THOMOND O’Mara’s Knockanglass Stables is one of the leaders when it comes to consigning at the breeze-up sales. This year is no different and he has nine colts heading to the Goffs UK Sale later this month.

One of the group travelling to Doncaster is a son of Bated Breath (Dansili), the Banstead Manor stallion who has made a great start at stud and whose fourth crop of racing age are this year’s crop of two-year-olds. A dozen of his 17 blacktype horses have earned this at two and the best of them to date has been the Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed Beckford.
