74 Entries Cataloged for Tatts Online December Sale

The Tattersalls Online December Sale has attracted a diverse catalog of 74 entries for the final online auction of 2022 to be held on the platform. The sale includes a collection of breeding rights, broodmares, yearlings, a single foal, and a stallion share in group 1-producing sire Almanzor . The catalog also features 40 horses in and out of training, as well as mares in foal to popular stallions, including Havana Grey  and Ardad . 

A feature highlight of the catalog is a breeding right to Whitsbury Manor Stud's brilliant young sire Havana Grey. A stallion in high demand, Havana Grey is the sire of 13 group/listed performers in his first crop with the group winners Rumstar , Eddie's Boy , and Lady Hollywood  amongst his 43 individual winners. Breeding rights are also offered in exciting young stallions Cracksman , Profitable , Territories , and the now French-based Ribchester  who will form part of the Darley roster at Haras du Logis in 2023. 

A stallion share in champion 3-year-old Almanzor provides another attractive opportunity for breeders. Standing at Haras d'Etreham in France, the sire enjoyed a successful season highlighted by Manzoice winning the Penfolds Victoria Derby (G1) and boasts 13 group/listed performers to date. He will stand for a fee of €25,000 (US$26,225) in 2023. 

An exciting wildcard addition to the sale is the young broodmare Sophie, a half sister to this year's QIPCO One Thousand Guineas (G1) winner Cachet . The daughter of Farhh  is offered in foal to Aclaim , carrying a three-quarter sibling to the classic winner. Other attractive filly and mare offerings include Casuarina, a full sister to recent Carlton Draught Caulfield Cup (G1) winner Durston  offered in foal to Study of Man , group 2 winner Infamous Angel  offered in foal to classic-producing sire Aclaim, and the well-bred filly It's Snowing who is out of a half sister to six-time group 1 winner Snow Fairy . Breeding prospects by Galileo , Kingman , Dark Angel , and War Front   are also cataloged as well as mares by leading broodmares sires Teofilo  and Oasis Dream . 

French trainer Jerome Reynier, who sold highly-rated listed performer Royal Robbins for 105,000 guineas ($134,160) to Australian interests in the Tattersalls Online November Sale, presents group 3 winner National Service . The 5-year-old son of Elusive City  has earned just over €100,000 ($128,765) in prizemoney and is qualified for French Premiums. 

Barry Fitzgerald's Old Leighlin House Stables will offer Whispering Royal, an impressive debut 2-year-old winner. The son of Gustav Klimt  is out of a full sister to champion miler in Hong Kong and group 1 winner in Japan Bullish Luck. Another debut winner to be offered is the Hugo Merienne-trained Media Naranja, the 3-year-old filly by highly sought-after National Hunt sire Yeats  who put up a dominant performance Dec. 4 to post an eight-length victory at Craon.
