Outstanding calibre of Gelding pedigrees at the Derby Sale
Tattersalls Ireland's Derby Sale strength is illustrated not just by the success of its graduates but also the calibre of pedigrees it attracts. Eight geldings catalogued in the Derby Sale are out of Black Type winning mares.
A rare offering is Lot 22 a gelding by Kendargent and the only horse by Haras de Colleville's outstanding sire catalogued in the Derby Sale. His dam is the Group 2 May Hill Stakes winner Karasta, who was runner-up in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac. Selling through Oaks Farm Stables, this gelding is a half-brother to four winning hurdlers including the Listed winner Karasenir.
Mill House Stud, agent for Lot 35, a son of top-class sire Martaline out of Knock Down, successful in the Grade 3 Prix La Perichole chase at Auteuil for Robert Collet, and who has already produced three winners.
Stowaway is the sire of the first foal out of the winning juvenile hurdler Maca Rince, who will be sold as Lot 74. The gelding is consigned by Michael Mulligan and his Grade 3 winning dam hails from the family of Group 1 flat stars Relkino and Timarida.
A trio of first foals out of high-class race mares is headed by Lot 209 out of the multiple winner Shop DJ. Successful in the Grade 3 ITBA Mares' Hurdle at Punchestown, she was also second in the Grade 1 Champion Novice Chase.
