One Cool Cat yearling tops Monday’s Tattersalls Flat
Session
Tattersalls Ireland’s December Flat Sale began Monday, and a yearling
daughter of Coolmore’s One Cool Cat proved the main draw. Consigned as Hip No. 133
by Mount Loftus Stud, the half-sister to the stakes-placed Rey Davis (King
Charlemagne) is from the family of the dual group-winning sprinter Swedish Shave
and was snapped up by Oneway Bloodstock for 45,000. She is destined for the
Lambourn yard of Tom Dascombe.
Earlier, BBA Ireland paid 42,000 for Glenburnie
Stables’ Hip 49, the four-year-old filly MIST AND STONE (Xaar). The
twice-winning daughter of 1998 Fred Darling S. (Eng-G3) heroine Daunting Lady (Mujadil) shares the same page as the talented distaffers Mezzogiorno, Monturani and the top-class South African performer Rabiya.
Bobby O’Ryan, bidding on behalf of an unnamed client of trainer Brian Ellison, paid
40,000 for Hip 8, Kingsdale Stud’s three-year-old KINGSDALE ORION
(Intikhab). The colt is a half-brother to the very smart Indian Maiden (Ire) (Indian Ridge), who was a dual winner this summer.
In what is now becoming
a familiar pattern, the session was marked by a clearance rate of 55 percent.
“As well as our UK
and home-based buyers, we have clients from Greece, Slovakia, Czech Republic,
Sweden, Denmark and South Africa, and a couple of yearlings were also bought for
Korean interests,” Tattersalls Ireland’s Managing Director George Mernagh. “Considering that the market in general is very concentrated in
the upper echelons at the moment, most vendors are very pleased with the day’s
activity.”
