STORMBREAKER, a winner at last year’s Listowel Festival, is an eye-catching entry for this week’s Tattersalls Online September Sale. There are 184 lots catalogued for the sale which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Irish vendors include Baroda Stud (five lots), Jessica Harrington, Gordon Elliott, Gavin Cromwell and David Marnane.
There are three from the Willie Mullins yard, including the aforementioned Stormbreaker. Also coming from Closutton are the 139-rated hurdler Runcok. A winner of a Punchestown maiden hurdle in February, the lightly-raced five-year-old has made a bright start to his career over fences having scored at Tipperary in July.
Jessica Harrington’s Commonstown Stables consign a draft of seven lots including recent Leopardstown maiden winner Falls Of Acharn, a son of Sea The Moon out of Group 2 winner Parvaneh, Daary who is a placed two-year-old colt by Wootton Bassett and Baker Blue, a multiple-placed two-year-old son of Ardad.
The quartet on offer from Gordon Elliott’s Cullentra Stables features the 129-rated Lightkeeper who was most recently a winner over fences earlier this week at Perth, as well as the Grade 2-placed Rainbow Trail.
There are 147 horses in and out of training catalogued, 23 broodmares, six yearlings, four stores, one foal, a breeding right to Cotai Glory and a stallion share in Kodi Bear.
Arguably the most exciting horse on offer is the progressive three-year-old colt Marchogion. Trained by Andrew Balding, the son of Mehmas won a competitive Class 3 handicap at Chester by four lengths on his latest start and is currently rated 106 by Timeform (97 by BHA).
Newmarket trainer Ben Brookhouse, who recently announced he is taking a break from the sport, offers the two-year-old One And Gone, who ran a big race on debut at Ripon last month when finishing second, only being run down late on by the odds-on favourite.
The catalogue features numerous last-time-out winners including Genie In A Bottle, a winner over six and a half furlongs at Chantilly consigned by Bansha House Stables’ French operation.
There is a rare opportunity to purchase a stallion share in Kodi Bear, sire of this year’s Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes winner Lifeplan. He is also the sire of last year’s Queen Mary winner Leovanni and Railway Stakes winner Go Bears Go.
Also set to attract the attention of breeders is a breeding right to Tally-Ho Stud’s proven Group 1 sire Cotai Glory.
Among the 23 broodmares in the sale is the regally-bred New Romance, a daughter of Dubawi out of the Group 2 Middleton Stakes winner and Group 1 placed Beautiful Romance.
Baroda Stud will offer a draft of five lots which includes four mares in foal to top-class sprinter Shaquille, whilst broodmares are also being offered in foal to Starman, Bradsell, Caturra, Kool Kompany and Rajasinghe.
