01 Jan December ’23 Round Up

December came and went in a flurry of sales with yet more triumph in the sales ring and on the track. During Tattersalls Yearlings Sale 6 lots were secured, 4 of which were for The Rogues Gallery; A Lope De Vega colt out of black type Motivator mare, Vue Fantastique from the same family as Calling Out, he was knocked down for 20,000gns. Bali Hai, an already named Too Darn Hot filly out of an Oasis Dream mare from the family of Kensington and Islington. The filly was consigned by Barton Stud and purchased for 50,000gns. A colt by Study Of Man out of a Galileo mare from the family of Mukhadram and Woodland Aria. The imposing colt was purchased for 78,000gns from WH Bloodstock. And lastly for The Rogues Gallery was the only Dubawi of the sale, a colt out of a group-winning mare and from the family...

30 Dec TDN Horses of the Year: Rogue Lightning

Continuing the profiles of the favourite horses of TDN Europe's editorial team in 2023, Sean Cronin selects an unheralded sprinter who could hit the big time next year. Royal Ascot's 2023 edition produced its plethora of lip-quivering moments and there was scarcely a dry eye in this quarter when Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) halted a seven-race losing streak by annexing the G2 Duke Of Cambridge S. for Tom Clover's Fordham Road yard. Purchased for 35,000gns as an unraced two-year-old out of the Shadwell draft at Tattersalls' 2021 December Sale, she became the Kremlin House incumbent's first Royal scorer and instigated joyous scenes among the multitude of Rogues Gallery syndicate members assembled in the hallowed winner's enclosure. Her best effort, in four subsequent outings, following that career high was a runner-up finish in Leopardstown's G1 Matron S. on Irish Champions weekend, but she made little impression and...

28 Dec Spectacular horse trades that shaped 2023

Rogue Millennium Dubawi - Hawaafez (Nayef) Bought by JS Bloodstock for 35,000gns Sold to David Lanigan and Ted Durcan, agents for Heider Family Stables, for 1,650,000gns Shadwell’s decision to reduce their numbers during the 2021 sales season was always going to present opportunities for others, but few have capitalised to quite the extent that Tom Clover and The Rogues Gallery syndicate have with Rogue Millennium. She was bought as an unraced two-year-old in training from the December Mares Sale, where she cost agent Billy Jackson Stops just 35,000gns. That price could have probably been identified as good value at the time considering she is by the great Dubawi and out of the Group 3-winning Hawaafez, which made her a sister to the seven-time scorer Khatm. But it wasn’t long before she looked a very shrewd signing indeed. Rogue Millennium was out by the April of her three-year-old year and landed a...

01 Nov October ’23 Round Up

Tattersalls Book 1, 2 and 3 took place in Newmarket during October and saw the purchase of twenty-three yearlings in total heading to various trainers such as Ralph Beckett, Andrew Balding, George Scott, Tom Clover, David Simcock and others. On the track the highlights were Rogue Millenium and Rogue Lightning lining up in Group 1’s on Arc weekend. Rogue Millenium didn’t perform as hoped and will now take her place in the Sceptre Session at Tattersalls December mares sale. Rogue Lightening ran an eye-catching race in the Prix de l’Abbaye over five furlongs to finish an unlucky fifth, he was then offered later in the month at the Goffs Qipco British Champions Day Sale at Ascot and sold for £1 million to Blandford Bloodstock. Billy originally purchased him for trainer and owner duo The Rogues Gallery and Tom Clover at Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up for 42,000...

01 Sep August’23 Round Up

Granny Budgie has been at it again, making it three from four for connections. The daughter of Massaat was initially sourced from Goffs’ premier Yearling Sale last year for £18,000, she has nearly earned back her purchase price in prize money for owners Knights And Kings Racing Stable and trainer George Scott. Royal Supremacy won on debut for owner Michael Blencowe, trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by Oisin Murphy. He was drawn wide and had to travel 3 deep throughout the race, but showed a willing attitude to get up by a nose on the line. The Make Believe colt was a Tattersalls Book 2 purchase from Ballylinch Stud for 65,000 Guineas, out of an Iffraaj mare and from the family of stakes winners Fight Club and Flambo. More success for The Rogues Gallery and Tom Clover - Rogue Lightning ran on well to win at...

31 Jul July ’23 Round Up

The July Sales came and went with various purchases made and sales completed on behalf of clients. The stallion Kuroshio, whom was one of the first deals completed during the infancy of JS Bloodstock Consultancy in 2018, continued to uphold his place in the Irish stallion ranks when his daughter Kairyu won the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes at The Curragh for Michael O’Callaghan. Al Musmak was a very pleasing 2nd on his second start picking up black type in the Listed Flexjet Pat Eddery Stakes at Ascot on King George day for trainer Roger Varian and owner Sheikh Abdullah Almalek Alsabah. Purchased as a yearling from Tattersalls Book 1 for 95,000 guineas by Night Of Thunder out of Parton (Kitten’s Joy) and from the family of Provismo, he had previously won well on his debut in a novice at Ascot. Rogue Lightening won convincingly at Doncaster for trainer and owner duo Tom Clover and The Rogues...

04 Jul June ’23 Round-Up

June has been an exciting month of racing, there have been lots of promising runners and winners, and of course on the biggest stage of them all, Royal Ascot. Away from the racecourse, final sales decisions have been being made for yearlings across the UK and Ireland under the JS Bloodstock banner as to which sale they’ll be attending. All eyes are now firmly fixed on the up-and-coming Tattersalls July sale. Rogue Millennium broke the mould for trainer Tom Clover and owners The Rogues Gallery to storm home in front in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes. It was an exciting finish, she was tough and battled hard to win by a neck in front of Random Harvest. Billy, and Tom Clover’s wife Jackie, sourced the filly at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale in 2021 for just 35,000gns as an unraced filly from the Shadwell dispersal....
