THE first entries for the collaboration sale between Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital have been confirmed. The Southern Hemisphere Session, which is scheduled to take place on Tattersalls Online on December 11th-12th will feature mares covered to southern hemisphere time.

The three mares have been confirmed in foal to Too Darn Hot, who has made an outstanding start to his career at stud. Progeny of Too Darn Hot include champion Australian two-year-old and triple Group 1 winner Broadsiding and Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel and Group 1 Futurity Trophy winner Hotazhell.

“Too Darn Hot has made an extraordinary start to his career at stud, particularly in Australia and given he is covering a limited book to southern hemisphere time, opportunities to acquire a mare in foal to him are very scarce,” Tattersalls Online sales manager Katherine Sheridan said.

“He has 11 blacktype horses from his first Australian crop already and they are still just spring three-year-olds, so it’s exciting to think where things might progress to with him over the next 12 to 24 months.”

Accomplished

The trio of mares are led by dual Group 3 placed Galileo mare Know Thyself, an accomplished race filly that performed at the highest level internationally. A dual winner, she was group/listed placed on four occasions, including when runner-up in the Group 3 Prix Vanteaux.

That particular effort saw her beaten by no less than five-time Group 1 winning star Mqse De Sevigne, the mare who defeated Via Sistina on her penultimate European start in the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet.

Know Thyself boasts a pedigree that will be familiar to southern hemisphere breeders, being out of the triple Group 2 winner Fix, the daughter of Irrraaj, who was also placed in the Group 1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas and Group 1 New Zealand Derby.

Attention

Another mare sure to attract plenty of attention is the Group 2 placed Sedaka. The lightly raced winning daughter of New Zealand’s nine-time champion sire Savabeel was second in the Group 2 Royal Stakes and Group 3 Sunline Vase at Te Rapa during her race career.

Consigned by Watership Down Stud, she is out of a winning half-sister to multiple listed winner and multiple group/listed placed Odean. She hails from the family of top-class Group 1 winning sprinters Brando and Reckless Abandon, Group 1 winning two-year-old Crowded House and international Group 1 winners Beauty Eternal, Ticker Tape and Tribalist.

Three-year-old filly Crimson Coronet completes the set. She is by champion sire Zoustar out of Listed Chalice Stakes winner Crimson Rosette.

Entries are being taken up to next Friday, November 22nd.
