The farm's representative Shingo Hashimoto, who was sat in the seats in the sale ring, said: "She is, of course, a half-sister to a very good horse in Inspiral, she is very strong and a very nice walker.

"We had a bit of luck with a pinhook, we like Fastnet Rock and she is for Too Darn Hot," said Gordon Watson buying the mare on behalf of Watership Down Stud.

The bit of luck came courtesy of Rocana's son Echala - he was bought by Charlie Gordon Watson Bloodstock / Watership Down for 150,000gns here at the 2022 December Foal Sale, sold as a yearling at the October Book 1 Sale for 300,000gns. The colt is in training with Jane Chapple Hyam for Peter Harris, has run three times, finished third twice and is rated 85. (20:33)

She is a half-sister to Crystal Pegasus, a Listed winner in Australia, and to Crystal Hope, placed in a Listed race at Newbury, and dam of this year's Zetland Stakes (G3) winner Starzintheireyes.

The second dam Crystal Star was a star mare and has produced the champion and the Group 1 winner Crystal Ocean, the Grade 1 winner Hillstar, Crystal Capella, a dual Group 2 winner, and Crystal Zvezda, a Listed race winner.

Crystal Estrella was bought by Team Valour at the Tattersalls July Sale for 275,000gns in 2022 from Freemason Lodge Stables. (20:31)

Cairde Go Deo raced for owner Mark Dobbin, was trained by Ger Lyons and was a dual Listed winner and Group 3 placed.

She is in-foal to Night Of Thunder on a March cover.

"She’s been purchased for Rokuroda family's Taihei Farm in Japan," said Michael Youngs, who was in charge of bidding. "She was a good, tough racemare and very attractive – she uses herself very well. She should be a good fit for them and I’ve very happy to have got her for them." (20:30)

MV Magnier said: "It's a family we know very well as we have her Group 2-winning half-sister Heartache, who has produced Salt Lake City and Exactly for us. Exactly is an exciting two-year-old by Frankel who has been third in a couple of Group 1s this season and we are excited about her for next year.

"In fairness to Ed Harper and his father they have been very good breeders for a long time now and this is a great family that has produced black-type horses in every generation. She will go to either City Of Troy or Auguste Rodin."

Unbreak My Heart, trained by Clive Cox, finished third as a juvenile in the 5f Beacon Stakes (G3). She is out of the Group 3-placed Place In My Heart (Compton Place) and it is a long-term Whitsbury Manor Stud nurtured family. (20:07)

The bidding opened up at 200,000gns, and sped through to seven figures, Federico Barberini taking the million bid, others involved included Kia Joorabchian and, most persistently, Will Walden who was sat beside John Sykes. They took the online bidder to 1,700,000gns, but had no answer to the final winning bid.

Caught U Looking was consigned by Tally-Ho Stud, Tony O'Callaghan of the farm, a part-owner of the filly alongside Sabina Kelly, wife of breeder Peter Kelly of Kelly Equine Services.

"I bred her and I always wanted to stay in her, Noel Meade wanted to buy her and so when he bought her I stayed in for a half," said Kelly. "Tony was then interested in her and so he bought in, I was so chuffed that he wanted part of a horse I had bred. He has been a wonderful partner the whole way."

He added: "Coming here, I knew she was going to go better than I had hoped as she had 12 or 13 vets, and the right people were on her."

Sabina Kelly was full of emotion as she came out of the sale ring, and said: "Oh my gosh! It was incredible, she has always been a pet, we have always loved her. I am in shock, it is amazing! We weren't expecting that. She is a superb filly, and it is sad to see her go, but she has been brilliant and we have had a great season."

Purchaser Vin Cox of Willingham said: "She has been bought to race on, we want to do a Via Sistina [bought at this sale last year for 2,700,000gns] with her. Bids were coming from all corners of the auditorium, which is great as you want to see competition, you hate to be the only one out there.

"She made around where we thought we might end up. She is well-performed filly, she has a pretty good profile to race on. We will send her to Australia, and take a path similar to Via Sistina.

"We are not suggested that she could turn into the same sort of horse, we'd love her to, but you need to keep the feet on the ground and hope she can win some nice races. It is no secret that staying horses from this part of the world can perform exceptionally well in Australia, and she has already performed well.

"We have not got any plans as yet, we will sit on that for a little while yet. James Ferguson did a great job with Via Sistina last year so we will probably send her to James and he can look after her for the short term and then we will put her on a plane."

By Harzand, Caught U Looking won her last start on October 13, the Listed Bluebell Stakes, having won the Group 3 Weld Park Stakes as a juvenile. She won three races in total and was BHA rated 104. She has won over £116,000 in prize-money, and finished fifth in the Oaks (G1) and the Irish Oaks (G1), and sixth in the Fillies' Mile (G1).

"She is for Too Darn Hot,"said Gordon Watson. "She was a good racehorse, she is by Lawman, who is a proven broodmare sire, and we are delighted."

Of Too Darn Hot's continued progress this year, Lloyd-Webber said: "We are thrilled and could not be happier with him." (19:13)

Abstract has finished fourth twice in Listed races in France since the catalogue was published, and Durcan said: "She is very close to getting black-type, and if she could get her head in front she will be a valuable prospect – and a sounder surface might suit. We had that sort of price on her, in this market you have to be prepared to pay a premium, and Scott loves his racing."

Abstract is out of Ambivalence (Invincible Spirit), a daughter of the Group 3-placed Alpine Snow (Verglas) and from the extended family of Urban Sea.

The docket was signed by Durcan as Durcan / Lanigan agent for Heider Family Stables (18:19)

"There are plenty of exciting things to come, the family seems to sell well commercially, and as a young mare in foal to this sire she will have every chance," he added:"She has been bought for new British breeding venture called Underwood Hall Farm. I bought another mare earlier today, another nice young mare [Lot 1371], for the same client." (17:14)

A dual winner as a two-year-old, she won the Listed Roses Stakes as a juvenile and is in-foal on a March cover to Solider's Call. (16:45)

"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)
