Excitement builds as Tattersalls unveils catalogues for Books 2, 3 and 4
Hunt now on for the next Battaash or Mohaather
The catalogues for Books 2, 3 and 4 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale were released online on Tuesday, with the hunt now on to find the next Battaash or Mohaather.
Book 2 features 816 yearlings and will take place on October 12-14; Book 3 has 602 lots catalogued and will take place on October 15-16; while Book 4 has a further 83 yearlings selling on the morning of October 17.
Book 2 graduates who have flown the flag globally this year include Addeybb, Battaash, Fifty Stars, Mohaather and Way To Paris, as well as impressive Group 2 juvenile winner Minzaal.
This year's catalogue features siblings to an impressive 174 Group and Listed winners including the Time Test half-brother to last year's Irish Oaks winner Star Catcher; the Australia three-parts brother to Irish Derby hero Treasure Beach and half-siblings to Group 1 winners Accidental Agent and Donjuan Triumphant.
In addition there are 110 offspring of Group- and Listed-winning mares including the Sea The Stars filly out of Matron Stakes scorer Chachamaidee; the Kodiac colt out of EP Taylor Stakes winner Fraulein; and the Aclaim filly out of smart Argentine racemare Chibola, dam of this year's Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner Nando Parrado.
Meanwhile, all of the yearlings in Books 3 and 4 of the October Yearling Sale are eligible for the ever-popular £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes.
Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said: "Both the highest-rated colt in Europe, Mohaather, and the highest-rated sprinter in Europe, Battaash, were purchased at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
"Book 3 has also had another outstanding year demonstrating the consistent quality to be found in the second week of the October Yearling Sales at Park Paddocks.
"Huge demand for places in our yearling sales has ensured catalogues of real depth and quality catering to buyers at all levels of the market from throughout the world."
