The catalog for the Tattersalls Online December Sale, featuring the Southern Hemisphere Session, is now available online. The auction, which takes place Dec. 11-12, has cataloged 122 lots including nine broodmares covered by Too Darn Hot to Southern Hemisphere time.
The catalog comprises 62 lots in and out of training, 38 broodmares, six foals, five yearlings, three stores, one point-to-pointer, breeding rights to Ardad , Havana Grey and Harry Angel and a one-fiftieth stallion share in Phoenix of Spain .
The sale is headlined by the inaugural Southern Hemisphere Session, an innovative collaboration between Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital. The session will showcase an exciting collection of mares in foal on Southern Hemisphere time to Australia's 2023-24 champion first-season sire Too Darn Hot. The classic-producing sire has enjoyed an extraordinary start to his career at stud with multiple group 1 winners from his first crops led by Irish One Thousand Guineas (G1) winner Fallen Angel and the Australian triple group 1 winner Broadsiding.
The sale also provides a rare opportunity to buy a breeding right to one of Europe's most exciting young sires Havana Grey. The Whitsbury Manor Stud resident stallion has made an electric start to his stallion career with 36 stakes performers from his first three crops of racing age including dual group 1 winner Vandeek , 2023 July Stakes (G2) winner Jasour , and group 3 winner Shouldvebeenaring . Yearlings by Havana Grey averaged £97,750 at the sales in 2024, all conceived from a £6,000 stud fee. The son of Havana Gold stood for £55,000 in 2024.
Headlining the 49 horses in training section of the catalog is the highly progressive 3-year-old sprinter Fahrenheit Seven. Consigned by trainer Mark Usher, the son of Showcasing has enjoyed a fruitful 2024 campaign with three wins from his last four starts including success in a Class 4 handicap over six furlongs at Newcastle last month. The 3-year-old gelding scored prior to that on the turf at Epsom and Haydock and is being offered with a current Timeform rating of 92.
Two lightly raced types with plenty of potential for improvement are One Horse Town and Qamari. The Joesph O'Brien-trained One Horse Town placed third in his only two starts, both over seven furlongs at Dundalk last month. The son of first-season sire Threat is a half brother to the useful Stanford and hails from the family of champion filly Ramruma. The James Tate-consigned Qamari was an eye-catching third on debut before finishing a close fourth at Chelmsford during the summer. The 3-year-old filly is a half sister to two winners and is out of the dual group 3-placed Dubka.
The sales also offers a host of in-form horses in training including last-start winners Causin A Commotion, Zaphea, and bumper winner Destination Dubai.
The breeding rights on offer include the aforementioned Havana Grey as well as proven group 1 sires Ardad and Harry Angel, as well as a stallion share in 2019 Irish Two Thousand Guineas (G1) winner Phoenix of Spain, sire of 2023 Vintage Stakes (G2) winner Haatem .
