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...

26 Jun Rogue Millennium takes the Duke of Cambridge

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,...

29 Mar EBN: Sales Talk

The result was a bonus for Tattersalls and potential buyers who would not have been in Dubai had the horses arrived at their originally-planned destination. The draft included the three-year-old gelding Isle of Jura, who was sold for £150,000, a record for a Tattersalls Ascot mixed sale and bettered only at the company's former breeze-up auctions held at the venue. Turnover on the day shot up by 135 per cent to a figure of £1,661,100 - a record for a mixed sale run by Tattersalls Ascot - the average gained 140 per cent when reaching £17,485, while the median rose 71 per cent to £6,500. Of 106 lots who walked the ring, 90 per cent found a new home.

29 Mar Isle Of Jura Tops Exceptional Tattersalls Ascot March Sale

A tremendous one-day sale at the first Tattersalls Ascot sale of 2023 produced the highest-price ever given for a horse in training sold at the venue with JS Bloodstock / George Scott Racing going to £150,000 for the Godolphin-consigned once-raced ISLE OF JURA. The draft from Godolphin produced the day’s top 14 prices, and the strong demand for the choice lots came primarily from trainers and owners sourcing horses to race at the big international Festival meetings. Five of the Godolphin consignment sold for £100,000 or more contributing to a session turnover of £1,661,100, a record for a Tattersalls Ascot mixed sale. Of ISLE OF JURA, a three-year-old gelding by New Approach, Jackson-Stops said: "He has been bought for an owner who already has horses with George. “He is a big raw horse with loads of promise. He was green on his first run and he needs some time...

28 Feb Six Figure Sales Top Opening Day At Goffs February

Today’s opening session of Goffs February Sale was headed by six figure sales in the weanling and horses in training categories. Baroda Stud topped the Day 1 weanling trade with their son of Sottsass (Lot 126 - pictured), the first foal out of a Camelot sister to several Group performers, selling for €115,000 to Tally Ho. Ringfort Stud offered another of the day's standouts with their Night Of Thunder colt (Lot 109) out of a winning Street Cry mare that has already produced three winners from three runners and is a sister to a host of black type horses including Group 1 winner Bandini.  He sold to JS Bloodstock and Rogues Gallery for €110,000. Other highlights among the weanlings included two more Lots from the Baroda Stud draft - a New Bay colt (Lot 186) out of a Shamardal sister to two Stakes winners that was secured...
