98 Lots Catalogued for Tattersalls Online January Sale
A Breeding Right to Europe’s most exciting young sire HAVANA GREY headlines the catalogue for the Tattersalls Online January Sale, taking place from Tuesday 14th January to Wednesday 15th January with the catalogue now available to view at www.tattersallsonline.com. The first sale of the year features 64 horses in and out of training, 22 broodmares, 5 yearlings, 3 stores as well as Breeding Rights to ARDAD, HARRY ANGEL, HAVANA GREY and KAMEKO.
The Breeding Right to HAVANA GREY presents a unique opportunity to share in the success of Whitsbury Manor Stud’s leading first, second and third crop sire. The stallion has made an electric start to his career with 37 Stakes performers from his first three crops of racing age which includes 11 Group winners. Boasting a remarkable strike rate of 50 per cent winners to runners, his progeny are led by dual Group 1 winner VANDEEK, Group 2 July Stakes winner JASOUR and multiple Group/Listed performer SHOULDVEBEENARING. Yearlings by HAVANA GREY averaged £97,791 at the sales in 2024, all conceived from a £6,000 stud fee. The son of HAVANA GOLD stood for £55,000 in 2024.
The sale similarly presents a rare opportunity to invest in a Breeding Right to Tweenhills Stud’s up and coming sire KAMEKO, who has also got off to a fantastic start at stud. His first runners last year are highlighted by Group 1 Summer Stakes winner NEW CENTURY and Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes victor WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE who also placed third in the Group 1 Futurity Trophy Stakes. The son of KITTEN’S JOY subsequently had his stud fee raised to £20,000 ahead of the 2025 breeding season.
A highlight of the 46 horses offered in training in the sale is last start maiden winner WELL ENOUGH consigned by H.K. Racing. The three-year-old colt by COTAI GLORY caught the eye when finishing fourth on debut last month and backed that up just twelve days later when scoring by three quarters of a length over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton. The first foal out of a winning MOSS VALE mare, he hails from the family of Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner INDIAN HAVEN.
Another impressive winner last time out is the Howe Hill Farm consigned KING CHAOS, a winner of a novice race over 1m3f at Southwell two weeks ago. Having finished third on his first three starts, the son of KINGMAN appreciated the step up in distance to score by five lengths and earn a Timeform rating of 83 in doing so. The four-year-old gelding is a half-brother to four winners and is out of a GALILEO half-sister to Group 1 Falmouth Stakes winner SIMPLY PERFECT.
Other highlights among the horses in training include the 133-rated hurdler BOLDOG consigned by Joseph O’Brien’s Carriganog Stables, French hurdles and chase winner KOMTESA offered by Al Shambles Racing, Eoin McCarthy Racing’s recent Galway maiden hurdle winner SCOTCANTOU and dual-purpose performer SUNDIAL, one of three lots in the draft from Martinstown Stud.
There is something for both flat and National Hunt breeders among the 22 broodmares catalogued. Gillon Bloodstock consign MISS BATES who is offered in foal to FAR ABOVE. She is a half-sister to leading two-year-old ARIZONA BLAZE who was last seen finishing second in the Group 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint, having won the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes earlier in the year. Glebe Farm Stables will offer CLIMENE, a daughter of FRANKEL offered in foal to SPACE BLUES, who is set to have his first runner this year. Out of dual Listed placed mare PENNE, CLIMENE is a half-sister to Champion older horse in Germany MEANDRE and dual Group 1 Prix Rothschild winner MQSE DE SEVIGNE.
Among seven lots to feature in the draft from Alne Park Stud is the Grade 2 placed hurdler KALAHARI QUEEN who is in foal to Group 1 Ascot Gold Cup winner SUBJECTIVIST. She is offered alongside MALINAS mare HIT THE BOTTLE, also in foal to SUBJECTIVIST, and Group 3 placed mare HELLS BABE.
The five yearlings catalogued are by sires including GHAIYYATH, HARRY ANGEL and OCOVANGO whilst three stores in the sale include a duo by Alne Park’s resident stallion DINK and a four-year-old filly by POET’S WORD.
