Seven Further Wildcards Added to Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale
In addition to the high-class ENGLISH KING, seven further wildcards, headed by the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes winning two-year-old A CASE OF YOU have been added to the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale, which takes place from Monday 26th October to Thursday 29th October.
Catalogued as Lot 1153C, the John McConnell-trained A CASE OF YOU broke his maiden over seven furlongs at Down Royal before stepping up in grade for an impressive win in the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh. The son of HOT STREAK was given an Official Rating of 108 and a Timeform rating of 102p following that effort on only his third start.
Another Stakes winning two-year-old to be offered as a wildcard will be the Roger Teal-trained GUSSY MAC, who ran out an impressive winner of the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown on his third start. The son of DARK ANGEL has since produced respectable efforts in top-class company, including behind subsequent Group 1 Middle Park Stakes winner SUPREMACY in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. GUSSY MAC will be catalogued as Lot 334A and consigned by Roger Teal’s Windsor House Stables.
Also set to attract plenty of interest is Godolphin’s four-year-old KHAGAN who boasts high class form for Andre Fabre, including when beaten only half a length into third in the Group 2 Prix Hocquart. This followed another strong performance behind the subsequent Group 1 runner up QUEST THE MOON in the Group 3 Prix du Lys. The son of LE HAVRE is a half-brother to the Group 3 winning SACRED LIFE from the family of Group 1 St Leger winner RULE OF LAW and will be offered by Godolphin as Lot 746A on the second day of the Autumn Horses in Training Sale.
There are two further Irish consigned wildcard lots including the Jessica Harrington-trained CHOICE AND CHANCE, who is offered with a Timeform rating of 86 for her win in a competitive maiden at Fairyhouse on her most recent start. The well-bred daughter of MUHAARAR is from the illustrious Niarchos family of Champion two-year-olds COUP DE GENIE, DENEBOLA and MACHIAVELLIAN, and will be consigned by Baroda Stud as Lot 334B.
The third promising two-year-old coming from Ireland will be the Andrew Slattery-trained ASCOT ADVENTURE, an impressive winner of his only start at Cork. The son of MAYSON out of the Listed winner KASUMI gained a Timeform rating of 86p for that effort and is catalogued as Lot 746B.
David Brown’s Wiseton Stables will consign the highly progressive BEN LILLY who completed a remarkable five-timer with victory at Redcar on October 16th, taking his career record to five wins from ten starts and earning him a Timeform rating of 92. Catalogued as Lot 1153B, the son of GLENEAGLES is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner WESTERN ARISTOCRAT and Grade 2 winner ZINDAYA.
Completing the octet of wildcards is the Simon & Ed Crisford-trained SACRE BLEU, who has produced a string of promising placed efforts in his last three starts. Timeform-rated 82, the well-related son of OASIS DREAM is a half-brother to the Listed winners SAHRAWI and SARRASIN and will be consigned by Gainsborough Stables as Lot 334C.
