“The individual highlight of the 2023 Tattersalls February Sale was without doubt the 250,000 guineas BBA Ireland purchase of the very well-bred broodmare NOW OR NEVER, who is the third highest priced broodmare ever sold at the Tattersalls February Sale and the highest price at the sale since 2018, but the real feature of the past two days has been the international participation.

“Diverse overseas demand has always been the hallmark of the Tattersalls February Sale and other Tattersalls sales of this nature and the consignors have confidence that Newmarket’s unique appeal consistently produces an unrivalled marketplace. Even the relatively small February Sale consistently attracts an abundance of buyers from all over the world and we have sold horses to more than 20 different countries over the past two days.

"Widespread participation from throughout Europe has been matched by the customary strong contingent from throughout the Gulf region and buyers from India and North Africa have also made significant contributions to a solid renewal of the annual curtain - raiser at Park Paddocks.

"While the figures have not matched last year’s impressive returns, the turnover was the fourth-highest in the sale’s history, the clearance rate has again exceeded 80 per cent and the sustained demand for British and Irish bloodstock at all levels of the market has yet again very much been in evidence at the Tattersalls February Sale."

The gelding, previously trained by Richard Hughes, also in Lambourn, has had three runs over hurdles and finished second all three starts. He has been allotted a BHA hurdles mark of 114.

Bailey said: "This is a nice, scopey horse and Harry saw him yesterday. Brentford Hope has been a high-class performer on the Flat and has run well over hurdles so far, bumping into some decent performers and the form is looking good. He should progress over hurdles and he is for sale."

He is the best runner to date out of Miss Raven (Raven's Pass), a half-sister to the Middleton Stakes (G2) and Sandown Classic (G2) winner Beautiful Romance (New Approach). (16:09)

Of covering plans, he outlined: "She might be going to Bayside Boy."

"He has been bought to race in Saudi Arabia. I now have seven horses and I will own and train him. He’s an improving horse with good form. The programme is expanding in Saudi Arabia and it is thriving. The [racing] surface is very good, which is so important for the horses," said Abdullah Salman Al Sabah.

Owner Jon Thompson of the buying group said: "He wants bit of time, and he is going to be run in association with the new wine bar in the town, Gee Gee's Wine Bar. I think there is about 17 of us involved in this horse now, and he goes to John Ryan."

Bloodstock agent Jamie Piggott assisted with the purchase.

Bluff was bred by Nick Wood and is by The Gurkha. He won on his last start when successful at Chelmsford in January over 5f.

He is first foal out of Blodwyn (Medicean), whose dam Rotunda (Pivotal) is a half-sister to Spacious, winner of the Windsor Forest Stakes (G2) and a Group 1 runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas, the Falmouth Stakes and the Matron Stakes. (15:03)

The son of Harry Angel has run five times and finished placed twice and he is unlucky not to have a "1" by his name – he was beaten just a head in maiden at Doncaster at the end of the Flat season.

He is BHA rated 78 and is out of Heliograph (Ishiguru), a half-sister to Prolific (Compton Place), winner of the Richmond Stakes (G2), third in the July Stakes (G2) and the Norfolk Stakes (G2). (14:29)

When asked of plans for the Fastnet Rock filly, Tim Bostwick laughed: "We don't really have a plan as yet, we'd got used to not being able to buy anything! We have been trying to buy a mare since the autumn.

"This is a lovely filly, she will let down into a beautiful broodmare, she has a fantastic back page and, if anything, we are possibly thinking of sending her to Palace Pier.

"It looks like an active page, and hopefully in 12 months' time we will have a lovely foal."

"She is a roomy mare, she is nice and wide, and is good walker," added Gill Bostwick. "She will come back to us in Wiltshire, we have the empty mares at home with us and the pregnant mares foal down at Barton Stud."

The purchase takes the Biddestone broodmare band to 15 and the stud's first foal of 2023 is due any minute – a Starspangledbanner filly who is a three-quarters sister to Millisle.

Rosa Del Rio is out of the black-type mare Hibiscus (Galileo), whose 2021 foal, a colt by Siyouni, was sold to Hong Kong Jockey Club for €300,000. Hibiscus is an own-sister to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) winner Line Of Duty, and a half-sister to the Group 3-placed Onassis and the Group 2-placed Secret State.

Moon De Vega won once as a two-year-old and went on to finish fourth in the Hoppings Stakes (G3) and the Chester Oaks (L).

Coleman said: "She has been bought as a broodmare for a British breeder, she will be bred commercially. She was a very smart racehorse and has a great back pedigree. Lope De Vega and Azamour are two broodmare sires I really like, I think she has a lot of quality, is a good walker."

She was sold by Jamie Railton Bloodstock. (17:33)

She is bought by Michael Donohoe, who said: "It is a great family and she will go back to Ireland and a stallion decision will be made. She won't stay in training, she has won has race now.

"It is a nice proper deep family, there is a stallion on the page and with some international runners on the pedigree. She might end up in Australia in time. She is by Dubawi, who should make up into a proper broodmare sire." (17:15)

A daughter of Golden Horn, she is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner Usherette, and the Listed winners Magnetic Charm and Show Day. It is the further family of the dual Group 1 winner Vespone and the Group 1-placed Purple Moon.

McCormack spent 72,000gns on the bay filly. (16:44)

She is a three-year-old filly by Sioux Nation and was sold by Jamie Railton for owner Marc Chan and trainer Ralph Beckett.

"She is just a really nice individual, was 160,000gns yearling, Ralph has done a great job with her and getting a good foundation into her," said Railton. "She has been bought by a really good organisation, I hope she is successful for them. She looks on an upward curve, and maybe upper her in distance is probably what she needs, very athletic horse and very likeable, the future looks in front of her." (16:16)

Donohoe was the successful bidder at 250,000gns.

"She is for an existing client, she will be foaled down in Ireland and then we can decided what to do with her," reported Donohoe. "She might be covered southern hemisphere time, or could head to Australia. My client has mares in Europe and Australia, so can look at options."

Of the attractions of the bay mare, Donohoe outlined: "She was obviously a high-class race filly herself and she is from a proper fast family. Her late cover [June 2] and the fact that she missed year might be the reason why she has not made quite what she might have, hopefully she might be a bit of value.

Of stallion options, he said: "With her pedigree she could go to any stallion, she is an outcross, she is a good type and a strong mare. Physically, she will suit most stallions, she is a neat mare. We will probably bred her back to speed, she had plenty of speed herself, even though she stayed a mile." (15:56)

A dual winner as a three-year-old, Queenhope is a half-sister to Kenhope, winner of the Group 3 Prix de la Grotte, runner-up in the Coronation Stakes (G1), third in the Prix Rothschild (G1), and twice fourth in the Matron Stakes (G1).

She is out of the Chato mare Bedford Hope and was sold by Barton Sales on behalf of a partnership.

Merry said: "This mare is a complete outcross, and will be a very easy mare to mate. We have seen her Galiway yearling at Barton Stud, and she is a very very good first foal. Queenhope is a very commercial mare, and I know the family well through my client Dr Poonawalla."

He added: "Blue Diamond was keen to buy into this Grey Sovereign line, it is so hard to buy interesting pedigrees now and ones that are a complete outcross. This family also goes back to Pat O'Kelly's wonderful Flame Of Tara line.

"Physically, Queenhope is correct and she has plenty of room to carry a good foal – but really it is the quality of her first foal that really sold her to us. She is carrying to New Bay now, he is a €75,000 cover." (15:50)

The April-born colt is out of Messias Da Silva (Tale Of The Cat) and is a half-brother to Amazing Maria (Mastercraftsman), winner of the Falmouth Stakes (G1) and Prix Rothschild (G1) for the late Sir Robert Ogden.

After the purchase, Sands Jnr, again via telephone, said: "They are becoming a rare breed these Galileos, and obviously he has been one of the greatest stallions of the modern era and my father, who is the principal of our team, has had this type of horse as a target for a long time. We are really delighted to have been able to close out at the price we did, he could have made double that in Book 1!

"We have a fantastic network of helpers and Hubie de Burgh of De Burgh Equine assisted us with this purchase."

The colt will now be making his way to Ireland, and Sands said: "The plan is to get him home, and we have great trust in Irish trainers. We have a good body of our stable with Joseph O'Brien and we will make a plan over the next few weeks. We are very excited to add him to our stable, which is growing exponentially."

Of the Bronsan Racing equine string, Sands outlined: "We have horses in training in Australia and Britain, though the majority are in training in Ireland. We also have a couple of NH prospects, and we are excited about them for the coming season and are looking ahead to Cheltenham, but the primary focus for us is Flat racing. We have about 40 horses in training, horses both owned in partnerships and fully by ourselves."

Sands concluded: "The dream for this horse is for him to become a top racehorse and then a stallion prospect – you have got have that dream, but sometimes we can all be afraid to dream!" (15:01)

The 2019-born daughter of Churchill is out of Ivory Choice (Choisir), runner-up in the Prix de la Auge (L).

Colombidea won last year over 7f on the All-Weather and is BHA rated 81. She has been placed again since the catalogue was published. (13:31)

She was sold by the Royal Studs and is out of the Danehill Dancer mare Set To Music, winner of the Listed Galtres Stakes and the Warwickshire Oaks, and a half-sister to Eightsome Reel, who finished second in the Fairway Stakes (L).

Set To Music had a Galileo filly in 2021 and is due to Almanzour this spring. (12:25)

The winner of one race over a mile at Brighton, she is a half-sister to Nisreen (Raven's Pass), winner of the Prix Dahlia (L) and runner-up in the Balanchine Stakes (G2) at Meydan.

Second dam is Alshadiyah, winner of the Firth Of Clyde Stakes (L) and daughter of the champion two-year-old and 1,000 Guineas winner Shadayid

“Every so often we experience sales at Tattersalls which defy all expectations, but in 2022 it is probably fair to say that each successive sale here at Park Paddocks has achieved levels of trade which even the most optimistic observers would have deemed unlikely, culminating in a Tattersalls December Mares Sale which at times has been truly astonishing.

“There can be no doubt that the eagerly anticipated inaugural Sceptre Sessions have added a new dimension to what was already Europe’s premier sale of breeding stock. When we launched the Sceptre Sessions back in the summer our goal was to create a format which would allow us to showcase elite fillies and mares to the global audience which defines the Tattersalls December Sale. The response from breeders and consignors to the new initiative was overwhelmingly positive, and this was widely recognised as an exceptional catalogue, but we could not have predicted the extraordinary atmosphere which enveloped Park Paddocks throughout a sale which has seen the record books completely rewritten.

“Turnover, average and median have all soared past the previous record levels and to see the packed sale ring as the succession of outstanding fillies and mares took to the stage will live long in the memories of all those present. The huge number of overseas buyers here at Park Paddocks for the duration of the December Sale reflects the incredible support we have received from the vendors who entrusted us with such an illustrious cast of race fillies and broodmares.

"Every one of the 11 fillies and mares who sold for one million guineas or more was special and the 5.4 million guineas sale of the gorgeous ALCOHOL FREE was not only the highest auction price in the world this year for a filly in training, but also a wonderful reward for her owner Jeff Smith, her trainer Andrew Balding and all associated with one of the great race fillies of recent years. We all look forward to seeing ALCOHOL FREE race on in Australia and to dual Group 1 winner SAFFRON BEACH, who sold for 3.6 million guineas, who looks set to target the $20 million Saudi Cup in February.

“While the individual highlights will leave lasting memories, we must express our deep gratitude to all who have made 2022 such an extraordinary year at Tattersalls. Sale after sale has attracted buyers from all over the world in overwhelming numbers, and we are enormously grateful for the support we receive from purchasers and vendors alike, all of whom have contributed to a year which has seen our annual turnover exceed 400 million guineas, comfortably exceeding the previous high of 331 million guineas set in 2017.

"These remarkable figures are a massive tribute to the professionalism and commitment of all involved in the bloodstock industry in Britain, Ireland, France and further afield. It is their consistent support which makes Newmarket such a focal point of the global bloodstock industry and makes the uniquely international Tattersalls December Sale the pre-eminent sale of its type in Europe.” (22:00)

"Her dam Baileys Jubilee was very fast, I think she broke her maiden in April as a two-year-old and continued through the year to win a Listed race, finished second in the Lowther run third in the Cheveley Park Stakes," said Biggs, adding: "It is exactly the sort of family we are looking for." (12:51)

"She is a lovely mare," said Rampal, who was about to jump in a car and get to the airport. "She goes to France – her Night Of Thunder two-year-old Night Of Lightning, her first foal, has finished second on his only start to date and looks very exciting."

Sold by Stetchworth Park Stud, Pulitzer, who is a half-sister to the Horris Hill Stakes (G3) winner Smaih, has subsequently had two fillies by Ulysses and Masar.

The Ulysses filly was sold at the December Foal Sale 2021 for 42,000gns, and then again at the October Book 2 Yearling Sale where she upgraded her valuation to 75,000gns. (12:17)

The mare, who was a winner of three races over 6f, is in-foal to Havana Grey on an April 28th cover. She has had two previous colt foals – by Soldier's Call and Havana Gold. (11:25)

"She has been bought to for stallion's owner Saeed Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi," said Biggs, who is planning to buy five or six for the owner to cover with the son of Ardad. "He wants to support the stallion with a few mares.

"Puzzled Look has produced a good two-year-old, a decent winner last time, and is from a good two-year-old family. We will try and buy from some good juvenile families. She has a good cover and a couple of Havana Greys to come."

The mare's recent winner juvenile winner is called Tough Enough (2020, Showcasing), a winner at Wolverhampton earlier this month on his third career start for trainer James Tate.

Her 2021 colt by Havana Grey, the leading first-season sire, was bought by MRC International at the October Yearling Sale for 35,000gns, while her 2022 colt was purchased by Torard House last week for 28,000gns.

Puzzled Look won one race, successful as a two-year-old, and is a half-sister to Laugh A Minute (Mayson), winner of the Listed Cork Stakes and placed 16 times, including in the Chipchase Stakes (G3) and the Prix de Meautry (G3), and to Endless Joy, third in the Firth of Clyde Stakes (G3) and by Showcasing.
