Sivoliere, I'll Have Another and Raise You among star lots at Tattersalls sale

The Listed-winning and Group 3-placed Sivoliere, in foal to leading stallion Kingman, looks set to be one of the highlights of the two-day Tattersalls February Sale, for which 401 lots have been catalogued.

The auction takes place on January 30-31 and will feature the ever popular TBA Stallion Parade before the start of the sale.

Comprising 175 fillies in/out of training, 31 broodmares, 144 colts/geldings in/out of training, 31 yearlings and 20 two-year-olds, the catalogue features consignments from many of the world’s leading owner-breeders, including Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, who have 45 lots catalogued between them.

Offered by European Sales Management, Sivoliere, the daughter of Sea The Stars, won three races as a two-year-old, including the Listed Criterium du Bequet and also finished a close-up fifth in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

A half-sister to 2019 Group 3 winner Suphala, her dam is the Listed winner Sefroua, whilst her grand-dam is the Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner Sophisticat.

At the 2019 Tattersalls December Foal Sale, Sivoliere’s Frankel filly foal realised 360,000gns, before she herself fetched 575,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale.

The largest consignment in the catalogue is the team of 28 by The Castlebridge Consignment, with 12 fillies in training, nine colts/geldings in training, four yearlings, two mares and a two-year-old filly making up the draft.

Godolphin have a draft of 20 on the first day, offering 17 fillies out of training along with three mares.

This comprises a host of regally bred fillies by top sires, highlighted by Memphis, a Dubawi half-sister to Group 1 Fillies’ Mile winner Lyric Of Light; Paschalia, a Sea The Stars filly out of Group 1 Preis von Europa winner Baila Me; and the Listed placed Strings Of Life, from the great family of Alidiva, Ali-Royal and Sleepytime.

Other well-bred fillies in the catalogue include the Listed-winner and multiple Stakes-placed I'll Have Another, a daughter of Dragon Pulse who will be consigned by The National Stud.Buyers looking for colts and geldings in training with smart form also have plenty to choose from. Amongst the potential stars is the four-year-old Lope De Vega colt Raise You, who ran out a comfortable winner of the Listed Fairway Stakes last spring and was more recently third in the Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster Stakes in August.

Commenting on the 2020 Tattersalls February Sale, Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said: “The Tattersalls February Sale continues to be a source of high-quality breeding stock and horses in training with the dam of last year’s multiple Group winning two-year-old A'Ali being a prime example, as is Dramatic Device, a 20,000gns purchase at last year’s February Sale, who subsequently sold for 220,000gns at the Autumn Horses in Training Sale.

"Along with the two-year-olds and yearlings on offer, this year’s February Sale looks certain to attract the usual diverse mix of domestic and international buyers who have made the Tattersalls February Sale such a consistently popular fixture.”

The sale starts immediately after the TBA Stallion Parade, which begins at 11am on Thursday, January 30.

The catalogue for the sale can be viewed online at www.tattersalls.com and will be published this Thursday.
