (GB) (Peintre Celebre) and MG1SP G2 Prix Eugene Adam victor Finche (GB) (Frankel {GB}). The March-foaled bay is a half-brother to Hong Kong's G3 Premier Cup victor Flying Thunder (GB) (Archipenko), who raced in Europe as Archie McKellar (GB), a yearling filly by Al Kazeem (GB) and a weanling colt by Study of Man (Ire).
