Fastnet Rock’s Cristalino Bought By Tally-Ho For 80k At Tattersalls Online

[Wandering Eyes]

The placed Cristalino (lot 18), a full-sister to two stakes winners, topped Wednesday's Tattersalls Online August Sale at 80,000gns when selling to Tally-Ho Stud.

Sold as a horse-in-training, the 3-year-old daughter of Fastnet Rock and the Galileo mare Stars At Night is a full to multiple group winner and G1 Jebel Hatta Stakes runner-up Poker Face, as well as the multiple stakes winner Star Devine, who was second in the GIII Intercontinental Stakes and third in the GIII Franklin Stakes. She was offered by Amo Racing, who bought the relation to three-time Group 1-winning Classic scorer Blue Bunting (Dynaformer) for 200,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2.

Amy Drummond, head of operations at Amo Racing, said, “The filly retained value to us with her pedigree but she wasn't quite what we hoped for on the track, so we're delighted that she's gone to Tally-Ho, who also stand the stallions Persian Force and King of Steel for us.”

The six-lot Gigginstown House Stud Annual Dispersal all found new homes. Best of the bunch on the buyers' sheet was Harsh (Dark Angel) (lot 35), who is rated 129. Dan Astbury and Mickey Bowen purchased the winning hurdler for 30,000gns.

Gigginstown House Stud's Eddie O'Leary said, “Following on from last year's success, we were delighted to support the Tattersalls Online August Sale again. The team do a fantastic job promoting the sale. They made it a seamless process and we look forward to using the platform again.”

Of the 135 lots offered, 80 sold (59%) for a gross of 774,400gns. The average was 5,500gns and the median was 9,680gns. There were a record number of bidders registered, 382 representing over 20 countries: France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Zambia and from across the Middle East.
