The Tattersalls Ireland Ascot Breeze Up Sale has attracted the strongest catalogue ever assembled with numbers increasing to 102 lots this year. This is the first Breeze Up Sale of 2016 in Europe and the success of past graduates on the track has raised the profile significantly.
Ascot to Royal Ascot
The Wow Signal, a £50,000 purchase at the 2014 sale, demonstrated how this sale is perfectly timed to allow two year old graduates run at Royal Ascot. The said two year old won the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes before going on to take the Prix Morny Gr.1 at Longchamp. First Selection has handsomely repaid Simon Crisford, who in his first season of training, purchased the first lot through the ring last year for £42,000. By winning the Solario Stakes Gr.3 at Sandown he has progressed from his Royal Ascot run and finished the season being beaten only 1¾ lengths in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagadere Gr.1 at Longchamp.
A strong stallion profile of sires represented include:
Bated Breath, Canford Cliffs, Dark Angel, Dream Ahead, Elusive Quality, Exceed and Excel, Footstepsinthesand, Harbour Watch, Holy Roman Emperor, Invincible Spirit, Kodiac, Kyllachy, Lonhro, Loup de Vega, Mayson, Makfi, Power, Requinto, Sepoy and Sir Prancelot are all represented in the first Breeze Up Sale of 2016.
