Park Paddocks Ready as Yearlings Take Their Turn First

An exceptionally busy period for Park Paddocks kicks off with the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale Nov. 21, an event that has produced luminaries such as Darley Irish and Yorkshire Oaks (G1) heroine Sea of Class  and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (G1) winner Broome . 

The latter, a son of Australia , has since added this season's Hardwicke Stakes (G2) to his CV, while other group-winning graduates in 2022 include Prix Fille de l'Air (G3) scorer Via Sistina —picked up for just 5,000gns (US$6,751) by Stephen Hillen Bloodstock from Jamie Railton in 2019—and Premio Carlo d'Alessio (G3) winner Atzeco .

Another recent black type-winning graduate, Bipartisanship , took the Kathryn Crosby Stakes on the turf at Del Mar this month. The daughter of Bated Breath  sold from New England Stud to McKeever Bloodstock for 40,000gns ($54,006) in 2019. 

As for the potential standout lots in this year's sale, Glenvale Stud offers the only lot in the catalog by Frankel  (Lot 178), a half brother to two black-type winners, namely Jebel Ali Racecourse & Stables Anglesey Stakes (G3) scorer Peace Envoy  and dual Scandinavian group winner Our Last Summer. 

⏰ Selling at tomorrow's #TattsDecember Yearling Sale will begin at 11.00am.
