Lot 75, a Sea The Stars full-brother to the G1 British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes and G1 Coronation Cup heroine Emily Upjohn, and lot 76, a Sea The Stars full-brother to the G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks scorer Sea Of Class, both feature in the 24-strong draft from The Castlebridge Consignment. Another by Sea The Stars is Mount Coote Stud's half-sister to the G1 Prix d'Ispahan and G1 Prix du Moulin winner Dreamloper, who will go through the ring as lot 95.

Baroda Stud will offer lot 124, a Kingman half-brother to the G1 Matron Stakes scorer Pearls Galore (Invincible Spirit), and lot 196, a Cracksman half-sister to the G1 Melbourne Cup victor Cross Counter (Teofilo).

“The Tattersalls December Yearling Sale is a consistent source of top-class performers with 11-time Group 1 winner Via Sistina and Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup winner Big Mojo among the star graduates on the racecourse in 2025 for a sale that consistently punches above its weight,” said Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony.
