The catalog for the 2022 Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up and Horses in Training Sale can now be viewed online at www.tattersalls.com.
Numbering 206 breeze up 2-year-olds and 120 horses in training, the sale will take place April 26 – 28 with the 2-year-olds breezing at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse on Tuesday, April 26 starting at 9 a.m.
Graduates of the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale enjoyed an excellent year on the racecourse in 2021 with international Group success in Britain, France, Germany and the U.S. led by Grade/Group 1 winners Shantisara and Trueshan, purchased for just 10,000 guineas and 31,000 guineas respectively. The sale has produced a remarkable 46 individual Group/Listed performers since 2017 with five Group/Listed performers already from last year's sale including Hierarchy, beaten only a head when runner up in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes.
No less than 46 of the stallions with 2-year-olds cataloged have already sired classic or Group/Grade 1 winners, including Acclamation, Australia, Exceed and Excel, Iffraaj, Invincible Spirit, Kodiac, Make Believe, Mehmas, New Bay, Night of Thunder, No Nay Never, Oasis Dream, Sea the Moon, Showcasing, Starspangledbanner, Wootton Bassett, Zoffany, and Zoustar. A strong contingent of overseas sires are represented including the French-based duo Galiway and Zelzal, American stallions Astern, Caravaggio, First Samurai, and Stormy Atlantic and German three-time Champion sire Soldier Hollow.
Several sires who made a favorable impression with their first crop of runners in 2021 feature prominently with a total of 32 lots cataloged by Ardad, Caravaggio, Chirchill, Cotai Glory, Galileo Gold, Profitable, Time Test, and Zarak. In addition there are 18 first crop sires with 2-year-olds catalogued including Group 1 winners Cracksman, Expert Eye, Harry angel, Havana Grey, Hawkbill, Lightning Spear, Roaring Lion, Saxon Warrior, U S Navy Flag, and Sioux Nation, who has already produced an impressive debut winner. They are joined by exciting U.S.-based contemporaries Accelerate and Bolt d'Oro.
Owners and trainers looking to benefit from additional incentives will be well catered for with 18 fillies registered for the Great British Bonus Scheme and 14 2-year-olds qualified for French Owners' Premiums. Three juveniles are entered in the 2022 Swedish Derby and Oaks Series and three are entered in the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, with one lot additionally entered in the £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction Stakes.
The Horses in Training section of the Guineas Sale has been a consistent source of high-class performers and the 2022 renewal features several promising 3-year-olds led by the progressive Belardo colt My Little Tip. Timeform rated 95 following wins in his last three starts, he will be consigned by George Boughey's Saffron House Stables. The listed placed More Than Ready colt Kaboo is another highly rated 3-year-old colt to feature with a Timeform rating of 101, he will be consigned from Karl Burke's Spigot Lodge Stables. He will be joined by Grenoble and John the Baptist, rated 96 and 93 and consigned by Somerville Lodge and the Castlebridge Consignment respectively.
Several highly-rated older performers with recent winning form are catalogued including Night on Earth, Sanaadh, and Whittle Le Woods. The consignment of five lots from Juddmonte Farms looks certain as always to attract interest, including the 3-year-old War Front colt Fraction out of Group 1 winner Proportional, who ran with promise on his only start at Deauville. The draft also features several well-bred unraced colts, including Winterscape, a Frankel full-brother to Group 1 Nassau Stakes winner Winsili, and Polemon, a Frankel half-brother to Group 1 placed Weekender.
Commenting on the catalogue, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said:
“The Guineas Breeze Up enjoyed yet another outstanding year on the racecourse led by the Champion stayer Trueshan and U.S. Grade 1 winner Shantisara, both of whom illustrate the quality, diversity and value for money that buyers have come to expect from the sale. This year's Guineas Breeze Up has been very well-supported by consignors and we are confident the selection of 2-year-olds will appeal to domestic and international buyers in all sectors of the market, alongside the second largest horses in training section in the sale's history.”
Catalogs will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls overseas representatives from Monday, April 11. The breeze for the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up will take place at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse on Tuesday, April 26 starting at 9 a.m. The breeze will be shown live on the Tattersalls website via Sale Day Live and on the Tattersalls Facebook page.
