Gunther Invites Breeders To Unlock Free Nomination To Without Parole

Owner-breeder Tanya Gunther has invited people to unlock a free nomination to Without Parole (GB), the St James's Palace S. winner whose first foals sold well at Tattersalls this week, by offering a limited number of keys to those interested in breeding to the Newsells Park Stud-based stallion. 

Just one of those keys will unlock the free nomination that is hidden in one of three boxes at the Newsells Park consignment at Tattersalls for the December Mares Sale.

The majority of the keys have been sent out to breeders who have already supported the stallion, whose 15 foals sold for an average of 28,100gns at last week's December Foal Sale, including colts for 58,000 and 52,000 respectively.

However, there are still a limited number of keys available, with Gunther urging those interested to make their way down to the Highflyer Paddocks this week. 

Gunther explained, “We devised a promo that we thought would be a little bit of fun. We are inviting breeders to unlock a free nomination from behind bars during the December Mares Sale this week at Tattersalls. The people who have supported Without Parole have already received an email and a key but, basically, we have three boxes down at the Newsells consignment at Tattersalls and behind one box is a nomination to Without Parole and in the other two have champagne in them.

“None of the boxes have been opened yet and, while there is a limited supply, we invite breeders who may be interested in using Without Parole to come and visit the hospitality suite at Newsells and get their key before they are all gone. It's a pretty fun way to get talking to the breeders about the stallion and we'd love to talk to people who may be interested in using him in the future.”

Bred by Gunther's father John, Without Parole won four times for John Gosden before joining Chad Brown, for whom he placed third in the 2019 Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita. 

He joined the Newsells roster in 2021 at a fee of £10,000 and is set to stand for just £7,000 in 2023. Gunther described herself to be delighted with the feedback from breeders at Tattersalls and said that she thinks Without Parole represents good value. 

She said, “I wasn't sure what to expect going around looking at the Without Parole foals last week because, before this sale, all I had really seen from him were my own foals. I have to say that I was very happy with what I saw in his offspring and he seems to be throwing some very good stock and is putting quality into his offspring so you can't really ask for much more than that. 

“Of course, it is only the first step but we are really pleased with how things are going with him so far and we're all quite happy about it. We hope that breeders are as happy as we are and, to hear comments like 'he is throwing horses with a touch of class' or that 'there is a resemblance of Frankel,' I mean you couldn't ask for much more than that.  It's lovely to hear that Without Parole resembles Frankel who we all know had such an amazing season and is riding the crest of a wave.”

She added, “We are very happy with the results. We hope that the buyers will make some money on their Without Parole pinhooks and feel that people didn't go too crazy at every level so hopefully they have a really great chance to do well. It's comparable to going around and looking at a bunch of your children when viewing the foals of Without Parole and it's just very rewarding to see that they have been well received. He looks as though he represents good value.”
