Miss Amulet half-sister destined for Ascot Yearling Sale in Newmarket

Tattersalls have catalogued 257 yearlings for its Ascot Yearling Sale, which takes place at Park Paddocks in Newmarket on Tuesday, September 8, with all lots eligible for the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes.

The Ascot Yearling Sale has quickly established a reputation as a source of precocious juveniles who are producing results on the track for connections. Since last year, purchasers have sourced 32 individual two-year-old winners at an average price of £12,500, with nine black-type winners to date.

Graduates include the impressive Group 3 Molecomb Stakes winner Steel Bull, purchased for £15,000 from Rathasker Stud and entered for the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday, and Miss Amulet, the Listed Marwell Stakes winner purchased for £7,500 from Rockview Stables.

Other notable graduates include Liberty Beach, Shadn, Summer Sands and Urban Icon. Among this year's line-up are 96 siblings to two-year-old winners and 69 yearlings out of mares who won at two.

There are 20 siblings to black-type performers including an El Kabeir half-sister to the aforementioned Miss Amulet from Ringfort Stud, and a Gutaifan half-sister to the Listed-winning juvenile Flaming Princess from Linacre House Stud.

The catalogue also features the only yearling by Goken - already the sire of ten winners from his first crop - to be offered at a select sale in Britain this year.
