BREEDING STOCK SALES
Ready for the action
D
RIP-FEEDING big-name mares selling at the major breeding stock sales has become a thing since the introduction of the Sceptre Sessions by Tattersalls, with the Newmarket-based sales house jostling with Goffs and Arqana to catch the eye of the media and potential buyers before catalogues are released. All three certainly boast some headline acts this year at a collection of sales that are among the most anticipated on the circuit. Tattersalls posted record returns last year by any measure, with the 5,400,000gns commanded by Alcohol Free being the highest auction price in the world in 2022 for a filly in training. Maybe the most in-form star mare heading into the select sessions this time around is Via Sistina, runner-up to King Of Steel in the Champion Stakes last month, beaten a nose by Mqse De Sevigne in the Prix Jean Romanet the time before, and previously third to Nashwa in the Falmouth. She’d won her three prior starts, headlined by the Group 1 Pretty Polly. Goffs, meanwhile, had already announced that Fev Rover’s dam, Laurelita, would be selling at Kildare Paddocks before her daughter’s impressive victory in the EP Taylor Stakes last month, her second strike at the top level. Prix de l’Opera winner Place Du Carrousel, who also landed the Prix Foy this year, will sell at Arqana next month, with Deauville likewise the destination for the stock Gestut Ammerland are dispersing. This includes Wildfeder, the full-sister to Waldgeist in foal to Siyouni, as well as Lady Frankel, the Group 1-placed Frankel half-sister to Lope De Vega. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as the mare sales go, which of course in the case of Tattersalls and Goffs are preceded by foal sales. It’s all covered in the pages that follow.

Potential stars in the spotlight Alpha Centauri
8 gr m Mastercraftsman-Alpha Lupi (Rahy) Goffs, lot 1263 The Niarchos family’s draft at Goffs this month contains a whole host of big names – both from the racing ranks and at paddocks. As one would expect, the depth of pedigrees available to buyers is simply outstanding, while some of the world’s best stallions are also among the covering sires. It is impossible to start any conversation without the Group 1-winning half-sisters Alpha Centauri and Alpine Star. Trained by Jessica Harrington, the former, a scopey grey, was a Listed winner and a neck second in the Albany Stakes at two, before going on to flourish the following year. Bogged down in the mud on her first start as a three-yearold, she then went on a Group 1 rampage, taking in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes – which she won by a thumping six lengths – the Falmouth Stakes and Prix Jacques le Marois.
She and Alpine Star are granddaughters of the Niarchos family’s dual French Classic heroine East Of The Moon, herself a daughter of the breedshaping Miesque, the mighty mare who is also the dam of top-class miler and sire Kingmambo. Alpha Centauri is offered in foal to Sea The Stars, while her first runner, Galileo colt Saturn, has placed on all three starts for the Harrington yard. Eight-year-old Alpha Centauri also has a two-yearold filly by the late Coolmore phenomenon called Earth and a yearling filly by Galileo’s Royal Ascot Group 1-winning son Circus Maximus, named Proxima Centauri.
Alpine Star
6 ch m Sea The Moon-Alpha Lupi (Rahy) Goffs, 1240 Top-notcher Alpine Star is an equally attractive prospect and is sold in foal to Frankel, who has regained the British and Irish sires’ title he won for the first time in 2021. She produced a colt foal by the Juddmonte giant earlier this year.
Trained by Jessica Harrington, the chestnut defeated subsequent Irish Derby and Queen’s Vase hero Santiago in a Galway maiden on her second start as a juvenile and then landed the Group 2 Debutante Stakes, with subsequent 1,000 Guineas, Oaks, Yorkshire Oaks and Prince of Wales’s Stakes winner Love behind in fifth. Alpine Star won the Coronation Stakes on her next start the following June by four and a quarter lengths from a top-quality field that included Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Sharing, Fillies’ Mile victress Quadrilateral and 1,000 Guineas second Cloak Of Spirits. She was desperately unlucky not to win again at the highest level, finishing runner-up in Group 1s on her next three starts. She was beaten a short neck by Fancy Blue in the Prix de Diane, lost out by threequarters of a length to champion miler Palace Pier in the Prix Jacques le Marois – in which Classic and/or Group 1-winning milers Circus Maximus, Persian King and
Romanised were all in behind her – and was then denied by another short neck by Tarnawa in the Prix de l’Opera. Alpine Star’s top-notch race performances are backed up by her brilliant pedigree, that of the breed-shaping Niarchos family of Miesque, East Of The Moon and Kingmambo.
Mise En Scene
4 b f Siyouni-Gadfly (Galileo) Arqana, 197 A quality daughter of Siyouni bred on the cross that has produced top-class performers and Classic winners St Mark’s Basilica and Sottsass, Mise En Scene appeals as an exciting broodmare prospect. The four-year-old, who will be offered by Monceaux, was a four-length winner on her debut at two for James Ferguson and followed up with Pattern success in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. She then ran a decent fourth behind the brilliant Inspiral in the Fillies’ Mile, ahead of rivals such as Canadian Grade 1 winner Wild Beauty and subsequent Irish Oaks heroine Magical Lagoon.

produced Prix Marcel Boussac winner Zellie, Group 2 winner and French Classicplaced Tribalist, and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf runner-up Silver Knott, also a dual Group 3 winner at two. Poptronic is the first Group 1 winner as a broodmare sire for Bearstone Stud stallion Dream Ahead, being out of his winning daughter Alpine Dream. The dam of one further winner in Brazen Beau filly Beautron, Alpine Dream has a yearling filly by New Bay and produced a Zoustar filly this year.
Qatar Racing’s filly was beaten a nose in the Listed John Musker Stakes at Yarmouth at three, before heading to the United States and joining Brendan Walsh. She was back in the winner’s enclosure at Saratoga this July and most recently finished fourth behind Fev Rover in the Grade 1 Beverly D Stakes. She is the third foal out of the unraced and very wellbred Gadfly, a half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Speciosa and two further black-type winners. They are out of Specifically, a Sky Classic halfsister to the prolific Pride, winner of the Champion Stakes, Hong Kong Cup and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud for Alain de Royer-Dupre.
Poptronic
4 b f Nathaniel-Alpine Dream (Dream Ahead) Tattersalls, 1784 David and Yvonne Blunt’s homebred filly by Nathaniel is a great advert for middledistance breeding on a budget and, given her sire’s early success as a broodmare sire, she has to rate a hugely exciting broodmare prospect. Her CV was bolstered by her brave front-running victory in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes last month, when she held off Irish Oaks second Bluestocking and the smart Jackie Oh in a close finish. The Karl Burke-trained filly had already won the Lancashire Oaks and Hoppings Fillies’ Stakes this and last year, but this deserved Group 1 score will add much value to her prospects going forward. Nathaniel’s daughters have
Sea The Sky
ALPINE STAR
ALPHA CENTAURI
4 b f Sea The Stars-Sanwa (Monsun) Arqana, 171 A Listed-winning Sea The Stars sister to German Derby hero and Classic-winning sire Sea The Moon, Sea The Sky’s immense value is plain to see. Forming part of the Gestut Ammerland dispersal at Arqana, the four-year-old was a winner at Chantilly on her sole outing as a juvenile for Andre Fabre. At three, she won the Listed Prix Joubert at Longchamp, having finished third in the Group 3 Prix Minerve on her previous start. Bred by Gestut Gorlsdorf and an €820,000 sale-topper
from the BBAG September Yearling Sale in 2020 – a price tag which means she is the joint-biggest seller at that auction – she is out of the unraced Monsun mare Sanwa, a sister to German Derby winners Samum and Schiaparelli, as well as Preis der Diana heroine Salve Regina. Given her pedigree and race record, Sea The Sky has huge potential as a broodmare prospect for whoever her new connections will be.
Teona
5 b m Sea The Stars-Ambivalent (Authorized) Tattersalls, 1786 A top-class daughter of Sea The Stars – who is increasingly making his presence felt as a broodmare sire, through the likes of astonishing QEII winner Big Rock, Onesto, Eldar Eldarov and Al Husn – and out of a Group 1-winning mare and Group producer, there is a huge amount to like about Teona. Add into the mix that she’s in foal to a certain Frankel, a foal who would be bred on the same cross as Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner and Irish Champion Stakes second Onesto, and she looks
an extremely attractive package. A nine-length winner of her second start for Roger Varian and Ali Saeed at Newcastle as a two-year-old, she was third in the Musidora Stakes on her reappearance at York the following spring. That was behind the subsequent triple Oaks heroine Snowfall. Teona could manage only tenth behind that rival at Epsom, but bounced back to win the Listed August Stakes at Windsor by three and threequarter lengths. However, the best was yet to come as she reversed the form with Ballydoyle’s Snowfall to land the Prix Vermeille by a length and a half. She showed that Group 1 triumph to have been no fluke when finishing in front of the likes of Japan and Tarnawa when third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. Teona has an excellent pedigree, being out of Authorized’s Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Ambivalent, a half-sister to the dam of Abbaye winner Total Gallery. Teona is a halfsister to Godolphin’s Group 2 Prix Hocquart winner Al Hilalee and his winning younger sister Imperial Quarter.

BREEDING STOCK SALES
Coolmore colossus
St Mark’s Basilica: the world champion’s first crop is heading to the sales ring
Kitty Trice on the stallions with first foals up for auction ST MARK’S BASILICA needs little introduction as a European champion two-yearold, courtesy of his victory in the Dewhurst, who went on to become an unbeaten world champion at three. The 1,300,000gns Tattersalls Book 1 graduate is the best son of the Aga Khan’s brilliant Siyouni on Racing Post Ratings and official ratings, with victories in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains, Prix du Jockey Club, Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes for Aidan O’Brien and Coolmore. His pedigree reads just as well, as he is out of the Groupwinning Galileo mare Cabaret, making him a half-brother to 2,000 Guineas and Vertem Futurity winner Magna Grecia, whose first crop of runners have done well this term. St Mark’s Basilica is one of ten individual Group 1 winners for his sire, who has set European racing ablaze this term through the likes of Paddington and Tahiyra. Excitement is building with St Mark’s Basilica’s first crop heading to the sales and he had 14 lots catalogued at Tattersalls, five at Goffs and two at Arqana. Among his Park Paddocks group is Barton Stud’s filly from the family of Attraction (806), Ashbrittle Stud’s filly out of Oaks heroine Talent and therefore a half-sister to Group 2 winner and Prix Jean Romanet runnerup Ambition (869), and Houghton Bloodstock’s halfsister to Cumberland Lodge Stakes winner Star Storm and out of a daughter of the champion mare Sayyedati (860). There is also Norris Bloodstock’s half-brother to Pride Stakes winner and December Mares Sale 2,000,000gns graduate Ville De Grace (987), plus Taroka Stud’s half-sister to Australian Group 1 scorer Dubai Honour (982). Those at Goffs feature the Irish National Stud’s colt out of the stakes-placed Montjeu mare Bellajeu (365) – a close nick to the one that has produced Paddington – and the filly out of German champion two-year-old Ocean Fantasy (532). She is offered by The Castlebridge Consignment on behalf of Gestut Hony Hof. Norelands Stud – who consigned St Mark’s Basilica at Book 1, where MV Magnier signed the docket – offers a colt by St Mark’s Basilica from the Ammerland family of dual French Classic winner and leading sire Lope De Vega (734). Arqana’s offerings are Haras de Saint Julien’s half-brother to Group winner and Prix SaintAlary third Crown Princesse (236) and J.K. Thoroughbreds’ colt from the family of champion sprinter Muhaarar (315).

BREEDING STOCK SALES From page 4
Darley delights
Darley has its own strong team of young stallions set for their first foal sales. Chief among them is Palace Pier (right), a champion miler by Kingman whose five Group 1s included the St James’s Palace Stakes, two runnings of the Prix Jacques le Marois and the Queen Anne. It is no surprise he was strongly supported in his first year, with some of the top owner-breeders providing patronage among a quality book of mares. The six-year-old has 11 lots entered for Tattersalls, notably Cheveley Park Stud’s colt out of Sun Chariot and Falmouth Stakes winner Integral (821). The Palace Pier foals also include Dukes Stud’s halfsister to Group 2 winner Ladies Church (854), Marwell Park’s half-brother to Australian Group 1 victor Polarisation (870), and Genesis Green Stud’s colt out of a Dansili sister to Group winner and Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere runner-up Early March (907). It is a case of quality over quantity at Goffs as his two there are Neilstown Stud’s halfsister to Criterium de MaisonsLaffitte winner Fighting Irish (564) and AK Thoroughbreds’ colt out of multiple Group winner Axana, and from the family of US Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-placed Via Borghese (641). His sole offering at Arqana is the Haras d’Etrehamconsigned colt out of a winning War Front half-sister to the top-class Peeping Fawn (531). Reports of multiple Group/ Grade 1 winner Space Blues’ first foals have been positive and it will be interesting to see how they are received on the open market. The speedy and durable son of Dubawi was another who was popular upon his retirement to stud, and it is not hard to see why. He was a debut winner at two, twice Group 1-placed at three, landed the Prix Maurice de Gheest at four and ended his career at five with victories in the Prix de la Foret and Breeders’ Cup Mile. He is well represented at Tattersalls and Goffs, with the former batch including Crimbourne Bloodstock’s filly out of a Dream Ahead halfsister to Group 1 winner and sire Havana Gold (769), The Castlebridge Consignment’s half-brother to black-type winners Kalapour and Kalaxana (622), and Hawes Stud’s half-sister to Snow Fairy Stakes scorer Vaireggio (658). His Goffs team includes Olive O’Connor’s half-sister to this year’s Anglesey Stakes winner Kairyu (63), Ballyogue Stud’s colt out of a winning Holy Roman Emperor sister to Hong Kong Group 1 winner Designs On Rome (355), and Oghill House Stud’s colt out of Group winner Sweety Dream
and a halfbrother to Listed scorer Are We Dreaming (601). His representatives at Arqana are Ecurie des Monceaux’s filly out of a daughter of Nassau Stakes winner Naissance Royale (132) and Haras de la Louviere’s half-brother to Group winner Elounda Queen (191). Darley is triple-handed in this arena and Haras du Logis’s Poule d’Essai des Poulains and Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Victor Ludorum is another immensely exciting prospect. By Shamardal and a toplevel winner at two and three for Andre Fabre, he bids to follow in the red-hot footsteps of Blue Point, another topclass son of Shamardal who is set to be crowned champion first-season sire this term. As one might expect, Victor Ludorum has strong representation at Arqana, but his two at Goffs catch the eye as well. One is Tinnakill House’s granddaughter of Cherry Hinton Stakes winner and black-type producer Spinola (300), while the other is a half-sister to stakes winner Maroubra, offered through The Castlebridge Consignment (510). His French offering includes La Motteraye Consignment’s colt from the family of Prix de Malleret winner and Irish Oaks runner-up Shamadara (306), the same team’s colt out of Prix d’Aumale winner and Prix Marcel Boussac third Zantenda (355), plus Fairway Consignment’s colt from the Niarchos family of Light Shift and Ulysses (455).
Staying power
Chapel Stud’s Group 2 York Stakes and Group 3 Sandown Classic Trial winner Bangkok (below) has four representatives at Park Paddocks and, given his dam line, has to rate an interesting stallion prospect for British breeders. The son of Australia is out of the Shadwell-bred stakes performer Tanaghum, a Darshaan daughter of Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Mehthaaf and from the family of Preakness Stakes and Breeders’ Cup winner Timber Country. A half-sister to Group 2 winner Najah, Tanaghum has also produced Meydan Group 1 winner Matterhorn, 2023 Dante Stakes scorer The Foxes and Mujarah, the dam of European champion miler Ribchester. Bangkok’s first crop at Tattersalls includes Cobhall
Court Stud’s colt out of the winning Planteur mare Plansina and from the family of Silas Marner (252), plus Chapel Stud’s filly from the family of Prix de Diane winner Egyptband (1178). Japan, a Grand Prix de Paris and Juddmonte International-winning son of Galileo and the great Shastye, is represented at both Tattersalls and Goffs. The Newsells Park Stud-bred horse and Gestut Etzean sire’s two lots at Kildare Paddocks include Gestut Hony Hof’s colt out of the stakes-placed Mastercraftsman mare Salve Annetta, a granddaughter of the influential Salve Regina (529). He will be offered on behalf of the German stud by The Castlebridge Consignment. Newsells sells a colt out of the Listed-winning Dansili mare Iromea in Newmarket (599). The March-born bay comes from the fine family of dual French Classic heroine Golden Lilac and Prix du Moulin winner Grey Lilas. Japan is also represented at Arqana, with Haras du Cadran consigning a colt from the family of Japanese Derby hero Deep Brillante (676).
Mighty milers
The National Stud’s Group winner and Classic-placed Lope Y Fernandez has 42 foals catalogued at Tattersalls, with a further eight at Goffs and two at Arqana. The pick of his Newmarket lots include Whitsbury Manor Stud’s colt out of a half-sister to Showcasing and Camacho (376); the same team’s colt out of a winning sister to top-class sprinter The Tin Man (517); Petches Farm’s half-sister to stakes winner and Cheveley Park Stakes third Baileys Jubilee (724); and Glebe Farm Stables’ halfbrother to Rockfel Stakes winner Spain Burg (765). At Goffs, Ballinalard Stud offers a grandson of Debutante Stakes winner and Moyglare Stud Stakes runner-up Laughing Lashes (111), while Salcey Forest Stud’s filly from the family of Arc hero Rail Link (227) also takes the eye. The Arqana duo include La Riviere’s filly who hails from the family of Cassandra Go, Halfway To Heaven, Rhododendron and Auguste Rodin (343), Phoenix Stakes winner, 2,000

Racing Post Thursday, November 16, 2023
Guineas third and St James’s Palace Stakes second Lucky Vega is another who has strong representation at Tattersalls and Goffs, particularly at the latter. The Irish National Stud resident’s highlights at Kildare Paddocks include Ballylinch Stud’s colt out of Queen Mary Stakes winner Gilded who is a half-brother to stakes winner Fort Del Oro (437), Baroda Stud’s filly out of a Galileo sister to Group winner and Irish Derby and Melbourne Cup runner-up Tiger Moth (500), and Irene Scheldt’s halfsister to Group 2 winner Real Appeal (572). His Park Paddocks picks include Tinnakill House’s halfsister to Abbaye second Gold Vibe (720) and Peter Nolan’s half-sister to German Group 2 winner Donnerschlag (1027). His sole lot at Arqana is Haras de l’Aumônerie’s filly out of the winning Teofilo mare Gaita (454). Roseman was a Listed winner and second to The Revenant in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, when a place ahead of Palace Pier, and has eight representatives catalogued at Tattersalls. The son of Kingman and March Hare Stud sire is well bred, being a half-brother to three black-type horses and out of a winning Pivotal sister to
the top-class Immortal Verse, dam of Cheveley Park Stakes winner Tenebrism and Group 2-winning juvenile Statuette. His lots include March Hare’s filly out of the Listed winner Miss Cap Estel (205), Folland-Bowen Bloodstock’s colt from the family of dual Group winner Al Qareem (1253), and March Hare’s filly out of a sister to Listed winner Rosie Briar (1272).
The need for speed
Newsells Park Stud’s A’Ali was a high-class sprinter, winning the Norfolk Stakes, Flying Childers and Prix Robert Papin – all Group 2s – as a juvenile, and adding two more Group scores at three, including the Sapphire Stakes. By the late Society Rock and a consistently high-class talent, he is well represented at the sales, with 20 catalogued at Tattersalls, a pair at Goffs and one at Arqana. Those at Park Paddocks include Keith Harte’s filly out of the Listed-placed Maid A Million, a Kyllachy half-sister to Group winner Dandhu (313); Newsells’ colt out of Fred Darling Stakes winner Maureen (421); Whitwell Bloodstock’s half-brother to smart stakes-winning juvenile Rocket Rodney (479); and another by Newsells in the half-brother to Prestige Stakes
second Prado (651). His duo at Goffs are Hunting Hill Stud’s colt from the family of Group winner Beauty Inspire (44) and Baroda Stud’s grandson of the Balanchine Stakes-placed Prussian and from a page that includes 2023 Oaks heroine Soul Sister (988). Alkumait carried Shadwell’s silks to success in the Mill Reef Stakes and his page this year received a Classic boost when his Frankel halfbrother Chaldean won the 2,000 Guineas. The 2023 Listed winner and Flying Five Stakes runnerup Get Ahead is Alkumait’s full-sister. The son of Showcasing’s Goffs-bound lots include Munster Stud’s half-brother to Australian Group winner Deny Knowledge (847) and Churchland Stud’s filly out of an Oasis Dream half-sister to the smart Crystal Pegasus and a granddaughter of Crystal Star, the dam of Crystal Ocean (930). His sole lot at Tattersalls is Trickledown Stud’s filly out of the winning Charm Spirit mare Minuty (391). July Cup winner Starman
(below) enjoyed strong support at Tally-Ho Stud and his representation at the upcoming sales reflects that. His exciting foals at Tattersalls include Newsells’ filly out of a Frankel half-sister to Japanese Derby hero Deep Brillante (420); Ballintry Stud’s colt out of a daughter of Italian Oaks heroine Bright Generation and from the family of the brilliant Sea Of Class (748); Milford Stud’s filly out of Rockfel Stakes winner Cape Dollar (759); and The Castlebridge Consignment’s half-sister to British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes and Coronation Cup winner Emily Upjohn (921). Those at Goffs include Boherguy Stud’s half-brother to Anglesey Stakes winner Beauty Inspire (669), Pipe View Stud’s colt from the family of champion Manduro (802), and Olive O’Connor’s half-brother to Belmont Derby runner-up Canndal (920). Meanwhile, at Arqana, Haras du Grand Lys will sell a colt out of Italian stakes winner Sopran Verne (320).
Coventry Stakes winner, Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and Prix Morny second Nando Parrado exemplifies the current trends toward speed and lots of it. The son of Kodiac is another with plenty of his first progeny heading to the sales. Among them are the Tattersalls-bound half-brother to Sagaro Stakes runner-up Wise Eagle, consigned by Trickledown Stud (636), and Bryanstown House Stud’s halfbrother to this year’s Group 2 Grand Prix de Deauville winner Jack Darcy (835), who last month fetched 280,000gns at Park Paddocks during the Autumn Horses In Training Sale. Nando Parrado’s Goffs lots include the Irish National Stud’s filly from the active family of Emily Upjohn, Hurricane Lane and Harzand (170), Kilmore Stud’s halfbrother to City of York Stakes winner Dream Eater (470), and Milltown House Stud’s colt, a half-brother to Group winner Lola Showgirl (684). Fellow high-class juvenile Supremacy is another young stallion who appeals to a large section of the market, as a Middle Park Stakes winner from the family of champion sprinter Harry Angel. The Yeomanstown stallion is duly well stocked at the sales and his eyecatchers at
Tattersalls include Meadowlands Stud’s halfbrother to Listed winner Kimngrace (640) and Tinnakill House’s colt out of stakes winner Mary Boleyn (912). At Goffs, they include Barouche Stud’s colt out of a sister to Princess Margaret Stakes winner Angel’s Hideaway (422), Tara Stud’s colt out of a Galileo half-sister to Golden Jubilee and Sprint Cup winner Society Rock (520), and The Castlebridge Consignment’s half-brother to 2023 juvenile Group winner Caught U Looking (620).

Baaeed mares out to prove a major force in the ring Kitty Trice with the lowdown on mares in foal to new sires
S
HADWELL’S brilliant six-time Group 1 winner and world champion turf performer Baaeed was strongly supported in his first season at stud this year and he has healthy representation with mares in foal at the sales. His 13 catalogued mares in foal at Tattersalls include Fittocks Stud’s Baisse, the dam of Australian Group 1 winner Best Of Days (1655); Barton Sales’ German 1,000 Guineas winner Unforgettable Filly (1661); the same stud’s Malakoot, a Dubawi sister to Al Hilalee and half-sister to Prix Vermeille heroine Teona (1718); and Minster Enterprises’ Patronising, a Galileo half-sister to Lillie Langtry (1824). There is a single mare consigned at Goffs, but that is undoubtedly a case of quality over quantity as she is the winning Galileo mare Raja Ampat (1259). Bred by the Niarchos family and consigned by Norelands, the eight-year-old is a sister to three black-type winners in Mount Everest, Yucatan and Faufiler, as well as a half-sister to Group 2 scorer Planet Five. They are out of champion Six Perfections, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Mile, Prix Jacques le Marois and Prix Marcel Boussac. At Arqana, Ecurie des
Monceaux offers Lucilia, an unraced half-sister to Rockfel Stakes winner Hello You (237). Fellow Shadwell Group 1 winner and Derrinstown Stud sire Minzaal offers a different – but no less attractive – profile to breeders as a Sprint Cupwinning son of the in-demand Mehmas. Also a winner of the Gimcrack Stakes at two, Minzaal has six mares in foal to him catalogued at Goffs and two at Tattersalls. Goffs-bound are Ringfort Stud’s Verbalise, a sister to National Stakes winner Verbal Dexterity (1313), and Tara Stud’s Mzyoon, dam of two winners to date and half-sister to top-class sprinter Society Rock (1379). Heading to Tattersalls is Upstanding, Plantation Stud’s Pivotal sister to Lockinge Stakes winner Virtual (1337). Coolmore’s brilliantly fast and precocious champion two-year-old Blackbeard covered a top-quality book of 195 mares in his debut season and has 13 mares in foal to him catalogued at Goffs. These include The Castlebridge Consignment’s Sea Clare, a daughter of Sea The Stars out of Group 2 winner Creggs Pipes – a close relation to this year’s Prix Saint-Alary winner Jannah Rose (1073) – as well as Grenane House Stud’s Straw Hat, a Galileo sister to the high-class Telescope (1081). At Tattersalls, the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes winner has nine mares carrying to him, including Norelands Stud’s Spirit Bear, a daughter of Gustav Klimt’s Group-winning
sister Wonderfully and from Prince Faisal’s family of Kodiac, Invincible Spirit and Rafha (1496), and Jamie Railton’s Graph, a Frankel half-sister to Musidora Stakes winner Shutter Speed (1617). Mares in foal to Blackbeard being sold at Arqana include Haras des Capucines’ Pearl Chavez, a half-sister to Prix Jean Prat winner Aesop’s Fables (42), and Haafithah, Haras de Beaufay’s Nathaniel half-sister to British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes winner Eshaada (247). Other rapid and precocious juveniles who retired to stud in 2023 were Tally-Ho resident Persian Force, winner of the July Stakes, and Flying Childers Stakes scorer Caturra, both by a renowned juvenile source in Mehmas. Persian Force’s sole mare in foal to him at Goffs is AK Thoroughbreds’ Mystic Gybe, a half-sister to Australian Group 3 winner Jaameh and from the family of stakes winner and Prix de l’Opera runner-up Mona Lisa (1052). Caturra’s group at Tattersalls include Barton Sales’ Marygate Stakes winner Beldale Memory (1965) and the National Stud’s Garde, a Kodiac mare from the family of the top-class Immortal Verse (1986). Darley’s 2023 first-season sires and Group 1-winning sprinters Perfect Power and Naval Crown are other new sires with mares in foal at upcoming sales. Perfect Power, by Ardad and a winner of the Prix Morny, Middle Park and Commonwealth Cup, has ten catalogued at Tattersalls,
‘Perfect Power, by Ardad and a winner of the Prix Morny, Middle Park and Commonwealth Cup, has ten catalogued at Tattersalls’
including Upper Street, Barton Sales’ daughter of Dansili and champion Islington (1967), and Houghton Bloodstock’s Alzahra, dam of 2023 American Grade 3 winner Amy C (2081). Naval Crown, whose toplevel strike came in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes and who is now one of six sons of Dubawi on the Darley roster, has seven mares in foal to him catalogued at Goffs and three at Tattersalls. Those at Goffs include AK Thoroughbreds’ Speciality, by Lawman and out of multiple Group 1 winner Pride (1179), and Irish Emerald Stud’s Fifth Wonder, the dam of Italian Listed winner Haven Park and from the family of St Leger hero Arctic Cosmos (1402). Among Naval Crown’s representatives at Tattersalls
are Sirya Star, a Raven’s Pass half-sister to 2022 Superlative Stakes winner and this year’s French 2,000 Guineas runnerup Isaac Shelby (1654), and the Royal Studs’ Shama, dam of Italian Listed winner Calmly, and a half-sister to Group 1 winner Shamdala and full-sister to Listed winner Shamanova (1959). Bayside Boy stands alongside his sire New Bay at Ballylinch Stud and the Queen Elizabeth II and Champagne Stakes winner is well represented at the sales. Those mares in foal to him catalogued at Goffs include Whitethorn Bloodstock’s One Sweet Day, by Invincible Spirit and a half-sister to Group 2-winning juvenile Fighting Irish (1298). Those at Tattersalls include
Newsells Park Stud’s Elas Ruby, a stakes winner and second in the Prix de Malleret (1467), Ballylinch’s Chrysocolla, a Sea The Stars half-sister to Prix Greffulhe winner Ocovango (1487), and Cheveley Park Stud’s Puy Mary, a Pivotal half-sister to Jersey Stakes winner Molatham and dual Listed winner Perfection (1649). At Arqana, La Motteraye Consignment offers Aspen Gorl, a winning daughter of Sea The Moon and relation of the influential Fall Aspen, the page going back to Timber Country and Dubai Millennium (668). State Of Rest was a thoroughly admirable and talented globetrotter on the track, his wins including the

Cox Plate, Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Prix Ganay. Now ensconced at Rathbarry Stud, the son of Starspangledbanner has plenty to recommend him and it would appear breeders agree. Among the mares in foal to him catalogued at Goffs is Baroda Stud’s Divanova, a Lope De Vega half-sister to German 1,000 Guineas winner Nyaleti and fellow Group 2 scorer Sir Patrick Moore (1199). Baroda also consigns Valle De La Luna, a Galileo sister to stakes winner Up Helly AA who forms part of the Niarchos family’s draft (1208). Mares in foal to State Of Rest entered at Tattersalls include Barton Sales’ Hidden Gem, a Shamardal half-sister to Emily Upjohn (1379), and Juddmonte’s Strelka, a Kingman sister to Melbourne Cup runner-up Emissary and half-sister to Derby and Arc hero Workforce (1515), Buyers at Arqana have the offering of the Aga Khan Studs’ Imera, a winning daughter of Paco Boy from the family of Hong Kong Listed winner and Group 1-placed Mighty High (476). Ballyhane Stud’s Group 2 winner Space Traveller, who was also placed at the top level three times, has mares in foal catalogued at Goffs. They include Benefaction, Forenaghts Stud’s winning Nathaniel half-sister to Grade 1 winner Shamdinan (1429), and Castle Hill Stud’s Catwalk
‘The champion stayer and National Stud resident Stradivarius has mares in foal to him entered at Goffs and Tattersalls’ Queen, a daughter of Listed winner Fashionable and halfsister to dual Group 3 winner and Irish Oaks runner-up Jack Naylor (1449). The hugely popular champion stayer and National Stud resident Stradivarius has mares in foal to him entered at Goffs and Tattersalls. Going through the ring at Goffs will be Scarlet Sonnet, consigned by Chapel Stud and who was off the mark at the first time of asking as a twoyear-old on the track, it should be noted (1482). The daughter of Invincible Spirit is out of the Stravinsky mare Sahara Sonnet, winner of a three-year-old fillies’ maiden at Clonmel in her time with John Oxx and a half-sister to Ribbesdale winner Sahara Slew from the family of Great Voltigeur winner Zalazl and the high-class L’Emigrant. One of the more intriguing lots of offer at Park Paddocks is Tweenhills’ Churchill mare Lady Clementine, a daughter of Listed winner and Flying Childers Stakes runner-up Wind Fire who is sold in foal to Golden Pal, the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner and Ashford Stud sire (1629).

All eyes on Dubawi colt
I
N THE mix for leading honours at the November Foal Sale will be Springbank Way Stud’s Dubawi colt out of Galileo’s Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Nightime, his first of 99 individual Group/Grade 1 winners (767). The colt is a brother to the 2020 world champion and first-crop yearling sire Ghaiyyath, who sold to John Ferguson for €1,100,000 at this sale in 2015. Another fullbrother, the dual winner Al Nafir, cost even more at the same auction four years later when Godolphin were again the buyers, going to €1,200,000. Ghaiyyath was a Group 3 winner at two and three before landing the Grosser Preis von Baden at four by a
thumping 14 lengths. He was even better at five, winning the Coronation Cup, CoralEclipse and Juddmonte International. Another sibling to the foal selling here is Zhukova, by Fastnet Rock and winner of the Grade 1 Man o’ War Stakes. She is also the dam of three-time winner and Listedplaced First Ruler. A filly from the second crop of Ghaiyyath will be offered by Baroda Stud, and she should spark plenty of interest as a half-sibling to a Group 1-winning juvenile (559). She is out of the unraced Cape Cross mare Queen Of Carthage, whose most notable offspring from three individual winners is Phoenix Stakes scorer Lucky Vega. It is a page full of quality as
Queen Of Carthage is out of the influential Prix de l’Opera winner Satwa Queen, the granddam of 2022 and 2023 top-level scorer Nations Pride and of Australian crack Militarize. Cracksman’s yearlings proved popular once again in the ring and off the back of his unbeaten son Ace Impact’s outstanding campaign topped by his Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe success, his foals should turn heads too. The Castlebridge Consignment offers Cracksman’s March-born colt out of the smart Dynaformer mare Meeznah, winner of the Group 2 Park Hill and Group 3 Continues page 14

BREEDING STOCK SALES GOFFS From page 12
Offered by The Castlebridge Consignment, her dam Hilltop Ranger is a Bushranger halfsister to the July Cup and Sprint Cup winner, as well as Mill Reef Stakes winner Pierre Lapin. They are in turn out of Great Joy, the dam of dual Hong Kong Group 1 winner Xtension and the granddam of Middle Park Stakes winner Supremacy. Swordlestown Little’s Nisriyna has proved that you don’t have to spend big to get beautiful. The Aga Khan-bred Intikhab mare was picked up by Jim Bradley for just €2,000 from the Aga’s draft at the Goffs November Sale in 2010 yet has since produced six individual winners. Three are black-type horses, chief among them being dual Group 3 winner and St Leger second Arrest, and their Dark Angel half-brother is bound to end up on many a shortlist (768).
Niarchos draft not the only show in town
The Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale is headlined by the Niarchos family’s outstanding draft, but there is plenty of quality elsewhere for buyers to tuck in to, including teams from the Aga Khan Studs, Godolphin, The Castlebridge Consignment and Baroda Stud. Baroda offers Bisous Y Besos (1250), the dam of the tough as teak multiple Group winner and Group 1-placed Oscula. She is offered in foal to Darley’s champion first-season sire Blue Point as a big added bonus. Another exciting offering is Manister House Stud’s Laurelita (1246), a winning daughter of High Chaparral and the dam of dual Grade 1 winner Fev Rover, also third to Mother Earth in the 1,000 Guineas when trained by Richard Fahey in Britain. Fev Rover was an easy winner of both the Beverly D Stakes and EP Taylor Stakes this year for Mark Casse, before finishing unplaced in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf this month. Newtown Stud consigns Listed winner and Irish Oaks third Cairde Go Deo (1232), a high-class daughter of
‘The Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale is headlined by the Niarchos family’s outstanding draft, but there is plenty of quality elsewhere for buyers to tuck in to, including teams from the Aga Khan Studs, Godolphin, The Castlebridge Consignment and Baroda Stud’ Camelot trained by Ger Lyons, while another filly of note is last month’s Group 2 Challenge Stakes winner and this year’s 1,000 Guineas third Matilda Picotte (1258). The Sioux Nation filly, who was making it back-to-back stakes wins at Newmarket for the Kieran Cotter yard, having taken the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster the previous month, has all the ingredients to either continue racing or take up a second career at paddocks. Multiple Group winner and Group 1-placed Insinuendo (1252) is another highly attractive proposition as a broodmare prospect, hailing from the family of Arc winners Detroit and Carnegie. The Gleneagles six-yearold’s career highlight came in the 2021 Group 2 Kilboy Estate Stakes, while she has also struck in two Group 3s and was third to Emily Upjohn in last year’s British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Darting back to the Niarchos draft, while Alpha Centauri and Alpine Star feature in our opening spread, Albigna (1212) is well worth a mention too. The six-year-old by Zoffany is out of Selkirk’s daughter Freedonia, also dam of Listed winner Polybius and his fullsister the speedy winner No Lippy, and was an especially potent force at two, when she won the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes and the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac – by two and a half lengths, no less. Her yearling colt by Wootton Bassett set Qatar Racing and China Horse Club back €460,000 at Goffs Orby in September, and she goes through the Kildare Paddocks ring herself in foal to St Mark’s Basilica.

Lillie Langtry Stakes (505). Meeznah is out of the stakeswinning and Group-placed Sadler’s Wells mare String Quartet, herself out of the Irish Oaks runner-up Fleur Royale. Another foal who takes the eye is Newtown Stud’s Kingman filly out of a Sea The Stars sister to Lanwades sire Sea The Moon, the German Derby winner responsible for the Hamburg Classic hero this year in Fantastic Moon, and also sire of 2023 German Oaks heroine Muskoka (581) The filly’s dam Sea The World was unraced but has the bluest of blood as a sister to Sea The Moon, as well as Listed winner and Groupplaced Sea The Sky. It is an excellent family as the filly’s second dam is the Monsun mare Sanwa, a sister to two more German Derby heroes in Schiaparelli and Samum plus fellow German Classic heroine Salve Regina. There was another Classic update in 2023 as another fullsibling, Sortita, is the granddam of Italian Derby winner Goldenas. Newtown Stud also offers another very well-related individual in the Starspangledbanner brother to Group 3 winner and multiple Group 1-placed Flotus (686). Flotus was quick and precocious, winning on her debut and also taking the Listed Two Yrs Old Trophy and finishing a length second to Tenebrism in the Cheveley Park Stakes, She trained on to win the Summer Stakes at York, and also finished third in the Commonwealth Cup and Flying Five Stakes. She and her brother are out of the Invincible Spirit mare Floriade, a sister to Phoenix Stakes third Lottie Dod, and it is a family filled with Group winners and top-level performers, including Gharam, Mammas Girl and Master Of War. Too Darn Hot’s progeny can do little wrong on the track or in the sales ring and his filly from the family of champion sprinter Harry Angel catches the eye (706).

BREEDING STOCK SALES TATTERSALLS
Foals from stars Japan and Havana sure to be popular
J
UDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL and Grand Prix de Paris winner Japan is now based in Germany, but he is represented by two lots at the foal sale at Park Paddocks, which precedes the mares’ auction, including a colt (599) offered by his breeder Newsells Park Stud. He is out of the Listed winner Iromea, a Dansili halfsister to French Group 3 scorer Cloudy Dawn. Their dam, the winning Pivotal mare In The Mist, is a half-sister to Prix du Moulin winner Grey Lilas, the dam of Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and Prix de Diane heroine Golden Lilac. Havana Grey mania has well and truly set in, and among the Whitsbury Manor Stud sire sensation’s foals catalogued at the sale is the brother to Group 3
Cornwallis Stakes winner Rumstar (638). The dam, Stellarta, a seventime winner by Sakhee’s Secret, hails from the speedy family of Duke of York Stakes winner and July Cup runnerup Grey Desire. A Darley resident bound to be in favour is the sensational Blue Point, sire of Prix JeanLuc Lagardere winner Rosallion and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint victor Big Evs from his first crop of runners, their success leading to his 2024 stud fee being hiked to €60,000 from €35,000. Ballylinch Stud offers a Blue Point half-brother to two speedy and precocious sorts in Molecomb Stakes winner Brown Sugar and Sirenia winner Burnt Sugar (862). Furnace Mill Stud’s Whatami had her Frankel colt – now named Delius – sell to MV
Magnier for 675,000gns at this sale in 2021 and her Kingman filly stands out too (874). She is a half-sister to Listed Wolferton Stakes winner and Group 2-placed Juan Elcano, and Group winner Nkosikazi, while further down the page is Whazzat, James Garfield and the prolific American champion Uni. Another Kingman foal of interest is Whitsbury Manor Stud’s half-brother to its new recruit Dragon Symbol, who was first past the post in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup, only to be demoted to second (909). The Harpers’ team also consigns as the very next lot a Showcasing brother to Group 1 sire and high-class sprinter Tasleet (910). Another foal with a famous sibling is West Blagdon Stud’s

New Bay colt out of Hayyona, as he is a brother to Champion Stakes winner Bay Bridge (942). Meanwhile, Norelands Stud’s colt by Pinatubo may receive further black-type updates courtesy of his halfsister Infinite Cosmos, assuming she stays in training at four (946). This is the mighty family of world champion Crystal Ocean. Frankel, who this year will win the British and Irish sires’ title for the second time, has an inevitably strong line-up of foals. They include Ashbrittle Stud’s colt out of Ambition (950); Voute Sales’ colt out of a Dubawi half-sister to Zoffany and Rostropovich (963); European Sales Management’s filly out of American Grade 1 winner Blowout (972); Fittocks Stud’s colt relation to Lady Bowthorpe (980); and Mickley Stud’s filly out of Temple Stakes winner and Group 1-placed Lady Liberty (989). The Showcasing half-brother to Frankel’s 2,000 Guineas and Dewhurst winner Chaldean looks another sale highlight (965). The colt’s full-sister, Get Ahead, was a Listed winner in May and runner-up in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes, while his Kingman half-sister sold to Juddmonte for 1,000,000gns at this sale 12 months ago. The dam, Suelita, has thrown only winners, having also produced Alkumait, The Broghie Man, Gloves Lynch and Praised, and her latest youngster is bound to turn plenty of heads.
Cachet for the Sceptre Sessions
The recently retired Cachet (lot 1799) will be the first 1,000 Guineas winner to be sold as a horse in training at Tattersalls since Ravinella in 1988, though she is just one of numerous highlights at the mare sale which starts on December 4. A tough and consistent performer by Aclaim, the Tattersalls Ascot and Craven Breeze-Up Sale graduate was off the mark at the first time of asking for George Boughey and Highclere at Newmarket. A busy juvenile campaign also included a third behind Inspiral in the Fillies’ Mile. After winning the Nell Gwyn Stakes on her reappearance last year, she held on gamely under James Doyle in the Guineas to deny Prosperous Voyage by a neck. Cachet so nearly became a dual Guineas heroine, showing the same battling spirit in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp as she had displayed on the Rowley Mile, going down by a head to Mangoustine. The Hyde Park Stud-bred filly famously completed a broodmare sire double for Teofilo at Newmarket in 2022 – with the ill-fated Coroebus Continues page 20

having won the 2,000 Guineas – and she is out of Poyle Sophie, a half-sister to Poyle Meg, dam of American Grade 3 winner Whisper Not. Poyle Sophie went through the Park Paddocks ring at the mare sale in 2018, selling to Hyde Park from the National Stud for just 3,000gns. She was carrying Cachet, and her daughter will not be leaving Tattersalls on a bid of four figures. Another Group 1 winner from 2022 to be offered at the sale is Lezoo (1766), Zoustar’s Cheveley Park Stakes winner. Trained by Ralph Beckett for Marc Chan and Andrew Rosen, the Chasemore Farm-bred three-year-old is a pin-up for Tattersalls Book 3, at which she sold to Hamish Macauley for 77,000gns in 2021. Also a €110,000 graduate from Arqana’s May Breeze-Up when selling to Atlas Bloodstock from Tally-Ho Stud, Lezoo was quick to show her talents on the track. She won her first two starts, including the Listed Empress Stakes at Newmarket, and was then unlucky not to remain unbeaten when losing out to Mawj by half a length in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, when carried left in the final 110 yards. She bounced back to win the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot before providing her shuttle sire with a first Group 1 success in the northern hemisphere back at Newmarket. A Listed winner this year – again at Newmarket – the filly is a half-sister to winners including the Group 3-placed Navassa Island, by Territories, and is out of the Groupwinning Red Clubs mare Roger Sez. The Beckett yard also says farewell to the aforementioned Prosperous Voyage (1811), who two starts after running Cachet close in the 1,000 Guineas became a Group 1 winner herself when causing a big upset against the 1-7 Inspiral in the Falmouth Stakes. A daughter of the late Zoffany – whose broodmare

sire record includes Prix Marcel Boussac winner Tiger Tanaka – she hails from the fantastic Juddmonte family of champion European two-yearold Xaar, Cityscape, Bated Breath and Logician. Prosperous Voyage was a winner on her second start at two and showed a high level of form in Pattern company that term, including when splitting Inspiral and Cachet when runner-up in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile. She is also a stakes winner at four, having landed the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at
Epsom this year. Park Paddocks’ showpiece breeding stock event contains jewels wherever you look, another being Via Sistina (1788), a genuine rags to riches tale given she sold to Stephen Hillen for 5,000gns at the December Yearling Sale in 2019. Bred on the highly potent Fastnet Rock-Galileo cross, Via Sistina was unraced at two but won on her second start at three for Joe Tuite, beating Frankel’s sister Chiasma by five and a half lengths at Goodwood.
On moving to Boughey’s yard following Tuite’s retirement last summer, she confirmed her earlier promise by finishing a neck second to Creative Flair in the Pride Stakes and then winning the Group 3 Prix Fille de l’Air at Toulouse. This year she started with a six-length defeat of subsequent Nassau Stakes winner Al Husn in the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes, and then on her first crack at Group 1 company delivered by landing the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh. Via Sistina has since placed
on all three subsequent starts at the highest level, finishing third to Nashwa in the Falmouth Stakes, losing out by a nose to Mqse De Sevigne in the Prix Jean Romanet, and then running arguably the best race of her career last month when second to King Of Steel in the Champion Stakes. The Laundry Cottage Studbred mare has the pedigree to back up her strong race form too. Her Galileo dam was unraced but is a half-sister to tip-top sprinter Kingsgate Native, winner of the Golden
Jubilee Stakes and Nunthorpe. Added as a wildcard only yesterday was Guy Pariente’s Kensea (1825), the dam of a pair of Group 1 winners and who will be offered through Ballyhimikin Stud in foal to the exciting Zarak. The Listed-winning daughter of Kendargent has produced four winners from as many runners, notably two top-class sons by Galiway in Sealiway – winner of the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and Champion Stakes – and last month’s Criterium International victor Sunway.

BREEDING STOCK SALES ARQANA ARQANA DECEMBER BREEDING STOCK vv Where and when Arqana
sales complex, Deauville; December 9-12 vv 2022 results 738 sold from 927 offered (80 per cent) for turnover of €56,711,000, an average of €76,844 and median of €17,250
DEAUVILLE
I
T IS truly the end of an era as Gestut Ammerland’s dispersal headlines Arqana’s Vente d’Elevage, which comprises mares, fillies and foals. As noted in our opening spread, while Sea The Moon’s sister Sea The Sky is an obvious highlight among the baker’s dozen catalogued from Ammerland, the team who bred and raced dual French Classic hero and leading sire Lope De Vega and jointly bred and raced Arc hero Waldgeist also offer Golden Gazelle (135). A winning Galileo sister to Prix de Diane and Poule d’Essai des Pouliches heroine Golden Lilac, she is sold in foal to 2019 European champion juvenile Pinatubo. Also among the Ammerland dispersal is Lady Frankel (172), who landed the Group 3 Prix de Lieurey over the road from the sales complex at Deauville and was also Group 1-placed. The Frankel halfsister to Lope De Vega is sold carrying to New Bay. The operation also offers Wildfeder (209), a winning Galileo sister to Waldgeist who is in foal to Siyouni. A Classic heroine heading for auction in Deauville is 2019 Prix de Diane victress Channel (215), consigned by La Motteraye. By a burgeoning broodmare sire in Nathaniel, there seems plenty of upside to Channel, who has a once-raced juvenile daughter of Sea The Stars and a yearling colt by Kingman in the pipeline. What’s more, she is sold in foal to Wootton Bassett, who had a ninth individual Group/Grade 1 winner when juvenile son Unquestionable struck at the Breeders’ Cup. Channel, a Goffs Orby and Arqana Breeze-Up graduate, more than earned her keep by accumulating nearly £550,000 in prize-money, the biggest chunk coming when she landed France’s version of the Oaks at Chantilly. Channel is out of a Dansil daughter of Cheveley Park Stakes winner Magical Romance, which adds an extra layer of class to her considerable appeal. Another standout lot comes from Haras de Bouquetot, which offers last year’s Prix de l’Opera winner Place Du Carrousel (184). The Lope De Vega filly saw off the attentions of Nashwa and Above The Curve that day
End of an era at Longchamp in October 2022, while in this year’s Group 2 Prix Foy she defeated Prix Ganay and Royal-Oak victor Iresine and German Derby hero Sammarco. Place Du Carrousel, also the winner of a couple of Group 3s, is out of Group 2 winner Traffic Jam, and from the family of Liille Langtry, Minding and Tuesday. Other notable broodmare or race filly offerings include Group 2 winner and Prix de Diane fourth Sibila Spain (204), consigned by Haras de l’Hotellerie. The five-year-old blueblooded Frankel mare won the Prix du Muguet last year, is also a Listed winner and is sold in foal to Dubawi. Also for sale is La Parisienne (189), beaten an agonising short neck by Nashwa in last year’s Prix de Diane. The daughter of Zarak was then defeated by the grand total of a neck when third in the Prix Vermeille behind Sweet Lady
and Lilac Road. She is offered by Haras du Cadran. Others to note in Deauville include this year’s Nell Gwyn Stakes winner Mammas Girl (195) and Group 3 Prix d’Arenberg winner Lady Hollywood (192). Both fillies are consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux.
Preis der Diana a foal theme
Gestut Etzean offers the first progeny out of its homebred Preis der Diana heroine Palmas, a colt foal by Frankel (182). The January-born foal is not only out of a Classic winner but hails from a top-notch family to boot, one that includes Group winners Peace In Motion, Peace Royale, Peaceful Love and Pao Alto. Another exciting foal offering is Haras de Montaigu’s Zarak colt out of a Dalakhani daughter of Preis der Diana winner Salve Regina (286), while the same operation
consigns a Kingman filly out of a stakes-winning Siyouni halfsister to Derby hero Wings Of Eagles (127). Haras de Saint Julien presents a Persian King colt out of Coronation Stakes and Prix Rothschild winner Watch Me, the top-notch daughter of Olympic Glory who also landed a Group 3 and two Listed contests (152). Another to note is Haras des Capucines’ Ghaiyyath halfbrother to dual Hong Kong Group 1 winner Helene Paragon, also a winner in France under his former name of Sir Andrew (156). J.K. Thoroughbreds consigns a colt by leading French stallion Galiway who hails from the black-type family of German Derby hero Sammarco (276). The foal’s profile will have been boosted last month by his sire having a second Group 1 winner in the form of Criterium International victory Sunway. Others to look out for
