Tom Harris of Lordship Stud will never forget the day he first laid eyes on the Le Havre mare Ville De Grace, nor will he forget the sale of her first foal after the filly by Frankel went the way of Juddmonte for 1,500,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. A three-time winner for the Sir Michael Stoute stable, notably winning the G3 Pride Stakes, Ville De Grace is now based at Lordship Stud after being bought for 2,000,000gns at the 2022 Tattersalls December Mares Sale. Recounting the story of his first encounter with Ville De Grace, Harris said, “She was very expensive, but my father and I were coming from the Solario Yard, and she was down nearby with Jenny Norris. As we crossed the bridge, we saw this black filly just walking. She's a very pretty mare and we both looked at each other and said, 'Wow, what is that?' It was literally love at first sight. She's a fantastic-looking mare, an unbelievable mover, and she has had a beautiful first foal.” Lot 498 was consigned on behalf of Lordship Stud by Watership Down Stud, with Harris adding, “From day one, we thought she was a star, and she continued to develop in that way. We came up here, we were looking at fillies each day, and each evening we'd say to each other, 'Have you seen anything better?' And the answer was always no. It's so incredibly exciting to have one so good-looking as the first foal.” With only one lot still to go through the ring on Thursday, Frankel has had 18 yearlings sell for a total of 14,560,000gns and at an average of 808,889gns. Juddmonte's Simon Mockridge said of this third seven-figure lot for their home stallion, “We went in there with a figure in mind and we'd reached that limit, but the family were happy to have one more go. It's an outcross family, which is very important to Frankel. She's a beautiful filly, with a great action to her. Let's hope she's lucky.” The post ‘It Was Literally Love At First Sight’ – Frankel Filly Rewards Faith in Ville De Grace at 1.5m Gns appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The 2023 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner White Abarrio (Race Day) breezed a half-mile in company Thursday at Gulfstream Park in preparation for a planned start in the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Breezing outside of stablemate Practically Dark (Practical Joke), they covered four furlongs on a fast track :45.86, the fastest clocking of seven recorded at the distance. “Today was 24 days out, almost three weeks, so we wanted a strong work,” said trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. “He put in a strong work. He worked from the half, but it was almost a five-eighths breeze–strong half, finish up past the wire and gradually gallop out. A half in 45-and-change, [five furlongs] 58, out in 1:11. It was a good work.” Thursday's breeze was the 2025 GI Pegasus World Cup winner's third since returning to Gulfstream following an eventful trip in the 1 1/14-mile GI Jockey Club Gold Cup Aug. 31 at Saratoga. He breezed a half-mile in :46.56 Oct. 2 and three furlongs in a swift :33.73 Sept. 25. “I think we're going to go for two more works here,” Joseph said. “Then, we'll ship on the 23rd.” The post White Abarrio Breezes Ahead Of Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Night Of Thunder made it a fantastic four at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale on Thursday when a filly consigned by Barton Stud joined his three other millionaires already sold this week, with lot 494 being knocked down to Henry Lascelles for 1,100,000gns. Bred by Jeff and Phoebe Hobby of Brightwalton Stud, the Night Of Thunder filly is a half-sister to their G1 Prix de l'Abbaye heroine Makarova (Acclamation). Their dam, Vesnina (Sea The Stars), was a 68,000gns purchase at the 2015 Tattersalls July Sale. Ed Walker, who trained Makarova to win five of her 28 starts, was the underbidder on this filly, together with Ed Sackville and Simon Sadler of TBT Racing. “It is the first millionaire for us and a filly, too, which is cool,” said Jeff Hobby. “We have been very lucky. We have been helped by some great people to get here. Matt Coleman bought the mare for us, the Barton team, the Brightwalton team – they all work hard to get the job done. “It was a big decision to sell a filly, but we have a lot of fillies from the family and we have some nomination bills to pay and we need to sell some stock. We needed to have a shuffle around and I thought, if we were going to sell one, she would be a good one; we would be well paid and it would keep the wheels on the bus.” Lascelles revealed that the filly was bought on behalf of an existing client, adding, “We've bought three fillies so far and we waited for this filly today. She comes from a great farm. The market has been very strong this week, but we have managed to buy most of the fillies we have tried on.” Lot 494 was the first filly to change hands for a seven-figure sum at Book 1 this week. She is also one of 21 yearlings by Night Of Thunder to sell, for a total of 12,445,000gns and at an average of 592,619gns. They are headed by lot 275, Lynn Lodge Stud's colt out of Model Guest who sold to Amo Racing for 1,700,000gns on Wednesday.

Steve Venosa's SGV Thoroughbreds, a regular consignor on the 2-year-olds in training sales circuit, made its debut on the digital auction scene and came away with the sale-topper at the Fasig-Tipton October Digital Sale which closed Wednesday. Venosa and partners sold the broodmare Stifled Heiress (Munnings) (hip 242) for $470,000 to Bryant Prentice's Pursuit of Success, LLC. The 9-year-old mare, who sold in foal to Leinster, came into the virtual sales ring with a big update after her 3-year-old son Mad House (Vekoma) won the GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx three weeks ago. “The mare had a very big update a few weeks ago and Jesse [Ullery] from Fasig-Tipton reached out to me,” Venosa explained. “We discussed it and we came to a mutual agreement on where we felt the mare was going to fall price-wise and I felt comfortable with that. I really trust Fasig-Tipton and Jesse. They have a great team over there. And that's why we decided to put the mare in the sale.” Stifled Heiress remained at Venosa's farm in Ocala during the bidding and, while she didn't attract in-person visits, there was still plenty of interest ahead of sale time. “I did get several calls on her with people who had questions,” Venosa said. “The people who know me, they felt comfortable talking to me about it. There was more interest than I really thought there would be.” Stifled Heiress was originally purchased as a pinhooking prospect for $51,000 at the 2017 Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association Summer Yearling Sale. “We had bought her to put in a 2-year-old training sale,” Venosa said. “We brought her down to Gulfstream, but she had some radiographic issues and it was just one of those things where she did not make the races. So we went ahead and bred her. We wound up breeding her to Vekoma the first year and that turned out to be Mad House. And that's when everything came together with the mare.” Of the mare's sale-topping final price Wednesday, Venosa said, “She exceeded expectations. We were very, very happy with the outcome. Having a graded winner and being a young mare, it all made sense.” Mad House joins stakes winner Soontobeking (King for a Day) and his stakes-placed half-brother Black Volt (Cairo Prince) to come out of Venosa's broodmare band of “a handful of mares.” “Maybe I will get into the mare business instead of the 2-year-olds,” Venosa said with a chuckle, before admitting, “But I like going to see what they look like versus waiting 11 months and then they come out and their legs are on backwards.” The post Venosa Scores in Fasig-Tipton Digital Debut appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
