Europe’s most valuable sales race series continues this Saturday with the £200,000 Tattersalls Millions Median Auction Trophy. A total of 10 have been declared for the six furlong contest, headed by the Richard Fahey-trained NIMR, a winner of his only start for owners Al Shaqab. The Shamardal colt holds an entry for the 2016 Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas.
Other notable runners include the Amanda Perrett-trained ZHUI FENG, am impressive winner at Kempton on his second start and holding entries in the Group 1 Middle Park and Dewhurst Stakes and Godolphin's SEASTROM, trained by Charlie Appleby and winner of a valuable maiden at York’s May meeting.
Richard Fahey commented; “Nimr made an impressive debut at Carlisle for owners Al Shaqab Racing. This race will be a step up in class but he is in good form at home and there is some great prize money on offer. We hope he will run well”
