AS usual, there are plenty of top-class broodmares and fillies in the second week of the huge December Sale at Newmarket from Monday to Thursday, December 1st to 4th, which starts at 9.30am each day. Among the star fillies will be such outstanding performers as group heroines Just The Judge, Seal of Approval, Pale Mimosa, L’Amour De Ma Vie, Mango Diva and Kenhope.
The very substantial catalogue for the second week contains 1,095 entries, 20 less than last year. Many other attractive broodmares and fillies coming out of training will be sold, together with six horses in training including four from Ballydoyle, plus Group 1 stars Waldpark and Vedelago, and the stallions Art Connoisseur and Misu Bond, who will all be offered at the end of Monday’s trade.
In addition to the usual large number of entries from Britain and Ireland, there is again a significant presence of vendors from France, Germany, Italy and the USA. There are nine mares believed in foal to Frankel, while among the other covering sires are such stars as Sea The Stars, Cape Cross, Galileo, Pivotal, Oasis Dream, Invincible Spirit, High Chaparral, New Approach, Exceed And Excel, Dubawi, Shamardal and Mastercraftsman.
