The 4-year-old Listed winning colt Alignak looks set to be amongst the highlights of the four day Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale which takes place Monday, Oct. 26 to Thursday, Oct. 29. The world's largest horses in training sale numbers 1,617 lots and can be viewed online at www.tattersalls.com.
An effortless winner of the listed Stand Cup Stakes at Chester for Sir Michael Stoute on his latest start, Alignak currently boasts an official rating of 110 and a Timeform rating of 118.
The fourth stakes winner out of the champion racemare Albanova, Alignak is the latest smart performer from Kirsten Rausing's exceptional Alruccaba family. Alignak is one of a 21 lot consignment from Sir Michael Stoute's Freemason Lodge Stables which also features the highly rated trio of Galata Bridge, Sextant, and Solid Stone.
The world's largest sale of horses in training, from which 2020 Group 1 winners Fierce Impact and River Boyne were purchased, features more than 90 group and listed performers including 2020 scorers Cormorant, Dubai Station, Maystar, Royal Dornoch, and Withhold. Following in the footsteps of 2019 sale-topper Summer Sands there are also several top-class 2-year-olds cataloged including Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner and Group 1 Phoenix Stakes runner-up The Lir Jet, alongside dual Group 2 runner-up Devious Company and the listed winner Acklam Express.
This year's Australian Group 2 winner Imaging, purchased at last year's Autumn Horses in Training Sale, provided yet another reminder of why the Juddmonte consignment is an annual highlight of the Autumn Horses in Training Sale and the 25 strong Juddmonte team, which sells on Wednesday, Oct. 28, looks as enticing as ever.
The exciting 3-year-old colt Emissary and high-class older horses Blue Mist, Derevo, and Society Lion, all with a Timeform rating of over 105, look set to attract plenty of attention. The consignment from Ballydoyle Stables also retains its traditional strength and depth with 48 representatives including the group winning quartet of 3-year-olds Cormorant, Nobel Prize, Royal Nornoch, and Royal Lytham amongst 12 group and listed performers.
The largest consignment in the sale is Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's ever popular Shadwell draft with 87 lots cataloged including 18 horses rated over 95 by Timeform. The Castlebridge Consignment as ever offers a sizeable contingent of 81 with the recent Listed winner Aztec Parade and the highly rated Lord Rapscallion, both trained in Ireland by Johnny Murtagh, set to star. Roger Charlton's promising 3-year-old colt Bullfinch, sold as part of the Waddesdon Stud dispersal with an official rating of 103 and a Timeform rating of 111p, also looks likely to be one of the most eagerly sought after lots.
The largest trainer's consignment is the 69 strong team from Richard Hannon's powerful East Everleigh Stables which includes the 118 Timeform-rated Listed winner Urban Icon who ran a fine race to be beaten only two and a half lengths in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster on his last start. Mark Johnston's Kingsley Park has 64 catalogued, Richard Fahey's Musley Bank has a team of 46 and Roger Varian's Carlburg Stables and Andrew Balding's Park House Stables each offer 35 lots. Irish trainers including Jim Bolger, Jessie Harrington, John Murphy, Donnacha O'Brien, Joseph O'Brien, Michael O'Callaghan, John Oxx, Fozzy Stack and Dermot Weld are also well-represented.
