Lot 47: "George has had a lot of luck with Dandy Man," said Billy Jackson Stops after signing with trainer George Scott for this colt by the sire, consigned by Barton Stud.

"He is an athletic sort, the mare has already proved that she can do it, and I think he is good value."

The colt is a half-brother to this year's Listed Royal Ascot Windsor Castle Stakes winner Ain't Nobody (Sands Of Mali) and out of the mare Burmese Waltz (Showcasing), the winner of two races at two and four and placed four times, including in the Silver Wokingham Handicap.

That luck that Scott has enjoyed with the sire has come courtesy of the speedy Rocket Rodney, whom he trains for Victorious Racing. The four-year-old has won three races, including the Listed Dragon Stakes as a juvenile and the Al Riffa Cup in Qatar in December. (12:03)

Lot 37: Peter and Ross Doyle Bloodstock go to 40,000gns for the Norris Bloodstock-consigned colt by A'Ali, whose first-crop are yearlings of this year.

He is out of the unraced Berkshire Honey (Sakhee's Secret), the headline performers in the pedigree being Bomb Alaska, winner of the Listed Ben Marshall Stakes and placed 14 times including in the Gordon Richards Stakes (G3), and his dam So True, a runner-up in the Musidora Stakes (G3) and the St Simon Stakes (G3).

Berkshire Honey has had one winner so far – Jojo Rabbit who won six races and achieved a BHA rating high of 89.

A'Ali, by Society Rock and standing at Newsells Park Stud, won five stakes races, four times at Group 2 level – the 5f Flying Childers Stakes (G2), the Sapphire Stakes (G2), the Prix Robert Papin (G2) and the Norfolk Stakes (G2). (11:53)

Lot 8: the first of two lots due through the ring by Lope de Vega makes 62,000gns and is bought by Andrew Oliver.

He is out of Alienate (Oasis Dream), a half-sister to Logician (Frankel), the champion three-year-old stayer in Europe of 2019 and winner of the St Leger, and to Suffused, a Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed in the US.

It is the Juddmonte-developed family of Cityscape, Bated Breath and Equilateral.

The May-born colt is a half-brother to the Group 2-placed Lmay (Frankel), who finished fourth in the Group 2 T.von Zastrow Stutenpreis over 1m4f on Saturday. (10:52)

Chairman's Statement: At the conclusion of the 2024 Tattersalls July Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented;

“The combination of top-class racing at Newmarket’s July Meeting and the quality bloodstock on offer at the Tattersalls July Sale makes this one of the most enjoyable weeks of the European racing and sales calendar and as ever Europe’s premier midsummer sale has attracted an extraordinarily diverse crowd of buyers to Park Paddocks.

“A smaller catalogue and one perhaps lacking a little of the depth which produced the record breaking 2023 July Sale has understandably produced a set of figures which have not quite matched the heights of last year. Nevertheless, there has been sustained demand at all levels of the market which has resulted in an enviable clearance rate yet again in excess of 90 per cent and a record-equalling number of horses selling for 250,000 guineas or more.

“So often we reflect on the sheer number of overseas buyers drawn to sales of this nature at Tattersalls and yet again the international buyers have played a huge part in the success of the past three days. Participation from throughout the Gulf region has been prolific as ever, Australian and New Zealand buyers continue to demonstrate their appetite for quality European middle-distance performers and we have had buyers from throughout Europe, India, Japan, Libya, Turkey and first-time visitors from Indonesia all making significant contributions alongside their British and Irish Flat and National Hunt counterparts.

“We should also recognise the importance of the consistent support we receive from so many of the world’s leading owner/breeders. Regular high-class consignments from the likes of Coolmore, Godolphin, Juddmonte and Shadwell are hugely enticing and consistently attract international owners and breeders confident that they will be able to access some of the finest bloodlines to be found anywhere in the world at Tattersalls.” (10:00)

Lot 829A: the progressive and lightly raced Swindon (Wootton Bassett), from William Haggas' Somerville Lodge Ltd. draft, is bought by the Libyan syndicate Sky Racing for 175,000gns, outbidding Oliver St Lawrence and team.

A spokesperson for Sky Racing said: "This syndicate is organising racing in Libya and we have horses in Dubai and Libya. We hope this horse will go to Dubai, and also take in a big race in Libya at the end of October at the National Shooting and Equestrian Club in Libya, that will be the main target.

"The owners of the syndicate are pushing hard to improve the racing industry in Libya and there is good prize-money for the race in October.

"There are also stallions and broodmares travelling to Libya, too."

Alessandro Marconi, who helped source the horse and was in charge of bidding, added: "We have been trying hard to buy horses for three days but have been hitting the cross bar. We have been underbidders on four horses at least and it was kinda of frustrating, but we have been able to score late like the English team last night!

"We wanted to buy a horse who could improve and he might handle the Dirt eventually, he is versatile and, hopefully, he will carry the flag for an emerging syndicate."

The team also purchased Lot 842, Gamekeeper by Blue Point and sold by Godolphin. (19:42)

Lot 826: Oliver St Lawrence takes the winning 100,000gns bid for Salvuccio, a three-year-old by Dutch Art and sold by The Castlebridge Consignment for owners Susan Roy.

The three-time-winning gelding, previously in training with George Boughey, has been bought with Bahrain in mind. He won last time out at Windsor over 6f.

"He is heading for the Bahrain Turf series there is a good programme for the sprinters, at least five races if not more for horse rated 85-100 and some conditions races, hopefully the Bahrain tracks will suit him,"said Fawzi Nass who will be training Salvuccio. (19:26)

Lot 800A: wildcard entry The Camden Colt, consigned as part of the Baroda Stud draft, is a fourth purchase this week by Omar Esmil Ghrghar.

"He goes to Dubai and into training with Bhupat Seemar, and he really likes this horse," reported Ghrghar after spending 130,000gns on the three-year-old colt by Footstepsinthesand.

Formerly trained by Richard Hannon, The Camden Colt has won once from 11 starts and is rated 89. He finished 16th of 29 last time out in the Britannia Handicap, having finished second and then third in competitive 0-85 and -0-90 handicaps at Newmarket earlier this spring. (18:19)

Lot 780: "He has been bought for trainer Jim Boyle," said Ross Doyle after spending 100,000gns on the Jane Chapple-Hyam-consigned Son Of Man, who finished third in last year's Horris Hill Stakes (G3). "He is horse who could travel a bit, he fits the profile form-wise and on rating. He is a very nice physical and has been turned out really well by Jane Chapple-Hyam, and looks great for a horse who has been quite busy. I am delighted to get him and fingers crossed he can go well, and it might be Bahrain where he heads – the good prize-money there is a huge attraction." (13:09)

Lot 754: Soldier's Empire is purchased by HH Sheikh Sultan Aldeen MS Al-Khalifa for 180,000gns, and will run under his racing banner Al Mohamediya Racing.

Spokesperson Ali Majeed said: "He will go straight to Bahrain from here and will not run again in the UK, and will be trained by Fawzi Nass. He is a serious horse, he could suit the Crown Prince Cup or the King's Cup, and he will lots of options when he is four."

The three-year-old colt by Bated Breath was sold by Ballygallon Stud having been in training with Ger Lyons. he won his maiden last October on the All-Weather at Dundalk and has been placed twice year over 1m1f on Turf at Gowran Park and The Curragh racing off a good handicap mark of 90. (12:40)

Lot 713: Rukaana (Dark Angel) and out of Shurooq from Charles Hills' Faringdon Place Stables is bought by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock / O'Neill Racing for 46,000gns.

"I have bought him to go to Jonjo and AJ O'Neil," said Matt Coleman. "He is a horse with plenty of size and scope and I have had my eye on him for a while as a jumping prospect.

"He had only run over a mile until his last start, when he was stepped up to 1m2f. I really liked his runs earlier in the year on soft ground – he has run on faster ground the last twice and not fared too badly in what I would regard as decent handicaps. But he does really appreciate soft ground and has hit the line strong in all of his races so far and I think a step up in trip will be beneficial.

"I like Dark Angels to go jumping – he has a number of good jumps horses and I think this horse has the size and scope. We will give him the summer off and then bring him back in the autumn for juvenile hurdles." (12:19)

Lot 741: Jubilee Walk (Study Of Man) makes 220,000gns and is bought online by the China Horse Club, buying out former part-owner Qatar Racing.

Sold by Jamie Railton having been in training with James Ferguson, the gelding is rated 97 and last won over 5f at York in May off a BHA mark of 90. He is the winner of three races from six starts.

He is out of the Oasis Dream mare Starlit Sands, winner of the Group 3 Prix d'Arenberg, and runner-up in the Queen Mary Stakes (G2). It is the further family of the Lennox Stakes (G2) winner and dual Group 1 placed Sandrine.

Matt Houldsworth, European manager for China Horse Club, said: "He’ll stay with James and we’re going to target Bahrain. We’ll take him around the Middle East and perhaps we’ll go to Dubai as well. We haven’t had runners in Bahrain before but it’s something we’re keen to do as it’s obviously an emerging part of the world. We thought this horse fitted the profile nicely as he’s very much on the up.” (12:05)

Lot 690: the juvenile filly Ripple Effect is going into training with Hamad Al Jehani, bought by Abdulrahman Bin Fahad Al-Attiyah for 50,000gns,.

"She is going to Qatar and will run in the races for three-year-old fillies next year," said Al-Attiyah. "There is a good programme now in Qatar. She is a nice-looking filly, she has run three times now and shown form. She might run again in the UK, especially if there is a suitable bonus race for her – she is a maiden, and we are just deciding on her plan now."

Since the catalogue was published the two-year-old daughter of Kameko has run twice, finishing third at Doncaster and fourth at Thirsk.

She is out of the Dansili mare, the Listed winner Ripples Maid, the dam of six winners including Mikki Charm, winner of the Group 2 Sankei Sports Hai Hanshin Himba Stakes in Japan. (11:07)

Lot 674: Incremental is another purchase this week for Omar Esmil Ghrghar, the gelding by Kingman purchased from Michael Bell's Fitzroy House Stables for 42,000gns.

"I really like this horse and the shape of him. He is a very good horse and will be heading to Libya. Our budget was 30,000gns but so many people were interested in him, I decided to keep going and that was pretty much our last bid. I have bought horse this week for Dubai and France."

Incremental, from the family of Galiway, is the winner of three races, successful last time out on July 3rd at Epsom over 1m4f off a mark of 80. (10:30)

Lot 631: Bur Dubai is heading to Australia and into training with Mick Price, the son of Night Of Thunder signed for under the Price Kent Racing / Myracehorse Australia banner at 250,000gns. Jason Singh was taking bids over the phone, and the horse was consigned by Kevin Phiippart De Foy's Induna Stables as the winner of one race and BHA rated 89.

Michael Kent , co-trainer with Price, chatted on the phone from Melbourne before heading in to work for the morning.

"We work the sectionals really hard and put in hours and hours of work in to that research," reported Kent. "Although this horse's last start, when he won by 9l was impressive, it was his performance in a Listed race at Epsom in April that really impressed us when he finished sixth. It was a hot hot race and they ripped home, and he put in some really fast sectionals.

"He has got upside on upside on upside for us and has the perfect profile for Australia – he is fast, we love his sire, and he is the right type with bone, good feet and he vetted clean."

Of ownership plans, Kent outlined: "We have partnered with My Racehorse, who has done so well, and we will syndicate the remaining percentage in the horse, there are shares available!"

The horse will not travel immediately and will spend some down time in Britain: "We will give him six weeks and let him take advantage of your 'summer' and warmer weather – he will then ship and can slot into our routine," said Kent, who added: "I worked in Newmarket and know Kevin – he is a lovely fella and is a great trainer who looks after his horse really well, that was a big positive for us, too."

My Racehorse owns the Australian Group 1 Metropolitan winner Just Fine – the son of Sea The Stars purchased at Tattersalls by McKeever Bloodstock / Waterhouse Bott Racing for 300,000gns from Freemason Lodge Stables at the 2022 Autumn Horses In Training Sale. (18:34)

Lot 608: the 2023 Tattersalls Craven Sale has provided a rich seam for the Gredley family – through agent Freddy Tylicki the family purchased flagbearer Ambiente Friendly, who this season won the Lingfield Derby Trial (L) before going onto to put in two great efforts when second and third in the Derby and the Irish Derby, but they also purchased, under the family's Stetchworth and Middle Park Studs banner, the Night Of Thunder colt City House for 85,000gns.

Trained by James Fanshawe alongside the family's Classic performer, City House is now the winner of one race over6f and he was sold today to JS Bloodstock / G Scott Racing for 180,000gns.

Trainer George Scott, who had a great winter last season with his string of horses in Bahrain, said: "We enjoyed our time in Bahrain and we were looking for a couple of sprinters, and all being well he will end up there. City House looks a really robust horse – James Fanshawe has done a great job with him and there looks to be plenty of miles left on the clock, he gave him a positive write up. Equally as important Callum [Shepherd] and Dan Muscat both rode him and really like the horse, too.

"He looks like one who will go on fast ground and could run over a stiff 5f or6f, there is great prize-money in Bahrain and it is great fun. My client is a new to me and he is based in London, but has some of his own clients in Bahrain and Dubai. He will be working over there a bit in the winter so he would like some action while he is there."

Scott added: "We are looking to strengthen our Bahrain team this winter. The prize-money is great, it is very competitive, you need the right type of horse, they need to be durable. If we can get this horse into a groove, he could win a substantial part of his purchase price back. He fits the bill and looks perfect for the job."

Of the 180,000gns purchase price, Scott said: "I thought he'd make a bit less than that but am also not surprised – I thought we'd have to fend off the people who looked as though they were bidding against us."

Isle Of Jura was bought by JS Bloodstock and Scott at the 2023 Tattersalls Ascot March Sale for £150,000 for owner Victorious Racing. He was a subsequent four-time winner in Bahrain with victories including the Listed His Majesty King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa Cup, and then has won his two starts this season back in Britain – at Goodwood and then at Royal Ascot when successful in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes. It was a first Royal meeting success for Scott and jockey Shepherd.

Scott updated on plans: "He has come out of Royal Ascot great and all roads led to the King George and, hopefully, we get there in one piece." (18:02)

Lot 573: a truly international future beckons for Bad Desire, a colt by Wootton Bassett sold by The Castlebridge Consignment and previously trained by Joseph O'Brien.

Bought by Libyan owner Omar Esmil Gharghar for 150,000gns, the three-year-old, who is still a maiden and rated 94, is to be trained initially in France by the Italian-born, French-based trainer Gianluca Bietolini. The plan is then to ship the horse to Dubai where he will be trained by Mehmet Yusuf Marangoz, who is from Turkey but hopes to take out his training licence in Dubai.

"I like this horse a lot, he has good form at Listed level on his last start and is well rated," said the colt's new owner. "I have horses in France and he will join the string there to start with. I am very happy to have bought this horse." (17:14)

Lot 559: the last in the ring from the Juddmonte draft fetches 300,000gns, and Calabria (Kingman) is bought by Avenue Bloodstock.

She is a daughter of the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet winner Romantica (Galileo) and a granddaughter of the two-time European champion Banks Hill.

"I have bought two very nice fillies from Juddmonte," said Mark McStay of Avenue Bloodstock having also purchased Lot 556 for 80,000gns. "The first is a Le Havre filly and a daughter of a Group 1 winner [Proportional], and both very good physicals.

"As we know Juddmonte blood is very hard to come by, the farm is the best breeder in the world, and I am absolutely thrilled to get them. We had to dig deep to get the filly from Banks Hill family [Lot 559], but it is probably the best pedigree in the book – when you see Banks Hill, Dansili, Hasili, Champs Elysees on the page, it doesn't need much explanation as to why you had to dig so deep and why there was such stiff competition to get her."

He added: "I fancy Kingman as a broodmare sire, he could easily make it. The fillies were beautifully presented by Juddmonte and recommended. The mating plans will be fluid of both, but they will go to some of the best stallions and will be given the best chance." (16:47)

Lot 558: Badgers Bloodstock goes to 300,000gns for Anncapa (Frankel), the three-year-old daughter of Ventura (Chester House), the four-time US Grade 1 winner, and an own-sister to Fount, winner of the Prix de Lieurey (G3).

It is a family well known to Grant Pritchard-Gordon of Badgers Bloodstock – Pritchard Gordon having been worked for Juddmonte for 17 years.

"She has been bought for a long-standing European client, who loves Juddmonte families as much as I do. Seeing as we know so much about Juddmonte, it was the obvious thing to do. said Pritchard-Gordon.

He continued: "She is a lovely big filly, she walked well out there, and she goes straight to the paddocks from here. This particular family I have known for a long time – I go back beyond Roupala [third dam]." (16:22)

Lot 543: Harvard Sound (Ten Sovereigns) ex Music And Dance (Galileo) is bought by JS Bloodstock for 50,000gns, the gelding previously trained by Tom Clover for Clipper Logistics.

The three-year-old has run twice – he finished second on his debut in May, before going on to win a 7f Lingfield maiden by an easy 7l.

The gelding, bred by Norelands Bloodstock and M Gilsenan, is from the extended family of Hasili and her black-type-winning progeny – Banks Hill, Cacique, Champs Elysees, Intercontinental, Heat Haze and Dansili. (15:44)

Lot 505: Syd Hosie buys a third horse today, a second son of Frankel and the most expensive of the trio going to 150,000gns for Victory Shout, who is a winner over 1m4f since the catalogue was published and was trained by Karl Burke at Spigot Lodge Stables.

Sat by the back wall, alongside assistant Tony Charlton, Hosie said: "We both liked this horse and we have bought him on spec. This was the plan from the offset to come to this sale and buy some hurdling types – we can get them home and into a routine in good time before the NH season."

The colt is a half-brother to two winners and is a grandson of Cloud Castle, winner of the Prix Vermeille (G1), and dam of three black-type winners and ancestress of seven, including the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) winner Queen's Trust, and the three-time US Grade 1 winner Domestic Spending. (14:50)

Lot 428: the first on Day 2 to hit a six-figure sum is the Zoustar gelding Star Runner, bought for 105,000gns with a jumping future ahead of him

Gary Bannon, assistant to William Durkan and standing at the top of the back stairs, was responsible for bidding and explained future plans for the three-year-old.

"We have bought him to go juvenile hurdling,"said Bannon. "We were very lucky at this sale last year buying from Jamie Railton, we bought Eagle Fang who ran at Cheltenham and has been a good juvenile for us."

He added: "He was unlucky on is last run, he was up after the line on his last run. We have been following him and were happy that he came up for sale – we have had to push the boat out a little bit but we are pleased to have him.

"We will get him home and get him jumping, and he is for the boss. "

Star Runner, who is still a maiden, is a half-brother to the good four-year-old filly Running Lion, winner of the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot.

Bannon added: "He is a big scopey and rangy horse so should jump a hurdle and is out of a Dansili mare so should stay and, hopefully, do us justice."

Last year's purchase Eagle Fang, a two-time winner over hurdles and last successful when winning at Punchestown in May, finished third in the Grade 3 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in December and finished mid-division in the Boodles Juvenile Hurdle at The Festival. (13:01)

Lot 412: Rosy Kiss, who is a three-year-old filly by Calyx, is bought for 43,000gns.

Consigned by Marco Botti's Prestige Place, the daughter of Calyx won over a mile at Leicester on her last start, just her fifth career outing. The Racing Post reporting after the race that the filly "found plenty" and there should be "more to come".

She is a half-sister to the Group 3-placed Cribbs Causeway (Rip Van Winkle) and her dam Bristol Fashion (Dansili) is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Coronet, the Group 2 winner and Group 1 Irish Derby-placed Midas Touch and the Group-placed Streetcar To Stars.

Third dam is the Sun Chariot Stakes (G2) winner Last Second, the dam of ten winners, including the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (G1) hero Aussie Rules. (12:00)
