Camacho filly tops the September Yearling Sale Part II

A
Camacho filly (Lot 576) sold by Nicola
Kent from the Kent family’s long nurtured pedigree of the 1,000 Guineas winner
Pass The Peace topped the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale Part II when
selling to Luke Lillingston for €32,000.

“She
has been bought for Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds,” said Lillingston.
“She is a lovely filly with size, substance and a good walk. “I
have always been a fan of Camacho and he has really come of age this year. The
Kent family has had this pedigree since the 1980s with Pass The Peace and
Nicola is a great producer of a horse.”

The
popularity of this year’s leading first-season sire No Nay Never continues
apace and his filly out of the Kyllachy mare Surrey Pink (Lot 641) was bought by
Joe Foley for €30,000.

“She
is a great example of the sire, who is doing very well. We know the family and
she is for Clipper,” said Foley of the Glenard Stables-consigned filly.

The
March-born filly is from the family of the Group 1 sprinter Dream Ahead, the
Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) runner-up Princess Noor and the Listed-winning
juvenile Fairyland.The
most expensive colt of the day was the son of Epaulette (Lot 624) sold by
Mocklershill Stables to Watree Stud for €25,000. He is out of Social Set, a Key
Of Luck full-sister to the dam of the multiple Group 1-winning sprinter Society
Rock.

Through
the one-day sale 172 horses sold for a gross of €1,241,300, a median of €5,000
and an average price of €7,217.

“Today’s
trade was not forgiving. Reflecting the polarised nature of the market the
trend remains that there is demand for individuals that satisfy strict
criteria.  Unfortunately, for breeders in particular, limited demand
exists at the lower levels,” said Matt Mitchell, CEO of Tattersalls
Ireland.
