197 lots have been catalogued for the Tattersalls March Sale which takes place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket on Wednesday 31st March. The catalogue for the Tattersalls March Sale can be viewed online at www.tattersalls.com and will be available from Tattersalls and Tattersalls representatives from Friday 12th March.  

Comprising 64 broodmares and fillies in/out of training, 116 colts/geldings in/out of training, 12 yearlings and 5 two-year-olds, the catalogue features consignments from many of the world’s leading owner-breeders including Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, who have 15 lots catalogued between them. The catalogue also contains attractive drafts from several of Britain’s leading trainers, with the largest consignment in the catalogue being the team of 12 consigned by Richard Fahey’s Musley Bank Stables.  

Buyers looking for horses in training with smart form will have plenty to choose from with the potential highlights including the promising three-year-old GLENTANEOUS who boasts a Timeform rating of 91p following an impressive win on his second start for Brian Meehan. The well-bred son of GLENEAGLES is out of a sister to the joint Champion European older horse YOUMZAIN and to the Group 1 winner and dual Classic runner-up CREACHADOIR.

Other eye-catchers include the progressive four-year-old DARK PINE, rated 103 by Timeform following wins on both his starts for David Loughnane, and Shadwell Estates’ HURAIZ, a smart performer for Mark Johnston who placed in the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes at two and has a current Timeform rating of 104. Horses-in-training offered by Juddmonte Farms are always much sought after and amongst their consignment is the high-class BUGLE MAJOR. Placed in the Listed Prix Lyphard in November and runner-up behind the Group performer and two-time Listed winner MAGNY COURS on his most recent start, BUGLE MAJOR holds a Timeform rating of 108.  

Well-bred fillies also feature prominently including daughters of leading sires DARK ANGEL, FRANKEL, INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, LOPE DE VEGA, NO NAY NEVER and SIYOUNI. The Castlebridge Consignment will offer the smartly bred three-year-old filly COUNTESSA on behalf of Hugo Palmer’s Kremlin Cottage Stables. The twice-raced daughter of CAMELOT was placed on her latest start and is out of a half-sister to Group 1 winners ALPHA CENTAURI and ALPINE STAR from the exceptional family of MIESQUE.  

Godolphin has been a perennial source of top-quality breeding stock and will offer two well-bred fillies in ARABIAN ROMANCE and FRESH SNOW, from the immediate families of Champion two-year-old PINATUBO and dual Group 1 winner RAVEN’S PASS respectively. Other well-bred fillies in the catalogue include DRAMATISTA, a winning daughter of Group 1 winner AOIFE ALAINN by LOPE DE VEGA who will be consigned by Roger Fell’s Arthington Barn and ELTHAM PALACE, a daughter of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT out of the Group 3 winner and Group 1 placed MOMENT IN TIME who will be offered by David Simcock’s Trillium Place Stables.  

Pinhookers also look well catered for with yearlings catalogued by proven sires CAMACHO, CHARM SPIRIT, CITYSCAPE, KUROSHIO and TWILIGHT SON as well as exciting first crop sires GUSTAV KLIMT, MASSAAT, RAJASINGHE and UNFORTUNATELY.  

Commenting on the 2021 Tattersalls March Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said;  

“The addition of the Tattersalls March Sale to our 2021 sales calendar came in response to the COVID-related disruption to the February Sale and we have a catalogue which has all the ingredients to appeal to the customary mix of domestic and international buyers. Strict COVID protocols will continue to be in place, but we are looking forward to welcoming registered participants to Park Paddocks for the March Sale, and those unable to attend in person will as ever be able to use our Live Internet and Telephone Bidding platforms.”
