The catalogues for Books 2-4 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale are now available online.
Book 2 comprises 773 yearlings and takes place from October 14-16, while 571 lots are scheduled to go under the hammer from October 17-18 when Book 3 takes centre stage. Book 4 has a further 81 yearlings also selling on Friday, October 18, immediately following the conclusion of Book 3.
Recent graduates of Book 2 include a number of Group 1 winners this year, headed by the Queen Anne Stakes scorer Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who doubled his top-level tally when landing Sunday's Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. He is joined by the seven-time Group 1 winner Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), last seen winning the Yasuda Kinen at Tokyo in June, and July Cup hero Mill Stream (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}).
The 2024 catalogue features own or half-brothers and sisters to an impressive 172 Group and Listed winners, including Lot 748, the Sea The Stars (Ire) half-brother to Derby winner Golden Horn (GB); Lot 738, the Palace Pier (GB) half-brother to Group 1-winning sprinter Regional (GB) (Territories {Ire}); and Lot 717, the Ulysses (Ire) half-brother to the G1 Sun Chariot Stakes heroine Integral (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}).
In addition, there are 125 sons and daughters of Group- and Listed-winning mares catalogued, including Lot 1205, the Dubawi (Ire) colt out of the G1 Prix de Diane scorer Star Of Seville (GB) (Duke Of Marmalade {Ire}), and Lot 916, the Mehmas (Ire) filly out of the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Mabs Cross (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}).
Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Hong Kong-trained global superstar Romantic Warrior has been an extraordinary ambassador for Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, as have the locally trained Group 1 stars Charyn and Mill Stream. Along with Group 2 Queen Mary winner Leovanni, purchased for just 20,000 guineas at Book 3 last year, they demonstrate the quality and value on offer during the second week of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
“As ever Books 2, 3 and 4 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale showcase so many of the finest British and Irish yearlings and the combination of quality yearlings and consistent global success at the highest level is a compelling mix for huge numbers of buyers from throughout Europe and further afield.”
