    • Dumb comment…one of the better CE’s in the game here
    • by Renee Geelen/The Thoroughbred Report David Ellis smashed the record for the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale, purchasing lot 174, an I Am Invincible (Aus) colt from dual Group 1 winner Shillelagh (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}) for NZ$1.65 million. The previous highest price at the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale was NZ$825,000 for Megastar Heart (Aus) (Star Turn {Aus}) who won a listed race last season at two. “I've been buying at this sale for a lifetime and that's the most impressive colt I've seen at this sale,” said Ellis. “He's just as nice a colt as you'd ever see. The staff have all seen him and are excited to have him in the stable. He'll sell very quickly, the interest in him is already strong.” The colt was catalogued as a yearling by Segenhoe Stud but didn't sell, being withdrawn from Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and passed at Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. He was offered in the Kiltannon Stables draft. “He'll go to Te Akau Stud tomorrow and we'll give him a short spell, then we'll race him,” he added. “We trained Shillelagh at two and three, and then she went to Chris Waller. She's an attractive looking Savabeel mare, and colt like this, well, if they race like they ought to, like they've shown so far, then they are worth serious money. “This is an exciting colt and I can't wait to have him in the stable.” The colt breezed in an impressive :9.97s which was the fastest time recorded in the catalogue. Shillelagh won her first three races in succession at three and four, then moved to Australia as a spring 5-year-old where she went on to win the G1 Cantala S. and G1 Empire Rose S. retiring with eight wins and over A$1.8 million in prize-money. Her first foal is Group 3-placed winner 4-year-old mare Irish Legacy (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) while her second foal, 3-year-old filly Kilkenny (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}), debuted on Wednesday for Chris Waller. Shillelagh is a full sister to Group 2 winner Tullamore (NZ) and listed winner Grazia (NZ). On the first day, David Ellis purchased five lots for a total of NZ$2.39 million.

    • Jockey Tyler Gaffalione, unseated in the third race at Churchill Downs Nov. 16, "feels really beat up" from his fall but escaped serious injury, agent Matt Muzikar said. He is off his Nov. 17 mounts and will resume riding next week.View the full article
    • The Wednesday session of the Goffs November Foal Sale is quickly living up to its lofty billing as, just over an hour into the action at Kildare Paddocks, a Sea The Stars (Ire) colt consigned by Baroda Stud was knocked down to Godolphin for €1,000,000.  The colt boasts a glittering pedigree being a full-brother to Teona (Ire). Trained by Roger Varian, Teona won the G1 Qatar Prix Vermeille before lighting up the Tattersalls December Mares Sale last year when knocked down to Juddmonte for 4.5 million gns. It was Juddmonte who put up the most resistance to Godolphin and filled the role as underbidder to Anthony Stroud, who secured the millionaire lot on behalf of Godolphin.   Stroud commented, “He is a very nice individual [who] walked very well. [He has] a lot of presence and a lot of body. He is by Sea The Stars who is a Derby winner and he is out of a Group 1 winner who has produced a Group 1 winner. All of the stars aligned. He has a wonderful temperament. We looked at him on many occasions and saw him in the pre parade ring and he was very relaxed. The pedigree and the conformation matched together. I think, from that point of view, he's a horse who will compliment our homebreds. It looks very competitive. Prices are good and people are getting well paid if they have a nice horse.” The post Goffs Off To A Flyer As Godolphin Goes To 1 Million For Sea The Stars Colt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Hilarious shenanigans,  yet another G1 TA trained mare goes for silly money . You'd have to be seriously naive a fan boy of the all the fan boys or both to believe all these theatrics!
