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...

  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.

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.

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....

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.
