Lidanski's colt had been well looked at anyway, as she is an established mare, but yesterday's win just adds an extra little bit of interest. From the reports I've had, everyone has been very busy over the last few days, and that has to be a good sign for the sale." Wizz Kid is not the only decent update for the Ballylinch draft from the weekend's racing, as O'Connor explained. "Last year at this sale, we sold Victrix Ludorum [Invincible Spirit {Ire}], and she won the valuable Tattersalls Millions sales race at Newmarket on Saturday,@ he said.

"He was one of the first horses I looked at," admitted Nerses, who was at Tatteraslls with Authorized's co-owner Saleh Al Homaizi. "I've seen a lot over the last few days and, at most sales, you can eliminate horses fairly quickly, but here you eliminate a horse only very reluctantly. There are some really nice horses here, and I'm finding it very hard to disregard any of them. This is the strongest catalogue I've seen in a long time." With such an outstanding pool of yearlings on paper in Book 1, the question would always be whether or not their physical Tony Nerses (left) & attributes would live up to their Saleh Al Homaizi pedigrees, but it seems that Emma Berry most potential buyers will be spoilt for choice this week. Richard Knight, a former employee of Coolmore, Juddmonte and Darley, launched his own bloodstock agency earlier this month, and has been in action at Goffs and Tattersalls so far. "There are some very solid colts and plenty of nice fillies,@ he said. AIt makes it very hard to compile a short-list!" With regular big-name buyers such as Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Hamdan and the Coolmore team in attendance, it will no doubt please Tattersalls to see so many other potential buyers from around the world in Newmarket, including Teruya and Haruya Yoshida, Paul Fudge of Waratah Thoroughbreds, David Ingordo, Nicolas de Watrigant, who buys on behalf of Sheikh Joann Al-Thani, Ibrahim Araci and Mary Slack. "There seem to be a lot of people we don't know, which is good, and of course plenty of people we do know,@ commented Michael Swinburn of Genesis Green Stud.
