ASCOT ALL SET FOR FIRST EUROPEAN BREEZE OF YEARTattersalls Ascot has catalogued 91 lots, down from 146 last year, for its annual Breeze-Up Sale, which starts at noon today. The reduction in numbers and the new £100,000 Royal Ascot bonus signals Tattersalls’ intention to provide buyers with a catalogue of better quality for Europe’s first breeze-up sale of the year.
The £100,000 bonus for any two-year-old sold at this sale who goes on to win at Royal Ascot is a new incentive. There are six two-year-old races at the Royal Meeting and a 76-day window after the sale, which means this sale is designed for owners and trainers to target the new bonus.
Among past graduates are last season’s Gr.1 British Champions Sprint winner Sands Of Mali (bought for £75,000) and Gr.1 Prix Morny winner The Wow Signal (£50,000), while last year’s edition

FIRST RUNNERS ARE WINNERS FOR BRAZEN BEAU AND CABLE BAYFreshman sires Brazen Beau and Cable Bay supplied their first winners yesterday at Musselburgh and Lingfield Park respectively.
BRAZEN BEAUReverse shuttler Brazen Beau, who was a Gr.2 winner as a juvenile and twice Gr.1-placed before going to win the Gr.1 Coolmore Classic Stakes and the Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap as a three-year-old, and then coming second in the Gr.1 King’s Stand Stakes, was represented by the Bryan Smart-trained Proper Beau, his first European runner, in the 5f novice at Musselburgh.
Smartly away, he was always in front rank with Alminoor (Kodiac), hard against the rail. The last of the seven runners off the bridle, he was niggled along at the furlong pole and found plenty to get up in the final half furlong and win by a neck, with the pair seven lengths clear of the third.
Bred by The Aston House Stud and a 34,000gns purchase from Book 3 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by his trainer, Proper Beau, who holds entries in the Weatherbys Super Sprint and the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes later in the year, is one of five winners out of the dual Listed-placed sprinter Olivia Grace (Pivotal).
The seven-year-old stallion, whose first Southern Hemisphere crop includes the Listed winner Accession and the Gr.2 Silver Slipper Stakes runner-up Tassort, is a son of I Am Invincible and the Gr.3 Black Opal Stakes third Sansadee (Snaadee).
He stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Dalham Hall Stud, where his advertised fee is £7,000.
CABLE BAYFifteen minutes after Brazen Beau got off the mark, the Gr.2 Challenge Stakes winner Cable Bay was off the mark when his daughter Electric Ladyland made a successful winning debut in the 5f novice median auction on the all-weather at Lingfield Park.
Bred by Rathasker Stud, Electric Ladyland, who races for Emily Asprey and Chris Wright and is trained by Archie Watson, was drawn widest of the nine runners, but clearly knew her job. Having broken well, she grabbed the lead and was never headed, only having to be ridden along over a furlong out before going on to defeat the previously raced Birkenhead (Captain Gerrard) by two lengths.
Bought from the Goffs Sportsman’s Sale for €35,000 by Blandford Bloodstock, she is the third foal and winner out of the dual-winning Thousand Words mare Conversational. Her previous runners are the Listed Rochestown Stakes winner Simmy’s Copshop (Bahamian Bounty) and the juvenile winner Thegreatestshowman (Equiano). Conversational is a half-sister to the Listed European Free Handicap winner Kamakiri (Trans Land) and the dual Gr.3-placed Road To Love (Fruits Of Love).
Cable Bay, an Invincible Spirit half-brother to last weekend’s Australian Gr.3 winner Mister Sea Wolf, out of the Diktat mare Rose De France, won at the second time of asking as a juvenile

DEEP IMPACT RESTED FROM DUTIESShadai Stud has announced that Deep Impact has stopped covering for the rest of the 2019 breeding season due to neck pain. He is projected to have a foal crop next year of around 20.
The 17-year-old son of Sunday Silence, whose fee was advertised for this year at ¥40m, has been the champion sire by progeny every year since 2012 and has sired 39 Gr.1 winners in his career thus far. Since his first crop hit the track in 2010, he has been champion sire of two-year-olds every year, bar 2015 when beaten to the title by Daiwa Major.
The sire of 2012 Gr.1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner Beauty Parlour, last year Deep Impact supplied the winners of the Gr.1 2,000 Guineas and the Gr.1 Prix du Jockey Club in Saxon Warrior and Study Of Man respectively.
While none of his three-year-old crop hold entries in either of the Newmarket-staged Classics, his sole French Classic entrant is the unraced Muette, a homebred of the Wertheimer brothers, who holds entries in both the Pouliches and Gr.1 Prix de Diane. She is a daughter of the winning Peintre Celebre mare Blarney Stone, a half-sister to Beauty Parlour, who was bought for €575,000 from the 2014 Arqana Breeding Stock Sale.
This weekend, in the first Japanese Classic of the season, the Gr.1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1,000 Guineas), he could be represented by up to six runners. Headlining his entries is last season’s Gr.1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies’ winner Danon Fantasy, who was
and was placed in four Group events, including when second to War Command in the Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes. Runner-up in Gr.2 company during a four-race three-year-old season, he won the Gr.3 John of Gaunt Stakes in the May of his four-year-old season, before finishing his career with a Gr.2 win at Newmarket.
Based at Highclere Stud, he stands at £6,500 in 2019.

crowned Champion Juvenile Filly after her win and victorious in last month’s Gr.2 Tulip Sho, where Noble Score and Schon Glanz were third and fifth respectively. His other three entrants are last season’s Gr.3 Saudi Arabia Royal Cup winner Gran Alegria, who was then third on her last start against colts in the Gr.1 Futurity Stakes in December, Loves Only You, unbeaten in her two starts, including last time out in a minor Stakes race, and the Anemone Stakes runner-up Red Aster.
NATIONAL HUNT RACING REVIEWFRANCE
JOURNALISTE VICTORY FOR EQUEMAUVILLEWinner of the Listed Prix Roger Saint over 3800m at Compiegne last November, the supplemented Equemauville (Saint Des Saints) gained a maiden Graded win at the track yesterday in the Gr.3 Prix Journaliste.
Much of the pre-race focus was on Raffles Sun (Poliglote). A winner of her sole chase start at Clairefontaine last July, she had taken the Gr.3 Prix Juigne over hurdles at Auteuil last month. While doubts surrounded her ability to see out the 4100m trip, the furthest she would have tackled, she failed to get no further than the fifth, having been ponderous over the first few obstacles.

The mares’ bumper that concluded the action at Uttoxeter on Saturday witnessed a couple of interesting debutantes and the pair filled first and second. The winner, Wynn House, showed signs of greenness at various stages in the final half mile, but kept finding under a hands and heels ride from Wayne Hutchinson to take the lead in the final furlong from The Milan Girl (Milan), who was another to learn on the job.
The winning daughter of Presenting is bred to be a smart sort, being out of Glorious Twelfth (Old Vic), a bumper and hurdles-winning daughter of Francois Doumen’s dual Gr.2-winning juvenile hurdler Bilboa (Phantom Breeze).

One further two-year-old has been added to the existing 72 juveniles for the breeze-up section, which will follow the older horses. She is a Will Take Charge half-sister to Gr.3 winner Big Trouble and two Stakes-placed winners, and will be consigned by Wavertree Stables.

BHA APPOINT FORMER OLYMPIAN AS NEW CHAIRThe British Horseracing Authority (BHA) yesterday announced Annamarie Phelps as its new chair. The vice-chair of the British Olympic Committee and former Olympic rower will take up her post on 1st June. Atholl Duncan will continue as BHA chairman until Phelps takes up the post.
Phelps competed for Britain at the Atlanta Games in 1996 in the women’s eight and was a world champion in 1993. Since then she has worked for a variety of governing bodies dealing with complex political and regulatory issues and was the chair of
The winner, a graduate of the 2015 Arqana Autumn Sale, was waited with in midfield as Miss Salsa Blue (Blue Bresil) and then the 2014 victor My Maj (Majorien) made the pace. The winner took closer order on the run for home and, having jumped to the front at the second last, found plenty under Angelo Zuliani to score a two and a half length win. Equation (Network) ran on for second, three lengths ahead of Buck’s Bank, a Trempolino half-brother to Big Buck’s and Buck’s Boum.
The winning five-year-old, who hails from the yard of Francois Nicolle, has now won three, all chases, of his 15 starts, and had been a head runner-up in a conditions hurdle at the course in the middle of last month.
Bred by Haras de la Croix Sonnet, Sandra Hosselet and Hubert Hosselet, the AQPS-bred which is owned by Ecurie Sagara, is a son of the high-class AQPS runner Miss Academy (Video Rock), winner of the prestigious Prix Jacques de Vienne when trained by Jehan Bertran de Balanda. Moved to Martin Pipe under the ownership of David Johnson, she won a pair of juvenile hurdles and was fourth in the inaugural Listed (then) Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the 2005 Cheltenham Festival.
Equemauville is the best of five winners out of his dam, who is a half-sister to the Listed Prix Durtain third Mister No (Graveron) and the dam of the Listed Prix Finot (Pouliches) runner-up Miss Sarenne.

now with the James Given. The four-year-old ran beyond his mark of 96 and could be an improver.
The Borderlescott conditions race for older horses over 5f at Musselburgh on good to firm ground was a very fair contest, with six-year-old El Astronaute (Approve), first and second at Listed level on his final two starts last year and with a habit of running well when fresh, as the worthy favourite. The gallop was strong and he looked like landing the prize after being up there almost all the way, but he was mugged on the line carrying a four-pound penalty by one of Paul Midgely’s quartet in the field of eight, Tanasoq (Acclamation), another six-year-old who came from the rear and overcame trouble in running to get up by a head. It was probably his best ever performance off a mark of 96, as he was not well in, and he would be competitive in a Listed race. Tarboosh (Bahamian Bounty) was best in at the weights and looked the likely winner a furlong or so out, but he got a bit tired.

British Rowing until last year. She chaired the independent review into British Cycling in 2017.
She commented on her appointment: “I relish the opportunity to work in British racing. Everything I’ve seen and heard tells me that racing people are passionate about their sport, proud of its magnificent heritage and unified by a love of horses.
“I am looking forward to working with new colleagues at the BHA and across the sport. My priority is to help with the immediate challenges we face, but I am excited by the opportunities for racing to grow and flourish in the years ahead.
“I believe that collaboration is the key to success and am privileged to be given a chance to play my part.”
The Chair of the Nominations Committee and the BHA’s Senior Independent Director, Andrew Merriam, said: “I’m delighted that we are able to appoint a candidate of such high calibre. Annamarie has demonstrated impressive leadership skills and an astute grasp of the issues facing major sports, including their engagement with government. She will bring a challenging and independent perspective to the BHA’s work and be a powerful advocate for horse racing.”
RACING ROUND-UPCONDITIONS REVIEW
AUXERRE IS A POTENTIAL GROUP PERFORMER IN WAITINGThe Lincoln Handicap is not a conditions race, of course, but it can be won by a future Group performer, as it was last year by Addeybb (Pivotal), who went on to win the Gr.2 Sandown Mile, often not the strongest for the grade, and this year’s winner last Saturday, Auxerre (Iffraaj), a four-year-old who went to four from five after making pretty much all off a rating of 100, could well tread the same path. With the ground being good at Doncaster, it perhaps gives him a better chance than most of carrying on improving through the summer, as opposed to those who have won on soft, as is often the case.
Two races for this column were run at Doncaster the following day. The three-year-old novice stakes over 7f was another early win for a King Power horse, Fox Champion (Kodiac), who had won his second and last start on polytrack last season to start repaying a 420,000-guinea price tag as a breeze-up graduate. He was another to make all as well, a little keen, but never in danger of defeat, although the winning margin was half a length from a John Gosden rival to whom he was giving seven pounds. He holds no fancy entries, but he will be stepping up to better races before long and he looks to have the necessary scope for improvement.
Six came to post for a classy conditions race over 12f later in the afternoon. Six-year-old Red Verdon (Lemon Drop Kid) won his first start last year and then came second four times at Gr.2 and Gr.3 level in Europe before going to Australia and Hong Kong. He started to think of other things while out there and paid for his ambitions by being gelded, but he won this fairly smoothly after sitting in the box seat, as he was entitled to do on the ratings. He holds an entry in the Gr.3 Vintage Crop Stakes at the end of this month, though Ryan Moore opined that he should stay at 12f for now. One should keep an eye on the second, the lightly-raced Indianapolis (Galileo), bought out of Ballydoyle last autumn and

AUSTRALIARACING AND BREEDING NEWS FROM
THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES
HEAVY GROUND EXPECTED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPSIt was the final day of the Rosehill Golden Slipper Carnival and gun rider James McDonald walked off the course no doubt pleased with his day’s work. The Kiwi rode both Gr.1 winners, followed that up with a Gr.2 winner and looked sure to ride four in a row before the Irish-bred Zourkhan (Shamardal) faded on his run to come up a neck short in the last.
One point of note, it looks like the Sydney Autumn curse is back again. While the rest of the country is in a severe drought, we have had heavy tracks three weeks in succession at Rosehill. With rain falling yesterday and forecast again for Thursday and Friday, the first day of The Championships at Randwick looks likely to revert to type after 2018 saw the first year in many we had good ground to race on.
H E TANCRED STAKESAvilius (Pivotal) was on the seven-day back-up from his comprehensive Gr.1 Ranvet Rawson Stakes win over 2000m, but he showed no ill-effects and was incredibly impressive in putting a stronger field to the sword in the 2400m Gr.1 H E Tancred Stakes. Things looked ominous for his 11 rivals 600m out as McDonald allowed him to stride up five wide and when he let him down 300m out, the response was instantaneous and electric. He put four lengths on them in the matter of a few strides with his rider having the luxury of letting him to idle late, allowing Irish-bred Big Duke (Raven’s Pass) to eat the margin down to two and a quarter lengths.
The immediate question after the race was might Avilius prove a worthy adversary for Winx in her swansong in the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes on 13th April? James Cummings suggested not and that was confirmed when Avilius was sent to the spelling paddock on Monday. Spring riches like the Gr.1 W S Cox Plate await and will be so much easier to snaffle on the assumption Winx will be in the breeding paddocks by then.
VINERY STORM QUEEN STAKESThe expectation is Chris Waller will not have Winx next season, but he will have yet another very good filly in the stables. Verry Elleegant, yes that is the way it is spelt, keeps winning on pure class alone, as she appears desperate to do everything wrong in her races. A daughter of the very underrated New Zealand stallion Zed (Zabeel), she is gangly and wants to wobble about all over the straight, but has now gone back to back in the Gr.2 Phar Lap Stakes over 1500m and the Vinery over 2000m, both with plenty in hand. Once she learns to race she is going to be some horse.
The Vinery is a traditional lead up to the Gr.1 ATC Australian Oaks on 13th April and Verry Elleegant will start a short-priced favourite given all of her main rivals have finished behind her recently. One chink in her armour might be the distance, as she pulled too hard in the VRC Oaks in the Spring running seventh when trained by Darren Weir, but on Saturday’s run she would almost have to choke down to give her rivals a chance.
One filly that lost nothing in defeat was runner up Frankly Awesome (Frankel) from the Kris Lees yard. She finished a length and three quarters behind the winner and is very much an improving type. She will back up on Saturday and run in the Gr.1 ATC Australian Derby.

WRONG HORSE ALLOWED TO RACEAustralians are often the first to point the accusatory finger when an identity mix up is detected on a foreign racecourse, but we can always trust the Queenslanders to provide us with a dose of our own fallibility.
At Thursday’s meeting at Rockhampton, Julieann Lancaster, the trainer of Authadane (Authorized) in race six and Plain ‘N’ Simple (Casino Prince) in race 7, got the races mixed up and saddled Plain ‘N’ Simple for race 6. There are procedures in place to account for such human error, remembering that besides the obligatory microchip which is supposed to be read as the horse enters the mounting yard, Australia still freeze brands horses just after birth and most tracks, I thought all, have officials checking said brands on entering the ring.
Somehow Plain ‘N’ Simple went unnoticed through security, started in the race at 100/1, (he’d have been much shorter if punters knew his real identity) and ran sixth. After the race the identity switch was brought to the attention of the stewards, who disqualified the horse and scratched Plain ‘N’ Simple from the following race. A penalty for Lancaster has yet to be announced but whatever it is the officials should receive double.
Queensland was the scene for the most famous identity issue in Australian racing, the 1984 Fine Cotton affair. Rumours abounded that things were not completely straight in the Sunshine State even before a nationwide gamble of 33/1 into 6/4 on the “rung in” Bold Personality running under the name of Fine Cotton, was landed. Fortunately, the stewards wised up that something was not right between the end of the race and declaring “correct weight”. That was nearly 20 years before microchipping so the officials then had some excuse but there can be no defence in 2019.
DUBAI WORLD CUP NIGHTIt may have been the middle of the night, but plenty of Australian TV’s flickered to life on Saturday night/Sunday morning to watch Viddora (I Am Invincible), Brave Smash (Tosen Phantom) and Illustrious Lad (I Am Invincible) not even get close to Blue Point (Shamardal), which is about right. Fair play to connections for having a go, but they would be flat out winning the Gr.1 T J Smith Stakes next Saturday against Trapeze Artist (Snitzel) and co, so an overseas jaunt looked a good alternative.
However, in a desperate attempt to snatch any straw of comfort from the meeting, we will claim Thunder Snow as one of ours, given he is a son of the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas winner Helmet and that despite the fact Helmet proved so unpopular with breeders down here that he was not sent back to cover the 2018 season. Just for good measure we’ll claim runner-up Gronkowski, as well seeing as he is a son of Lonhro.
Helmet got a bad rap with the locals. He was a handful in the barriers as a two-year-old, but had the class to win both the Gr.1 AJC Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Gr.1 Champagne Stakes. He came back as a three-year-year-old and put up a bold display of front running to win that Caulfield Guineas and then was a rarity for the time, a three-year-old that took on the Gr.1 W S Cox Plate, albeit unsuccessfully.
The question with Thunder Snow is do Darley gamble on bringing him to Australia as a shuttle stallion? He’s a world class horse no doubt, but he’s a son of a stallion quickly dismissed, his best wins would have been seen on the dirt of Meydan (one would have to be real enthusiast to find the Gr.1 Prix Jean Prat on television here), and the other time he was on our radar was his abortive Gr.1 Kentucky Derby assault where most watching down here rolled our eyes and blamed his sire. It would be a shame if he did not get a chance in Australia because the tenacity he showed in winning on Saturday is a commodity the breed could do with.
One horse we will be very happy to see at Darley’s Kelvinside property is Blue Point. At his best he would be more than competitive with our elite sprinters and if we can get some more of that Shamardal blood down here, all the better.
JARROD MCLEAN REQUEST DENIEDJarrod McLean, one-time stable foreman for the now disgraced Darren Weir and a licensee in his own right, has had a request to take over Weir’s former stables at Warrnambool on the Victorian coast denied.
You may remember Weir was charged with a number of offences, the most heinous being the possession of a ”jigger”, an electrical device to enhance performance. McLean faces charges from the fallout, but whereas Weir pleaded no contest, McLean intends to fight to clear his name. In the meantime, Racing Victoria found that until those charges are heard, allowing McLean to take over the stables would be prejudicial to the image of the sport.
As a result, the stables are likely to be leased by Perth trainer Lyndsey Smith who will use it as a satellite stable.
FEE RISE FOR SLIPPER SIREWe mentioned last week how the owners of Telemon Thoroughbreds hit the jackpot when Kiamichi led all the way in the Gr.1 Golden Slipper. Queensland-based Telemon took a two-year lease over Kiamichi’s sire Sidestep from Darley and in the days after the Slipper were flooded with enquiries about a service fee for 2019. Telemon and Darley have moved quickly to advise the market that Sidestep will stand at a fee of A$22,000, which includes the local Goods and Services Tax. While that is a 100 per cent increase on last year, it does not seem an unreasonable fee to get to a Slipper-winning sire.

HOUTZEN IN ENGLANDThe build up to Royal Ascot has started already down under with reports filtering through that Houtzen (I Am Invincible) has settled in well at Jane Chapple-Hyam’s stable. Trained by Toby Edmonds on the Gold Coast, the four-year-old has won seven of her 18 starts, including the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, but is yet to crack it for a Gr.1. She’ll have Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle when she tries to rectify that in the Gr.1 King’s Stand Stakes.
SATURDAYTHE CHAMPIONSHIPS – DAY ONEThe self-styled “Grand finals of Australian racing” get underway on Saturday at Randwick with four Gr.1 events. It is difficult to say which will be the number one race for the day, the Doncaster Mile, a handicap, is the richest at A$3m, the T J Smith for the sprinters carries A$2.5m, but in a sign where it ranks in the industry, the blue riband, the ATC Australian Derby only warrants third billing at A$2m. The fields and barriers were released yesterday.
DONCASTER MILERenamed the Doncaster Mile a few years back, it remains the Doncaster Handicap to most and has attracted a full field of 20, with four emergency acceptors. It is 5/1 the field with Alizee (Sepoy) heading the market to give Godolphin yet another Gr.1 win this Autumn. One theory is she might be suspect in a truly run mile, her last start fading third in the All-Star Mile offered as evidence, and early on she was being challenged for favouritism by Fifty Stars (Sea The Stars) and the very lightly raced Brutal (O’Reilly), until they drew wide in gates 24 and 21 respectively.
One interesting runner is the Japanese-trained Kluger (King Kamehameha) from the Tomokazu Tokano stable. He will go to the gates on Saturday without a run since early January, but he has had the use of Canterbury racecourse as a quarantine area and training facility since arriving in Sydney.
subjected to in the coming days. Showers are forecast, which won’t help last year’s winner.
In a star-studded field glamour filly Sunlight (Zoustar), Shoals (Fastnet Rock), Redzel (Snitzel) and Santa Ana Lane (Lope De Vega) must all have chances, while Pierata (Pierro) seeks that elusive Gr.1 win to seal a deal at stud.
AUSTRALIAN DERBYWith The Autumn Sun (Redoute’s Choice) having headed to the spelling paddock, the Gr.1 Derby field is a little underwhelming and most of the strongest form lines go back to Melbourne racing, or at least Melbourne-trained horses.
Current favourite is the Mike Moroney-trained Chapada, undoubtedly the best horse Bullet Train has sired down here, his third in the Spring equivalent, the Gr.1 Victoria Derby, a sure sign he will get the trip. His last start Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas third to The Autumn Sun suggests Moroney has timed his preparation perfectly.
Melbourne-based Moroney will also saddle-up equal second favourite Arrogant (Ocean Park), who finished ahead of Chapada when running The Autumn Sun to a head in the Guineas, while the other equal favourite also hails from the southern capital, Global Exchange (Dundeel) from the Cieron Maher/David Eustace yard having won three straight, including the Gr.2 Alister Clark Stakes last start.
And beware the Kiwi raider The Chosen One (Savabeel) backing up from his Gr.3 Manawatu Classic win last Saturday, although luck deserted him at the barrier draw and Blake Shinn can expect to cover plenty of territory.
ATC SIRES PRODUCE STAKESThe second leg of the juvenile “Triple Crown”, the 1400m Sires’ is a wide open affair with four horses Castelvecchio (Dundeel), Microphone (Exceed And Excel), Bellevue Hill (Pierro) and the filly Loving Gaby (I Am Invincible) all 6/1 shots. Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi (Sidestep) is one of three Godolphin runners for James Cummings and is currently at 8/1 to complete the double stepping up a furlong.
Irish-bred Fifty Stars (Sea The Stars) will go in search of a maiden Gr.1 in Saturday’s Doncaster Mile.
T J SMITH STAKESThe Autumn’s premier weight-for-age sprint has drawn the best we have with Trapeze Artist (Snitzel) and Osborne Bulls (Street Cry) sharing favouritism. Osborne Bulls is the rising star of the speed brigade, while the chances of the proven Trapeze Artist will hinge on how much rain the Randwick surface is
Trapeze Artist (Snitzel) will bid to land back-to-back victories in Saturday’s Gr.1 T J Smith Stakes at Randwick.

O'Rourke looking to the future
Among the larger consignments at today’s Tattersalls Ascot Breeze-Up are a pair of lots offered by Pamela O’Rourke, a relative newcomer to the breeze-up circuit as a consigner.
O’Rourke made her debut consigning under her own name at this sale last year, selling a Dawn Approach filly for £18,500, before following up with successful sales at both Goffs UK and the Tattersalls Guineas breeze-ups, and is now looking forward to her second year of offering lots under her own name.
O’Rourke has a strong pedigree for the sales; her parents, Pat and Phyllis, run Belmont Stud in Co. Wexford, home to a 22-strong broodmare band. The stud has enjoyed plenty of success over the years with its homebreds, topped last year by True Valour (Kodiac), who landed the Gr.3 Ballycorus Stakes and followed up this year in the Gr.3 Thunder Road Stakes at Santa Anita in February.
As well as Pamela, the couple are assisted by their other children Katherine and Jimmy, with the latter riding the point-to-pointers trained by O’Rourke Senior, who holds a permit to train both under Rules and between the flags. Another son, Edward, is successfully training in Australia, based at Randwick.
This close-knit family business means that Pamela can call on her siblings for an extra hand when it comes to riding out, as well as assistance from her boyfriend Ryan Conran, who has plenty of breeze-up experience with Bansha House and Knockanglass. Conran also has a few breeze-up prospects of his own, including Lot 89 today, a colt by Cable Bay from a smart family, consigned by Shanaville Strables.
Although the family business and her own breeze-up horses keep her busy enough, O’Rourke also works for Tally-Ho Stud at the yearling and breeze-up sales when she is not consigning her own horses. Possibly the highlight of this was when she led up Fairyland (Kodiac) for the farm when she made 925,000gns during Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
First into the ring today for O’Rourke will be Lot 8, a homebred son of the Classic-winning first season sire Make Believe out of the Invincible Spirit mare Stylish One. Already the dam of two winners, including the multiple scorer Canny Style (Canford Cliffs), the mare’s yearling colt by Dawn Approach was purchased for 50,000gns by Amanda Skiffington at last year’s Tattersalls December Foal Sale.
“He does look like his sire, but he is also very like his mother; Dad and I were arguing the other day about which he looks more like!” O’Rourke says. “The mother is very fast-looking but with plenty of scope and she is a great walker as well.

“The colt has got some attitude and I would be very positive about Make Believe as a sire as this one really wants to get on with the job. There have been no issues with him, he’s got a great set of limbs on him and he’s always been sound. He’s got plenty of speed too, he feels very fast and he’s early too.
“We got 50,000gns for his Dawn Approach half-brother at the foal sale and he was absolutely beautiful as well. The dam is in foal to Cotai Glory and is due to foal in the next ten days, so I am hoping this lad will get out early and do a job as well.”
O’Rourke’s other lot today is Lot 27, an Excelebration colt out of the winning Invincible Spirit mare Boga, dam of a winner in Sweden by Footstepsinthesand and a half-sister to the prolific winner and Listed-placed Clean Bowled (Footstepsinthesand).
“He is a similar type to the Make Believe in that he’s very forward and fast, although he is a month younger. I would be very surprised if these two don’t run early,” O’Rourke explains. “I’d expect both of them to rock on early after the sale. I’ve had no hassle with them, from the day I broke them they’ve been very easy.”
That both colts are out of Invincible Spirit mares is coincidence but does tie in with O’Rourke’s theory on the pedigree necessary for an attractive breeze-up prospect.
“I like to see that the dam has won and that she is by a speedy sire, like Invincible Spirit. If she won at two, that’s even better. If she has produced runners, I like to see a bit of consistency; if she has two winners from two runners or something, that’s great, but I don’t like to see one winner from five runners. If a page is dire, you can’t work with it, but we all know that a dam can go a bit quiet and then rejuvenate and suddenly the horse you’ve got could be another shining light on the page.
“Physically, they have to be forward-looking – we’ve had some homebreds we wouldn’t dream of breezing – and of course they have to be correct. They don’t necessarily have to be early but plenty of strength is the main thing, as well as being athletic,” O’Rourke says.
“I think there is a bit of a fad at the breeze-ups that they all have to be fast, early two-year-olds; originally there was never a clock at the breezes and you had lovely big horses that were just skipping along over two furlongs. But you can see from the results that the breeze-up sales consistently produced winners throughout the year. It’s similar to buying a yearling – as long as they are strong, correct and athletic, you can work from there.”
Following the conclusion of today’s sale, O’Rourke’s attention will turn to prepping three lots for the Tattersalls Guineas breeze-up on 3rd May in Newmarket. These include a Dream Ahead colt out of a half-sister to the Gr.2 winner Surya (Unbridled).
“He didn’t sell as foal because Dream Ahead was quite unpopular at the time but that has changed now and he has shown a lot at home, a lot of ability,” O’Rourke enthuses.
“I also have a lovely Zebedee filly for Mark Gavin. She is out of Morethanafeeling who is a winning Verglas mare, and we sold her Kodiac two-year-old for £48,000 at last year’s Goffs UK Breeze-Up Sale. This filly gives a great feel and has a good attitude too, so I think she’ll go well. They’re all later horses but they are ones to look forward to.”
Lot 27 is an April-born son of Excelebration, from the family of the Listed-placed Clean Bowled (Footstepsinthesand).
