MONDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2020 GLOBAL APPEAL AT TATTS AUTUMN SALE SUBJECTIVIST TOO STRONG The Tattersalls Autumn Horses-in-Training Sale has become a IN THE ROYAL OAK key attraction for stables around the world looking to bolster their quality, and the latest renewal takes place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket from Monday through Thursday. Demonstrating the global impact of the sale are 2020 Grade/Group 1-winning graduates River Boyne (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) and Fierce Impact (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who have this year taken top-level contests in the U.S. and Australia. Chris Waller selected Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) from the Juddmonte consignment last year and he rewarded his trainer with a victory in the G2 Ajax S. Down Under in March. This year=s Derby favourite English King (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) goes through the ring as a wildcard (lot 1153A) and he is sure to appeal to the Australian market, or any other that relishes a quality middle-distance type. Cont. p7 Subjectivist | Scoop Dyga Set against the gloom of a damp autumn day, Sunday=s G1 Prix Royal-Oak belonged to the Brits as Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) made all under Joe Fanning to take the ParisLongchamp IN TDN AMERICA TODAY feature.

AHe was very brave and we knew he would enjoy the ground, so I was determined to ride him that way,@ jockey Joe Fanning explained. AHe was a little bit keen going to post, but once he got in front he pricked his ears and was fine. I was trying to save a bit throughout and when I got to the straight he started to lug a bit left with me and I was worried he=d throw it away. He=s never done it before, but has a bent front shoe so whether that has something to do with it, I=m not sure. He=s a tough stayer and he=s improving.@ A day after the stable=s similarly cheap purchase Gear Up (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) had prevailed in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud, Subjectivist was rounding off the current season in style for the Middleham trainer who has made no secret of his love of the stayers= program.
