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.

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....

Paying back her supplementary to Wednesday's G2 Duke of Cambridge S. in spades, The Rogues Gallery's Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}--Hawaafez {GB}, by Nayef) was steered to a surprise 10-1 success for the Tom Clover stable by one of the meeting's recent success stories Danny Tudhope. Dropped to a mile after chasing home Free Wind (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G2 Middleton Fillies' S. over an extended 10-furlong trip at York last month, last year's Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial winner raced off the pace early and was delivered with perfect timing to collar the long-time leader Random Harvest (Ire) (War Front) inside the final 100 yards for a neck verdict, with one of the 100-30 co-favourites Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) a length away in third. "This was the shortest trip she had ever run over and they went quite steady, but she picked them up nicely,...

May kicked off to a lively start with the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up opening up the month. Two purchases were made, one a Dandy Man colt for 35,000gns from the black type preforming family of No Speak Alexander and Lily’s Rainbow. He breezed well and is an easy moving sort, he has gone into training with Harry Eustace. He should be sharp and we hope to see him run well in the not too distant future. The second purchase of the day, for 42,000gns, was a Harry Angel colt out of a Dark Angel mare from the family of City Image. He looked an impressive sort on the day and he has gone into training with Tom Clover for owner Sheikh Abdullah Almalek Alsabah. May rolled on quickly into the Arqana Breeze Up Sale where an exciting son of Siyouni was purchased for Michael Blencowe from top...
