"She is by Frankel, and she is a very obvious one for us as a half-sister to Caliornia Dreamer, who is owned by Amo," said Elliott after the bidding concluded. "She was 450,000gns as a foal which says how good-looking she is, she in-foal on an early cover to Farhh, which has some scarcity value and I think he is a very good sire, and the foal she is carrying, if all is well, could be an October Book 1-type of horse."

He concluded: "Kia is coming along later." (14:07)

Light Blush was a multiple Listed placed runner, is out of the black-type winner Marsh Daisy, from the extended family of Bella Colora and is on a May covering to Pintabuo. (13:27)

"References to ‘the cream of the British and Irish foal crops’ have been made constantly throughout this week’s record-breaking Tattersalls December Foal Sale and the extraordinary figures show the esteem in which the best British and Irish thoroughbreds continue to be held and where ’the cream' is to be found.

"All week Park Paddocks has been alive with pinhookers from Britain, Ireland and further afield; a combination of veterans who have been plying their trade for many years and hordes of the younger generation whose enthusiasm and commitment provide encouragement to the wider industry looking forward.

“Equally notable has been the immense contribution made by owners buying to race. The December Foal Sale will always be dominated by pinhookers, but owners, both domestic and international, have made a huge impact on the sale, particularly those from Australia, China, Japan and the USA, as well as from throughout Europe and the Gulf region.

“Between them all they have contributed to a Tattersalls December Foal Sale which will be remembered for a very long time, not only for Whitsbury Manor Stud's outstanding 2,500,000gns FRANKEL filly foal out of SUELITA, who equalled the 27-year European record price for a foal, but also for a sale which produced an unprecedented number of foals selling for 500,000gns or more, wide margin records across the board for average, median and turnover and a massive 32 of the 40 highest-priced foals to have been sold in Britain and Ireland this year.

“The confidence that the leading British and Irish breeders show in the uniquely diverse market at Tattersalls is a source of immense pride and it would be no exaggeration to say that so much of the strength of this week’s foal trade, as well as the record-breaking December Yearling Sale, has been driven by the game-changing Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale a few weeks ago.

"Those three days of yearlings have driven the European bloodstock market ever since and to see so many British and Irish breeders and consignors subsequently reaping richly deserved rewards has itself been truly rewarding.

“Not all in the garden has, however, been rosy and the lowest tier of the market continues to struggle which is a concern, but as we move on to the market leading Tattersalls December Mares Sale we can reflect on another 2024 Tattersalls sale which has exceeded expectations and again shone a positive light on the industry."

"He is for resale," said Stauffenberg from outside the ring. "He is a very good walker, he is by a young stallion who we don't know yet but who we can give a chance to, and, of the foals we have seen today, we thought that he is the one who stood out based on his action, really.

"We just have to hope for the best now, but I think he will be a proper, commercial October Book 2 horse," added Stauffenberg, continuing: "I have bought three now, and I have been underbidder a number of times, it has been tough to buy."

Patrick Smalley, who has been showing the colt this week for consignor Jamie Railton and breeder Manor Farm Bloodstock, said from outside the colt's box: "He has been really easy to do, straightforward and a great little horse. He has been busy, lots of pepole liked him, he has had lots of vets and has dealt with it all really well."

Kevin Tobin, with a few years' sales experience on Smalley and who took over for the sale ring, added: "The colt came really well prepped and has been a pleasure to handle."

After selling the following colt by Stradivarius (Lot 1179), also bred by Craig and Laura Buckingham of Manor Farm Bloodstock, Jamie Railton said: "I am really pleased for Craig and Laura, they are great enthusiasts and they have not been doing this for too long, but produced the colt really well. They have had a winner this week, too, so it has been a good few days for them." (15:50)

This colt is out of the Pivotal mare Private Treaty, an unraced daughter of the Listed-placed Between Us (Galileo), a half-sister to Confidential Lady, winner of the Prix de Diane (G1) and runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas (G1) and the Premio Lydia Tesio (G1). (15:15)

He is out of the unraced mare Nassima, a Fastnet Rock daughter of Soon (Galileo), a Listed winner and Group 3 placed. She is out of the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Classic Park, the dam of Walk In The Park, runner-up in the Derby (G1).

Perfect Power, who stands at Dalham Hall Stud, was a £15,000 cover in 2023, this spring his fee has been dropped to £7,500 (14:37)

"I have seen a good few by the sire and he is getting very nice stock,"said Hannah Wall of Redwall. "It was a bit more than we wanted to spend, but he is a very nice colt and very straight forward, he is a horse we all fell on and were keen to buy. He will come back to Tweenhills now and then will be sold by the boys from Hillwood Stud next year."

Harry added: "He is a stand out for us today, a lovely big strong colt, and is an athletic mover. Oliver and I went down this morning to see him without Dad, and we picked him out. We went back with Dad he liked him, too."

"Perfect Power was an amazing racehorse, the dam is three from three so hopefully he will be a good horse, as well," said Oliver of the colt, a first pinhooking venture for the boys and probably not the last.

"We have been with Dad a few times to the sales now, but this is the first time we have actually bought one," explained Harry. "It is some buzz, when the board gets higher and higher it just gets more and more exciting." (13:35)

The colt is out of the four-time winning Cape Cross mare Akhmatova, the dam of three winners from five runners including Wise Words, the winner of three races and five times placed at Listed level, and Walaa, dam of the Listed winner Clarendon House. It is the extended family of the German champion older horse Kutub.

Saxtead also sold Lot 1107 by Stradivarius for 25,000gns, and Fiona Temple said: "We are delighted with this week, and this colt has been really straight foward all the way along.

"We looked at the three colts in the field this summer and said it would be great if they could make 100,000gns between them, well they have topped that at 125,000gns." (12:17)

"He is a gorgeous colt, we really liked him, there is a lot happening in the family, the first two foals out of the mare have gone to great homes, Daymark does a wonderful job and we are delighted to buy him and looking forward to bringing him back here next year," said Callan.

The first two out of the mare have sold as both foals and yearlings, and three out of the four sale transactions have been for a six-figure sum, with this colt's 2023 full-sister bought by Al Shaqab / Amo Racing for 340,000gns in this year's October Book 1 Sale.

Of yesterday's outstanding sale for Whitsbury, Callan reflected: "It was a sensational day, we brought a fantastic draft of foals, and days like that don't come around very often. It was very special, and it is credit to the whole team. It has been over 50 years in the making for the Harper family, it is a great result for everyone. It was just amazing to have the chance to be a part of it."

He added: "Suelita is an incredible mare, the filly is a wonderful foal and we wish Kia and his team all the very best. It is a day that will live long in the memories for all of us." (11:33)

Joe Bradley, the farm's Head of Bloodstock, said: "The plan is to reoffer next year, most likely in October, but we will see how he goes and develops over the year. He is for a National Stud-operated syndicate.

"He is very much in the mould of his sire, we like Dansili as a broodmare sire and there is lots to come on the page with the two-year-old by Night Of Thunder named Portfolio Duration to run, the mare has already produced a good horse in Cormorant and this is a close relation."

The family is the "S" pedigree developed by the Aga Khan Stud, dam Shemya bred by the farm and bought by Blandford Bloodstock for Langton Stud in 2014 for €160,000.

The colt's second dam was the talented runner Shemima, who was a multiple Group race winner and performer, while third dam Shemaka won the Prix de Diane (G1) and is ancestress of numerous black-type winners, including the champion older horse Bay Bridge. (11:30)

"Prince Faisal has got six filly foals and one colt at home, and he wanted to buy a friend for the colt," said Voute. "We tried yesterday, but Paca Paca seemed to buy everything we wanted yesterday, so I have looked at a few for today and this was the best for me, and he has been bought to race.

"The Prince did want one with a bit of speed, and something from a non-Dubawi line, and this chap fitted the bill." (11:22)

The April-born foal is out of Light Impact – a Fantastic Light mare and a French Listed winner. She is dam of seven winners from eight runners, including the Listed winner Tuvalu and the Listed performer Virka. (10:39)

• The sale has produced the five highest-priced foals sold in Britain or Ireland this year

• It is a record turnover for a day at a European foal sale (more than 50 per cent higher than the previous record)

• Five of the 12 highest prices in history of the Tattersalls December Foal Sale have been created today

• ⁠The sale of the Frankel ex Suelita has equalled the European foal record price of 2,500,000gns, matching the sale of Generous’ brother (Caerleon ex Doff The Derby) in 1997 (19:55)

Cima Star, a daughter of Sea The Stars, finished second in the Premio Oaks D'Italia (G2) and is a half-sister to two Italian Group 3 winners – Voice Of Love (Poet's Voice) and Time Chant (War Chant).

Willingham has spent 3,206,000gns over the three sessions and is second-leading buyer at this week's December Foal Sale by outlay. (19:49)

Bidding narrowed down to Paddy Twomey, standing by the back exit and on the phone, and Kia Koorabchian of Amo Racing in the bidders. For a long time it looked as though Twomey was successful at 2,400,000gns but after a protracted period and a phone call made by Joorabchian, the bidding was concluded at the record price.

Amo's agent Alex Elliott said: "What is there to say? We have spent 2.5 million on an own-sister to a Classic winner and I think we have made a good move, and it is a brave statement of intent by Kia – to have come as he did into the yearling sales was one thing, but to continue it into the foals, it is a really good sign moving forward with a long term aim.

"I was willing Kia to make that last bid, he had to make a phone call, he said that he had to phone a friend! I said don't ask the audience! I was willing him along, I am over the moon, such horses are so very hard to buy. The mare is unbelievable, the farm is unbelievable, the sire is unbelievable... she is a lovely filly."

He concluded: "This is a long term project and we have come a long way from early Ascot two-year-old races, it is great to see and I am delighted we made that final and last bid."

The 84-year-old Chris Harper, who took over the running of Whitsbury Manor Stud in the 1970s and is father of Ed Harper who runs the stud now, said: "I am very emotional. Suelita was the last mare I bought, she was just my sort – very pretty, not very big, a nice big body with short legs. Did I think she could become what she has? Never!

"The pedigree went back to an old mare I shared with Gerald Leigh, a small factor. I suppose I bought ten mares that year and she was one of them. What a lucky chap I am? It is quite extraordinary, I never thought this could happen to someone like me!"

He added: "I passed all the decision-making to Ed probably 12 years' ago now, so he makes all the decisions now, but he is kind enough to tell me what he has done! I am so proud. In football terms, I never got the farm out of the championship, he has got it into the Premier League."

Half an hour after the sale, Ed Harper, said: "It is amazing! It is funny, when we have a really good one like this, I have very little to do with her really. The team just go into overdrive, she did not need any selling, the mating planned itself. It has all been down to the team. "We try and go by the mantra that every foal on the farm gets looked after the same, but with this one it was a little different – every paddock she moved to was planned, every friend and paddock mate was planned, every visit from the farrier was planned to try and ensure that nothing could do wrong, he team just did an excellent job."

Of his feelings as the bidding played out, he said: "The bidding did seem to take ages, I think only Alastair Pimm could have got that last bid. So thanks to him for doing a great job.

"I have to say a big thank you to Amo, this is not the first horse bought of us this year, so a big thank you. It is great to see someone so keen to buy the best, it makes you even more keen to get and produce the best, it is aspirational industry and that is what makes it so exciting."

Of Suelita, smiled: "She is the calmest mare at home, she is so chilled, but her foals really want to get on with it, Chadlean was a busy foal, really interested in everything, he would strut up to anyone peering over the gate. The other foals out of her are the same, but she hangs out on her own and is chilled. We are so lucky to have her – we should be getting portraits done!"

Harper finished off with one pressing concern, "I just need to see if I can get a table big enough for the whole team to have supper tonight!" (18:31)

Alex Elliott said of Lot 936: "A Frankel out of a Breeders' Cup winner does not take too much to explain. He has been bought for Amo, he will go back to Tally-Ho, Roger O'Callaghan was a huge fan of the horse. He will go into the programme in the autumn next year and let's hope he is a racehorse."

MV Magnier said of Lot 937: "“He was a very nice horse and we’ve been lucky with Sea The Stars with The Lion In Winter, unfortunately things just didn’t go right for him later in the season. Michael Swinburn, he’s always been very lucky with this whole family, going back to Landseer, who was a very good horse for us.

"I Can Fly was a special filly, too, and January has a lot of potential. I Can Fly could end up being a very important broodmare. She'll go to Justify next year. This is a lovely horse too and I’m very happy for the Swinburns. They’ve been great supporters of ours and this is a great result for their team.

"It’s a lot of money to give for a foal but Sea The Stars is a very good stallion and it’s a very good family, Dark Angel is a very good broodmare sire too. And the sale has been incredible."

Genesis Green's consignor Michael Swinburn was in tears after the duo went through the ring and, after taking a little time to collect his thoughts, he said: "It has just been an unbelievable. The dam was a bit disappointing – she had talent but was a minx. It is a family that keeps on producing.

"They are good-looking, they are winners, I Can Fly has a Dubawi coming along, a Frankel, she is going to Justify. Angels Point is in foal to Study Of Man.

"I said to Pat Downes [Aga Khan Studs] about coming to the foal sales with this foal, I said she is a belter, and that we should strike when the iron is hot while January is still strong. Who knows what next year might bring?"

Of the Frankel colt, he said: "You would never have known he was on the farm, and on the sales ground he was never in his box. He was born straight, reared straight, never had a sick a day in his life. When he has been filmed he just did not give a hoot, he has a fantastic temperament. He is a horse who will get better and better. A month ago he was a shell of a horse, but he has really strengthened and is only going to go one direction, I am sure Kia is going to be very lucky with him."

At the end of the conversation, he added: "I admit I did pop into the church on the way this morning and ask for a bit of help."

Seems someone was listening. (18:27)

She is the first foal out of the Listed-winning Muhaarar mare, a half-sister to the multiple Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed Beat The Bank, and the Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Chil Chil.

She was bred by the Denniffs, and Adrian O'Brien of Hazelwood said: "I am so thrilled for Mick and Fiona Denniff, they are excellent breeders, and they have produced this family so well for so many years."

Fiona Denniff added: "It is our biggest result in the ring - by coincidence the best before was the 500,000gns that we got for Chil Chil in Book 2. I must admit I did come to here this week hoping that we would beat that!

"I wanted the mare to get off to the best possible start and that is why we went to Frankel, and I hope she has go that good start. This foal is really a mini me of the mare, and she was a very talented racehorse. She is in-foal to Chaldean." (18:20)

She was sold by Norris Bloodstock for Andy Lloyd's Hunscote Stud.

"It was love at fist sight and was the first foal I looked at," said Fallon. "We have bought here for two season and we have horses heading into training in the UK now." (17:56)

Despite the gathering gloom, Craig McCracken smile could be seen in the dark and he said: "She has always been a lovely filly and just every thing was very right – all the ducks were in the pond and we got them all lined up!

"We had the right sire in Wootton Bassett, Facteur Cheval has come good for me, Queen Of The Mud has come good for me, it is a brilliant family and everyone kept telling me this all week. We always hoped she would be in the 300,000gns to 400,000gns bracket and we have just done a little better. The mare is back in-foal to Mehmas."

Facteur Cheval won the Dubai Turf (G1) in March and finished second in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1) and the Sussex Stakes (G1), Queen Of The Mud is a US black-type performer. (16:58)

The colt's dam Stella d'Italia (Sea The Stars) was bought for just 22,000gns the December Mares Sale in 2019. She is dam of one winner from one runner and is a half-sister to two Group race performers.

Third dam is the Group 2 and Group 2 winner, and Group 1 placed Colorado Dancer, the dam of seven winners, including the champion miler and older horse Dubai Millennium. (16:30)

"She is a very lovely filly, she is out of a Pivotal mare who has crossed well with Frankel," said Magnier. "James and Anita Wigan, they have been incredible supporters of ours for a long time, Dad always says they go way back. It is a great result for them. They are very good breeders, they have raised a lot of good horses in the past.

"We have had a great year with Frankel on the track, he speaks for himself – the likes of Lake Victoria, she is an exceptional filly. If this filly is anywhere near as good as her, we will be ok."

She is out of In The Mist, the winner of three races, and dam of the Group 3 winner Cloudy Dawn and the Listed winner Iromea. Second dam is the Listed winner Kenmist, dam of the Group 1 winner Grey Lilas, the dam of dual French Classic winner Golden Lilac.

In The Mist was bought as a foal here by London Thoroughbred Services for 110,000gns in 2006. (16:27)

The colt was bred and sold by West Blagdon Stud, and is from the family of the Grade 1 winner Photo Call, and the extended family of Cassandra Go, the dam of Halfway To Heaven, ancestress of Magical, Rhododendron, Auguste Rodin, Tickled Pink and Victoria Road.

"He is by a very good sire in Camelot, who has had a very good year," said Stroud. "West Blagdon always produces very good foals, he is a lovely individual, and he will add to our crop of homebred foals." (16:17)

The colt sold by Ringfort Stud is out of the Toronado mare Illykato, winner of the Listed Conqueror Stakes, third in the Dick Hern Fillies Stakes (L) and fourh in the Dick Poole Stakes (G3). She is a half-sister to Beacon, winner of the Flying Childers Stakes (G2).

Third dam is the Phoenix Stakes (G1) and Railway Stakes (G3) winner Eva Luna, placed third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (G1). (15:55)

"We are delighted," said Giles Wates. "We bought the mare privately, she is a lovely mare and the sale goes a long way to clearing her purchase price. The foal has always been a belter and a cracking foal from the day she was born. Hopefully, she will make up into a racehorse. We were hoping for that sort of figure. The mare is not in-foal, but is going to Night Of Thunder this spring."

American Bridge has her own black-type – she won the Premio Del Giubileo (G3) and is out of the Listed-winning mare More Than Sotka.

The Langton Stud draft is just four boxes up from Awbeg in Somerville Paddock R... it is been a very good half an hour for the stable yard. (15:43)

"We loved her, she is a very close relation to The Summit," said Lascelles. "She is a beautiful mover, has a big square hip, the yearling full-brother I believe is going to Ballydoyle, while the Sergei Prokofiev two-year-old finished second in an October maiden and has been sold to the US, so there is a bit happening on the page.

"I hope she will turn into a lovely two-year-old. It was a bit more than we were planning on spending, but there are a lot of end users buying today. She will to the farm from here and has been bought as a racing prospect."

The filly was sold by Awbeg Stud, who also sold Lot 870, a daughter of Blackbeard, to Liam Norris for 300,000gns.

Norris said: "She has been bought for Ben Speers and we did okay with pinhooks last year – we had a Kameko and a Too Darn Hot who made 200,000gns profit at the yearling sales between them.

"She is a beautiful. I know it is risky buying from a first-crop sire, but she has lots of scope. She is out of a nice young mare, and has bred two who are rated 104 and 95, with one in Hong Kong. It is a nice family and there is a bit happening, can't really go too wrong."

He added: "I like buying foals, it is my thing. I look at everything, I like to buy the individuals."

Awbeg's Paddy Fleming, brother James and his wife Deirdre were in almost a state of shock as to what they had just witnessed in the sale ring.

"That was not a bad few minutes!" smiled Paddy from the stable yard. "We knew the Wootton Bassett was going well, but not to that level, not anything to that level."

James added: "It is not a bad result for a 32,000gns mare! Jamie Moriarty found Accolade for us here at the December Mares Sale in 2021 and said that she was nailed on for Wootton Bassett due to The Summit. We bought her here in-foal to Sergei Prokofiev – and, hopefully, he will go on to do things in the US now, he looked very promising on his first run, and Wootton Bassett has had such an amazing year."

The Summit is also by the Coolmore-based sire, is a Group 3 winner, Group 1 Classic placed when second in the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) and is out of the second dam Acola (Acatenango).

Of Lot 870, Paddy added: "Blackbeard seems to be on fire today, the mare has come from nothing and has done so well to produce what she has. The filly was sold for a client." (15:30)

"We liked his conformation, he is a very strong and good-looking colt," said Hashimoto. "We will take him back to Japan and we are really excited because Baaeed was such a great racehorse."

Of the process of buying foals to ship back to Japan, he added: "We bought a draft here last year, and they have gone on really well."

The colt is out of Tranquil Star (Galileo), the dam of the Listed OaksTrial and Upavon Stakes third-placed Makinmedoit, and was sold by Genesis Green Stud Ltd.

Second dam We Can Say It Now (Starcraft) was a talented runner in New Zealand, winner of the Group 1 Levin Turf Classic and the Captain Cook Stakes (G1). She is dam of the Group 2 winner Sky Kingdom. (14:40)

Thee February-born filly is first foal out of the Farhh mare Bighearted, who won three races at three and was placed five times, including three times in Listed races.

She is a daughter of the champion 1996 Irish filly juvenile Bianca Nera, winner of the Moyglare Stakes, and from the family of the Group 1 winners Postponed, God Given, Simply Perfect, Proud And Regal, the Group 1-placed Gale Force Ten and the Grade 1-placed Silver Knott.

The same buyer then goes to 200,000gns for the Kenilworth House Stud-consigned Mehmas colt (Lot 812) out of the Marju mare Magenta and a half-brother to the Listed winner By All Means (Kodiac). (13:12)

The colt, bred by Joyce Wallsgrove, is a half-brother to the Railway Stakes (G2) winner and two-time juvenile Group 1-placed Beckford, a son of Bated Breath.

Wallsgrove was in the ring to watch her colt sell, and she said: "I bought Whirly Dancer in 2012 and I bred Beckford from her in 2015. He has been a real flagbearer and a superstar. This chap is a lot like him, they have got the same temperament, they grow up very quickly and, once they understand what you want them to do, they take to it very quickly – I suppose they are quite precocious."

Of the colt's price, she added: "It is like everything, you hope for a figure and I thought if I could get 100,000gns I would be happy, but he sold himself."

Of the decision to use Blackbeard she added: "I said to Dwayne that I am going to bite the bullet and send her to Ireland. I work for Newmarket Racecourses and I had seen him there [winner of the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes, 2022]. I really liked him then and he stuck in my mind."

Whirly Dancer is a half-sister to Poet's Word, the European champion older horse of 2018 and two-time Group 1 winner, and she was bought by Wallsgrave for just 9,500gns at the 2012 Tattersalls February Sale.

The mare is now a 17-year-old, and Wallsgrave has retained her daughter Poets Dance. She is by Poets Voice, was a two-time winner, placed seven times, was rated 86 and has a currently unraced two-year-old by Bated Breath. (12:44)

David O'Callaghan was underbidder.

"He is a lovely horse, a beautifully balanced horse with lovely action," said Conroy. "His half-brother has been very good, and this foal is quite similar and has a similar hind leg. The Blackbeards seem to be nice types."

The colt was sold by Fittocks Stud for breeder Andrew Bengough & Partners, dam Liberisque (Equiano), a one-time winner, having produced two horses BHA rated over 80, with Arizona Blaze rated 106.

Second dam Jane Austen (Galileo) won the Listed Finale Stakes. (12:09)

The colt is the first foal out of Capital Allocation, a US-winning daughter of Dubawi, who won over 5f and a daughter of the Listed winner and Group 3 -placed Nashmiah (Elusive City), who was BHA rated 100.

Capital Allocation is in-foal to Pinatubo. (11:37)

The mare is a half-sister to the Listed winners Cosmodrome (Bahri) and Splashdown (Falbrav), who is also a black-type producer.

She is in-foal to Mostahdaf. (10:49)
