REMARKABLE CLEARANCE ON DAY ONE OF JULY SALE It’s July Sale Week in Newmarket, but similarities with previous incarnations of this jamboree of racing, selling and bloodstock are limited. Moderate weather more akin to the October Sale has hardly lifted the occasion, and while racing is taking place on the July Course there are no paying customers and the only floaty dresses you are likely to see will be those dancing on the breeze from clothes rails in the high street. If you want stallion parades the only option is a virtual one being staged today by Darley, and that won’t be the same without seeing gleaming sires padding across manicured lawns in the flesh, not to mention the best lunch spread of the year. At Tattersalls’ Park Paddocks headquarters the business of selling horses goes on, and to great effect yesterday when a remarkable 96 per cent of the horses on offer – consisting ’s Tim Lane secured the first of two lots to predominantly of mares and fillies – a buyer.

A total of 4,172,000gns was turned over at an average of 22,430gns and a median of 13,250gns, and two mares headed trade when selling for 130,000gns. That the July Sale is happening at all is a blessing for vendors given that next week’s Derby Sale in Ireland was postponed at short notice yesterday, the latest example of the difficulties for businesses of all types during this COVID-19 pandemic. However, in common with two breeze-up sales staged by Tattersalls recently, this is unlike any other auction in the company’s 254-year history. The anti-clockwise journey taken by horses entering the ring is not the only one-way system in operation, for humans are requested to follow the many arrows around the complex while avoiding entering walkways that have a white cross on a red background. It’s a variation on noughts and crosses but with no winners. Some boundary gates are locked, restaurants closed and each visitor has their temperature taken as they drive into the car park. Less than 20 lots after the sale-topping 130,000gns was Admission is limited to those who have filled in an online form. achieved, it was matched by Tony Nerses for Lot 251, Overseas visitors are present, but not in the numbers normally New Jazz.

NERSES SCATTERS RIVALS FOR JAZZ Qatar’s champion trainer, Jassim Ghazali, a leading buyer at this “We’ve always wanted a Scat Daddy!” said Tony Nerses in typically sale in recent years, is but one missing face of particular note, ebullient style after splashing the cash to buy New Jazz (Lot 251) although his agent, Will Douglass, was in situ and primed for from Godolphin’s draft. some action when horses-in-training go through the ring today, Nerses, advisor to Imad Al Sagar and his Blue Diamond Stud, starting at 10am. had just parted with 130,000gns, a sum that put a brake on the ambitions of bloodstock agent Ed Sackville, who was bidding outside the ring entrance. This was not Nerses’s first sighting of four-year-old New Jazz, for he was interested in buying her as a yearling at Keeneland, where he was thwarted by Godolphin’s $550,000 bid. Sent to to race for Sheikha Al Jalila, the filly was placed as a juvenile and scored at Yarmouth last year before being taken out of training and successfully covered earlier this year by Darley sire Harry Angel. She is a daughter of the English Channel mare Seanchai who was a winner in the USA and also placed at Listed level. Nerses added: “She’s a lovely individual who we saw at the September Sales when she proved beyond our pocket. I’m glad to get her now – she’s a winner, in foal and with a decent page. “The long-term plan is to cover her with [Al Sagar’s stallion] Decorated Knight – she should suit him.” LANE THE GO-BETWEEN FOR KALAGIA A full-sister to stallion Prince Of Lir generated the day’s first six- figure sale when being knocked down to The National Stud’s Tim Lane for 130,000gns. Kalagia (Lot 232), a five-year-old daughter of Kodiac with a Land Force cover, was foaled by Esuvia (Whipper), the dam of three winners. The trio are three-time winner Kalagia, Ballyhane Stud resident Prince Of Lir – whose son The Lir Jet seared his name on this year’s disjointed turf season when matching his sire as a winner of the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes – and the filly Nitro Boost (Dandy Man) who was successful in Listed company. Lane said: “A top English breeder rang me and asked me to bid on this mare, but I don’t know what his plans are for her. She’s well covered by Land Force and she has a top pedigree so there’s plenty to like. We have kept the occasional mare for the buyer but I don’t know if we will get this one.”

The National Stud also put several lots through the ring yesterday, gaining 62,000gns for George Strawbridge’s three- year-old, unraced filly Drama School (Lot 235) who was sold to EBN Matt Coleman, and 28,000gns for Phoenix ’ Read All winning daughter of Exceed And Excel, Mia Diva (Lot 236).

Buckley said: “The Nagles the family and were keen to buy this filly back. They love the page and will be breeding her to one of our Coolmore sires.” DUBAWI MARE THE EQUIVALENT OF GOLD When economic uncertainty threatens, shrewd money has invariably invested in gold, which in the bloodstock world equates to stock with black-type pages and by elite stallions. Tony O’Callaghan of Tally-Ho Stud had just such a plan in mind when parting with 90,000gns to buy Zarnitsa (Lot 388), a four- year-old daughter of Dubawi, a half-sister to two Stakes winners and carrying a foal by young sire Harry Angel. Zarnitsa, who was consigned by Godolphin, failed to win on the track, but she represents an obvious future mate for Tally-Ho’s leading sire Kodiac. O’Callaghan said: “We liked the pedigree and we’re always trying to buy better mares, slowly but surely. She’ll go to James Kelly of Linacre House Stud went to 80,000gns for Kodiac, but hopefully she’ll have a nice foal before that who we Lot 382, Vega’s Angel, a three-year-old Lope De Vega filly could sell as a yearling – but that’s a long way down the line.” in foal to Ulysees.
