The GI FanDuel Breeders= Cup Mile also has significant European flair, with five overseas-based runners among the main body of 14 and another two among the four horses that were not selected into the field. European 3-year-old form is represented by G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Siskin (First Defence) as well as Kameko (Kitten=s Joy), victorious in the G1 English 2000 Guineas in his first start of the season in June and a latest winner of the G2 Shadwell Joel S. over a mile Sept. 25.

All fees have been reduced by 25% due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

But first and foremost, let's pause and give due credit to those who brought English King (GB) (Camelot {GB}) to the point where he could on Wednesday become much the most expensive colt ever sold at Europe's premier horses-in-training sale. After all, when auctioneer John O'Kelly tried to coax one last effort out of underbidder Ted Voute for lot 1153a, he told him: "There's only one chance to buy English King." But Jeremy Brummitt could tell you otherwise, having picked him out as a yearling at the Arqana October Sale for i210,000. As a result, following a dazzling rehearsal in the Lingfield Trial, patron Bjorn Nielsen was able to savour the exhilaration of fielding the leading home-trained colt for the G1 Investec Derby itselfCan experience that very pardonably, given the vagaries of the game, eludes many a lifelong investor. Dark Angel | Yeomanstown Stud Things did not play out on the day quite as hoped, English King finding himself adrift with most of the field early before staying on for fifth.

Tattersalls Autumn HIT Sale Cont. Bullfinch Joins the Migration With stronger domestic prizemoney apparently reserved for Congratulations to all concerned, then, most obviously to Shangri-La, this sale has certainly reiterated how precious is the Nielsen himself. It was a bold idea to come here, as a wildcard, symbiosis between the British and Australian Turf; between the and presumably there was an equally bold reserve. But the heritage of one, and the quality of stock duly attracted, and the reward was a deal that blew the previous record for a colt at this prosperity of the other. auctionCthe 625,000gns paid by Joseph O'Brien for Summer As John Ferguson stressed, after signing a 370,000gns docket Sands (GB) (Coach House {Ire}) last yearCout of the water.

The minimum! That does make a difference, Newsells Park in 2018. you know." Following hard on the heels of the Juddmonte draft, English The 3-year-old Bullfinch (offered as lot 1100 by The King duly completed the predicted rally in the third session of Castlebridge Consignment) is a classic example of the value that the sale.

"Kodiac has already sired a [G1] Caulfield Cup winner in Best Solution (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), who we bought a few years ago, and the dam [Group 1 winner Thistle Bird (GB) (Selkirk)] was a champion older mare. This is a progressive horse, with undoubted ability, that has been quite beautifully trained." Best Solution, a 90,000gns find in Book 2, shows the range of Ferguson's long service for Godolphin and Waller could hardly have entrusted his recruitment to more seasoned judgement.

ASovereign is a strong mile and a quarter horse,@ O=Brien told the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club notes team. (Click here to view the interview.) AHe is a very strong galloper who likes to go forward in his races and we think the Bahrain International Trophy will suit him. He is a big genuine, sound horse. He=s an Irish Derby winner. We saw what he did in the Irish Derby and he ran a massive race in the King George where he was second to Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), so we think the race will suit him and we are looking forward to seeing him run.@ The supplementary stage closes on Nov. 3, with a max field of 14 allowed (12 Europeans and two Bahraini horses).
