Lots to Keep an Eye on at Tattersalls July Sale

The Tattersalls July Sale gets underway at Park Paddocks July 7 and buyers will be spoiled for choice, with broodmares, fillies out of training, and horses in training among hundreds of lots on offer. Here, we take a look at some of the choicest sets to come under the hammer. 

Frankieta (Lot 73)

Frankel —Sleek , (Oasis Dream )

Consigned by Carisbrooke Stud

Frankieta, an unraced Frankel half sister to French listed winner and Shadwell Rockfel Stakes (G2) runner-up Stylistique —also second in two further group 2 contests at Meydan—would appeal as a welcome addition to any broodmare band. 

The 3-year-old hails from a fine black-type family, out of an unraced full sister to Bye Bye Birdie , winner of the Grangecon Stud Balanchine Stakes (G3) for Aidan O'Brien and the Coolmore partners and who is also the dam of Comer Group International Irish St. Leger Trial (G3) scorer Delphi  and Moyglare Jewels Blandford Stakes (G2) third Credenza . 

Further back in the page, Frankieta can count Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1T) scorer Dank , Prix Marcel Boussac Criterium des Pouliches Royal Barriere (G1) heroine Sulk , and Hong Kong group 1 winner Eagle Mountain  among her relations. 

Auriga (Lot 155)

Teofilo —Look Busy , (Danetime )

Consigned by WH Bloodstock

Auriga, a daughter of Teofilo, received a timely boost ahead of her date in the Park Paddocks ring when her Night of Thunder  half sister, Keep Busy , added a second listed contest to her name when winning the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Land O'Burns Stakes at Ayr last month. 

Consigned by WH Bloodstock, the filly is out of Betfred.com Temple Stakes (G2) winner Look Busy , a Danetime half sister to Darley Prix Morny (G1) scorer and Springfield House Stud resident Unfortunately .

Look Busy has also produced the listed-placed Kyllachy  mare Looks A Million , proving herself equally high-class in her second vocation.

Roodica (Lot 162)

Due Diligence —Roodle, (Xaar )

Consigned by Baroda Stud

From the family of the mighty Roodeye , the dam of Shadwell's Qatar Sussex Stakes (G1) hero and exciting new sire Mohaather , Roodica has plenty going for her in terms of her pedigree. 

The 4-year-old can also count Queen Anne (G1) winner Accidental Agent  as a half brother, while she is also related to the multiple American grade 2 victress Prize Exhibit  and a number of stakes-placed performers, including Prix Morny runner-up Gallagher .

Hooray (Lot 175)

Invincible Spirit —Hypnotize , (Machiavellian)

Consigned by Cheveley Park Stud

The Cheveley Park consignment regularly yields stars—just think of Golden Horde 's dam Entreat  selling to BBA Ireland for 14,000 guineas (US$19,144) at this sale five years ago—and Hooray , a champion daughter of Invincible Spirit, stands out on the page. 

The winner of the Adnams Cheveley Park (G1) and Jaguar Cars Lowther Stakes (G2) for Sir Mark Prescott, the 13-year-old sells in foal to the Newmarket stud's first-season sire Ulysses  having produced three minor winners, including dual winner Restive Spirit. 

Out of a stakes winner in Hypnotize, Hooray's page received another black-type update when Nymphadora , a daughter of No Nay Never, and out of her Pivotal  half sister Bewitchment, landed the Langleys Solicitors British E.B.F. Marygate Stakes at York in May. 

Desert Star (Lot 265)

Dubawi —Desert Blossom , (Shamardal )

Consigned by Godolphin 

One of a number of typically well-bred lots offered by Godolphin, Desert Star heads to the sale as a winner in France on her most recent start for Alex Pantall.

Out of the group 2-placed Shamardal mare Desert Blossom—herself, a half sister to two stakes performers—the daughter of Dubawi holds significant paddock value being a full sister to Duneflower , a listed winner and runner-up in the Betway Atalanta Stakes (G3) and Prix Bertrand de Tarragon (G3) from only nine starts. 

Desert Star's third dam is Gilbey Gin Sweet Solera Stakes scorer Gharam , a daughter of Green Dancer who finished third in the Dubai Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French One Thousand Guineas, G1), while she can also count South African graded winner Third Runway among her relations. 

Garswood (Lot 340)

Dutch Art —Penchant , (Kyllachy )

Consigned by Houghton Bloodstock

A rare opportunity for buyers to snap up a proven stallion, Garswood  will take to the Tattersalls ring as the final lot on the opening day of the July Sale. 

Winner of the LARC Prix Maurice de Gheest (G1) and Bet365 Lennox Stakes (G2), as well as having a number of group-race placings to his name, the 11-year-old son of Dutch Art has sired two group winners in the form of Prix des Reservoirs (G3) scorer Cala Tarida  and Prix du Bois (G3) winner Little Kim .

Having stood at Cheveley Park Stud for five seasons, Garswood then switched to Haras de la Huderie's roster for two years. He hails from a fine Cheveley Park family, too, with his dam a three-parts sister to Leslie Harrison Memorial Nell Gwyn (G3) winner Infallible , the dam of Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (G1) heroine Veracious  and Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile (G2) winner Mutakayyef . 

Garswood was also provided with a Royal Ascot winner last month when the talented Significantly  took out the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes.

Beat Le Bon (Lot 426)

Wootton Bassett —Frida La Blonde, (Elusive City )

Consigned by East Everleigh Stables

A full brother to Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (G1) winner and Haras de Bouquetot's new sire Wooded , Beat Le Bon  has a CV with plenty of recent high-class form. 

The 5-year-old Wootton Bassett gelding has several high-class handicap wins to his name as well as placings in the AJN Steelstock Sovereign Stakes (G3), Racing UK Two Year Old Trophy, and Elusive Bloodstock E.B.F. Stallions King Richard III Stakes for Richard Hannon and Sullivan Bloodstock. 

With four wins and seven placings from 23 starts, Beat Le Bon could have plenty more to offer and may well attract international buyers looking for a classy and tough individual. 

King Carney (Lot 444)

Australia —Petit Trianon, (Dansili )

Consigned by Bedford House Stables

A high-class juvenile for Charlie Fellowes, the son of Australia had connections dreaming after cozily winning the listed Ebfstallions.com Silver Tankard Stakes on his final 2-year-old start. 

It has not necessarily been straightforward for the 4-year-old since, although he has run well in class 2 handicaps last year and this term. 

A potentially attractive proposition for a smaller yard or international buyer, King Carney  can also boast a high-class page, with Prix de la Foret winner Etoile Montante , New York Stakes (G2T) victor Starformer , and this year's Eight Belles Stakes Presented by Smithfield (G2) victress Obligatory  among his family. 

Sempre (Lot 533)

Kingman —All Time, (Dansili)

Consigned by Juddmonte Farms

The Juddmonte Farms draft is always highly anticipated and among the leading operation's offering is Sempre, a daughter of Kingman and All Time, and a winning full sister to group 1 heroine Passage of Time  as well as the high-class Father Time  and Continuum .

It is perhaps unnecessary to point out the depth of this filly's page, but she can also count Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes (G1) heroine Timepiece , Sky Bet York Stakes (G2) victor, and National Stud first-season sire Time Test , plus multiple top-level winner Twice Over , among her family. 

The unraced 3-year-old, therefore, looks a potentially valuable asset to any breeding operation. 

Enthused (Lot 587)

Zoffany —Question Times , (Shamardal )

Consigned by Brickfield Equine

A winning half brother to Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (G1) hero Latrobe  and Kerrygold Irish Oaks (G1) runner-up Pink Dogwood , Enthused will not have gone under the radar for the three-day auction. 

The 4-year-old has raced only three times, including when picking up a Beverley novice in April, and there is no reason to suspect he cannot improve again. Having raced once in Hong Kong for John Size, he made his first run in Britain a winning one when repelling Yankee Stadium by half a length. 

His second dam, the winning Forever Times , has produced Japan Racing Association Sceptre Stakes (G3) heroine Sunday Times , herself the dam of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T) winner Newspaperofrecord  and Listed scorer Classical Times . 

Pierre Lapin (Lot 767)

Cappella Sansevero —Beatrix Potter, (Cadeaux Genereux )

Consigned by Carlburg Stables

Unbeaten in two starts as a juvenile, including when defeating Superlative Stakes scorer Mystery Power  in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes (G2), Pierre Lapin  is a fascinating entry on the final day of the July Sale. 

Having raced in the Commonwealth Cup (G1), the Lennox Stakes (G2), and Hungerford Stakes (G2) without success, the son of Nestle Supporting Irish Autism Action Round Tower Stakes (G3) winner Cappella Sansevero was subsequently gelded.

Fourth on his sole start this term, the 4-year-old is notably a half brother to Darley July Cup (G1) and Haydock 32red Sprint Cup (G1) winner Harry Angel , as well as the winning Golden Journey.

His second dam, the listed-placed Grand Lodge  mare Great Joy, is herself responsible for the dual BMW Champions Mile (G1) winner Xtension  and Triggers Broom, the dam of last season's Juddmonte Middle Park (G1) scorer Supremacy . 

Laafy (Lot 796)

Noble Mission —Miner's Secret, (Mineshaft  )

Consigned by Freemason Lodge Stables

A multiple-winning son of Noble Mission, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained gelding Laafy  has some useful form, including when listed-placed at Newmarket last September and when a fine second in the Old Newton Cup earlier that season. 

The 5-year-old is a half sister to Amsterdam Stakes (G2) winner Coal Front   and the listed-winning graded-placed Conquest Titan . 

Having also struck in a competitive class 2 handicap at Ascot last year, he is another who could pique interest from overseas buyers.
