TWO weeks of sales at Newmarket kicks off on Monday with the one-day December Yearling Sale, an auction which can always be relied upon to throw up a few big prices. Eight yearlings made six-figure sums at last year’s sale, on a day when the average price was 35,000gns.

Monday’s renewal has 186 lots catalogued and it features several own or half-siblings to Group 1 winners, including the Sea The Stars own-sister to Group 1 Australian Cup winner Fifty Stars, and the Mizzen Mast own-brother to Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) and Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Flotilla.

They are joined by the Tamayuz half-brother to Group 1 Prix Jean Prat winner Laws Of Indices, the Mastercraftsman half-brother to Group 1 Flying Five winner Romantic Proposal and half-sisters to the Group 1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) winner Well Timed and Group 1 Sydney Cup winner Selino, by Magna Grecia and Sea The Moon respectively.

In total there are own or half-brothers and sisters to 41 group and listed winners catalogued, and 30 yearlings out of group- and listed-winning dams. Highlights include the regally bred daughter of Dubawi and 1000 Guineas winner Miss France and a colt by Time Test out of dual Grade 1 winner and multiple group race and listed producer Jostle.

Last year’s leading consignor Shadwell Estates will again offer a high quality consignment of eight yearlings led by the Dubawi colt out of Group 2 Rockfel Stakes runner up Fadhayyil, already the dam of Group 2 winner Turaath, and well-bred fillies by Dark Angel, Frankel, Kingman, Lope De Vega, Sea The Stars and Siyouni.

Buyers looking for future winners of valuable Tattersalls bonuses and sponsored races will not be short of choice with 16 yearlings eligible for the lucrative £20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus Scheme and a further 29 yearlings eligible for the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, alongside one yearling eligible for the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Stakes.

The catalogue also features 43 fillies already entered for the Great British Bonus and one lot qualified for French Owners’ Premiums.

Among the first-crop sires represented are Advertise, Blue Point, Eqtidaar, Magna Grecia, Masar, Phoenix Of Spain, Study Of Man, Ten Sovereigns and Too Darn Hot.
