NEWMARKET, UK -- Alessandro Marconi continued his compilation of a team of horses to compete in Europe and the UAE, adding 12 lots from the final session of the Tattersalls February Sale to bring his overall haul across the two days to 29. Three-year-old Baridi (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev) (lot 278), a winner last December for Stuart Williams, was sold through part-owner Robbie Mills's RMM Bloodstock for 100,000gns to top the list of Marconi's purchases for the day. Rated 74p by Timeform, the colt was bred by Moyns Park Stud. "I...

NEWMARKET, UK -- Records, records, records. It didn't feel particularly blockbusting on the final half-session of mares at Tattersalls, but that is the nature of any sale. Big days, quieter days. The days they all come for - Monday and Tuesday - certainly didn't fail to deliver some showstopping moments. It could have been predicted that Kia Joorabchian, after his spectacular spending spree at Book 1, and with plenty of stallions now at stud, would play a similarly prominent role during the December Sale, and his Amo Racing was again...

New dreams abound for Harry and Oliver Vigors, some of the youngest pinhookers to get in on the action at Tattersalls this week, with the pair going to 72,000gns to secure a Perfect Power (Ire) colt in partnership with Redwall Bloodstock.  That proved to be the sale-topping figure for the final session of what has been record-breaking foal trade at Tattersalls. In fact, such records had already been achieved by Friday when the 30,906,000 turnover for that memorable session exceeded what was spent during the entirety of this sale 12...

Tweenhills owner David Redvers has applauded Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony for speaking out against the government's budget announcement that limits inheritance tax for farms to £1m.  Despite having just overseen another memorable sale at Park Paddocks, where a new record was broken for the highest-priced horse sold at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses-In-Training Sale at 1.3 million gns, Mahony used that platform to highlight changes made in the budget that he says will have a "negative impact on the whole racing and breeding sector" in Britain. Agricultural property has been passed...

Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony outlined his concerns arising from the government's budget announcement when reflecting on what proved to be a memorable Autumn Horses-In-Training Sale that saw a record-high price paid for the 1.3 million gns Delius (GB) (Frankel {GB}) earlier in the week.  That Coolmore-owned three-year-old was sold on Wednesday to continue his career in Australia for trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott and Mahony praised the large cohort of international buyers who made the trip to Tattersalls for what has been another successful sale at Park Paddocks. Despite...

A total of 197 lots have been catalogued for the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale, which takes place at Park Paddocks on Monday, November 25. The catalogue features 11 siblings to Group 1 winners, including lot 63, a Dark Angel (Ire) half-sister to this year's Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Camille Pissarro (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) and the Commonwealth Cup winner and sire Golden Horde (Ire); lot 102, a Nathaniel (Ire) half-sister to this year's Irish Champion Stakes scorer Economics (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}); and lot 179, a Saxon Warrior (Jpn)...

NEWMARKET, UK -- The contrast could not have been more stark. From the high-flying bids of Book 1, the wave of a hand or catalogue was harder to spot on Friday as Books 3 and 4 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale drew to a close. If last week and the beginning of this week had an almost surreal air, this then was reality. Overall, however, there was little doubting since the close of Book 1 that this would be a vintage edition of the sale as a whole, and...

Last week's G3 Tattersalls Stakes winner The Waco Kid (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) is one of the highlights of the five-day Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale, which takes place at Park Paddocks from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 1. The Waco Kid is rated 109 and will be offered as lot 1059 by the Castlebridge Consignment, who are responsible for the largest draft of 178 horses in training from a catalogue comprised of 1,619 lots. The G3 Thoroughbred Stakes winner Epictetus (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) also features in their offering...

NEWMARKET, England--For the second consecutive year Havana Grey (GB) and Whitsbury Manor Stud were responsible for the highest-priced yearling at the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale as a filly by the in-demand stallion went the way of Alex Elliott, acting on behalf of Amo Racing, for 140,000gns during Tuesday's session at Park Paddocks. Lot 419 was the headline buy on a productive day for Elliott, who signed for the top three lots from the session in some shape or form. Lot 376, a Sergei Prokofiev colt offered by Chasemore Farm, is...
