They have both been with Dermot Weld and are heading back there for a new client.

"Sattam is a handsome, good walking type, and Dermot likes them both," said Durcan.

Sattam is out of the Teofilo mare Tarayef, who was purchased by Shadwell in 2014 as a yearling in Ireland. She is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed pair of Saddler's Rock and Tarfasha, and her second dam is Greektown, dam of the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (G1) winner Gamut and the Geoffrey Freer Stakes (G2) Multicoloured.

Tharif is out of Khulood, winner of the Nell Gwyn Stakes (G3). She is a daughter of Elle Seule, winner of the Group 2 Prix d'Astarte. the dam of the champions three-year-old filly Mehthaaf and Elnadim, and ancestress of stallions Bangkok, Ribchester, Mondialiste and Intello. (11:31)

The four-year-old last won on December 29 at Southwell over a mile off a BHA mark of 70 and finished second last time at the same track off his higher mark of 73. (10:58)

The son of Markaz, sold by Jamie Railton for a partnership, is a Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale 2020 where he was bought by Gordian Troeller Bloodstock for £7,500 from Rossenarra Stud.

He was purchased today by Simon Hodgson Racing. (10:32)

Formerly trained by Adam West Training, has run three times finishing fourth and third on his last two runs in September at Ascot and Lingfield.

The gelding's pedigree traces back to Danehill, who is out of Land Of Eagles's third dam Razyana. (18:59)

They cost 95,000gns and 90,000gns respectively.

Doherty said: "They were both good racemares, the Slade Power mare was rated 92 and is in-foal to the right stallion, while Lucieta won a 28-runner Curragh maiden and she was then unlucky – she had a few niggling things going on. However, she is a half-sister to a very good mare in Lucida [Group 2 winner, 1,000 Guineas runner-up], New Approach is a very good broodmare sire and, hopefully, Dawn Approach will kick on and do the same. She is carrying to Invincible Spirit – what is wrong with that?

"There are no plans for stallions as yet, we will get them home and see what they are like, have a good look at them and decide then."

The pair were bought for Tony Smurfit's Forenaghts Stud, near Naas.

"We tried really hard to buy nice mares and fillies here at the Breeding Stock Sale," reported Doherty, stud manager at Forenaghts. "We try to buy good racemares – winning a Curragh maiden, as Lucieta did, is pretty hard to do, while Moment Of Silence, she had a very good rating."

Doherty added: "They both have quite late covers, we will see what we get on the ground before making any decisions, but they are in-foal to the right stallions." (17:51)

"She is for an existing client and she has a residual value as daughter of Dubawi, but hopefully we will have a bit of fun with her," said Camacho. "We've watched at her races, and my husband spoke to Charlie Appleby who recommended her. She will come home and we will see how she is."

Sacred Jewel is out of Priceless, winner of the Temple Stakes (G2) and from the family of Rebelline, winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup (G1). (17:20)

"She has been bought for a client who has a couple of mares at Barton Stud," said Sangster. "We just wanted to get into Sea The Stars, my client has has had a lot of success with the sire – he had Raheen House who we bought in Book 2 for 35,000gns and has been sold to Australia."

Sangster added: "I loved this filly, she has a lot of quality. The pedigree is very active, I think she has got a lot of stallion opportunities and she stays in the UK.

"We are quite keen on Pinatubo. We will speak to the boys in blue and see what we can do. She has a lot of scope – I really liked Pinatubo when I saw him in December and I think she would be a good match. She has plenty of size, so hopefully that will work out well."

Of price expectations, Sangster said: "Before I saw her, my price on her was a bit lower, but when I saw her she was a real stand out for me. I said to my client this morning that I thought we'd have to give a little more and he was prepared to do so." (17:07)

Mazzuri was Listed placed on the All-Weather at Dundalk in 2018 and again at Goodwood the following year. She achieved a BHA career high mark of 95. She is from the further family of the champion sprinter Muhaarar.

New sire A'Ali paraded this morning as part of the TBA Stallion Parade, the son of Society Rock new to Newsells Park Stud for the 2022 season. (16:27)

"Night Of Thunder has done incredibly well, the dam has produced two stakes winners, we like the individual, and he heads to Ireland. He has a fantastic back pedigree and we hope he comes back next October and makes money!" smiled Stroud, speaking on behalf of Ballyhimikin.

Elshaadin is dam of three winners from three runners, including Moqtarreeb, a Listed winner in Abu Dhabi and placed fifth for trainer Erwan Charpy in the Group 2 Zabeel Mile since the catalogue was published, and the winner and twice Group 3 placed Khaloosy (Dubawi).

The third dam is Magnificent Style, the dam of the Group 1 winners Nathaniel, Playful Act and Great Heavens, and the Group 2 winners Percussionist and Echoes In Eternity. (15:26)

"She is for a partnership," said buyer Richard Brown. "She is a two-year-old so we are going to chuck her out in the field for a year, I don't think we will race her. I bought this filly's full-sister [Mohjatty] for a quarter of a million at the December Sale, and she goes to Dubawi – there is going to be a lot happening in the pedigree to come." (14:30)

"She has been bought for an existing client of Satish Seemar's and she goes to Dubai," said Singh. "Satish is buys looking for recruits for the next season in Middle East. He went through the catalogue himself, put a short list together and got the horses vetted here. She was his pick of the two-year-olds."

A February-born filly, she is out of the two-year-old winner Nawassi (Dubawi), a daughter of the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) winner Maqaasid (Green Desert). (14:16)

"She is for an established client. She goes into training, she is a nice filly with a bit of a page and you have to pay for them. We also bid on Lot 55," said McCormack (14:10)

She was bought by Meah / Lloyd Bloodstock for owner Jonathan Sarkar, who already has horses with Spiller.

"Jonathan has three mares with us on the farm and horses in training with Henry," said Jamie Lloyd. "That form of her first race, you didn't make private offers on Shadwell horse, but if you had have done, you would have been offering in the region of £250,000. We just felt she is a filly that down the road, even at this price, she could look cheap. Jonathan is looking for something a bit better and a bit nicer to add to his string."

"She will race and she will breed," said Sarkar.

Henry Spiller was on hand to watch the purchase and said: "We are delighted. Her form is rock solid, we have a filly whose form ties in the third horse and we like her a lot. She is a lovely looking filly, it is a great farm to buy from." (14:04)

Anasheed won once as a three-year-old (from three starts) and has had a colt by Siyouni in 2020 and a filly by Sea The Stars in 2021. She was sold today not in-foal.

She was bought by Richard Brown, who said: "I bought her for a partnership. She was highly rated, despite only racing three times. I spoke to her trainer Owen Burrows who said there was no doubt she was a stakes-calibre filly. She is by the newly crowned champion sire, she has got a nice page, the first two out of her look really nice, they look like good types, and she was the mare I really wanted today."

Of stallion plans, Brown, who manages Ardad, the sire sensation of 2021, said: "I think she will really suit Ardad. He is chock-a-block full, but I have a covering that I can use." (13:42)

Brave Blossom (Mayson), a close relation to Pinchek (Invincible Spirit), winner of the Desmond Stakes (G3), is bought by Rathbarry Stud's Paul Cashman, while Duchess Rose (Dream Ahead) is heading to Tally-Ho Stud having been purchased by Tony O'Callaghan for 52,000gns.

"She might be one for Starman," said O'Callaghan. "She is a nice filly and we have been lucky with the family before – we sold her half-brother Gaudi (Invincible Spirit) for 260,000gns.

Cashman, signing as Glencoole Bloodstock, went to 31,000gns for his purchase and reported that the filly is likely to visit Rathbarry's leading sire Acclamation or the younger Kodi Bear. (13:01)

“Beginning with Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, the 2021 Tattersalls sales season has consistently outperformed expectations, and the global demand throughout this week’s December Mares Sale has seen the momentum sustained to the very end.

“Record medians at both the December Yearling Sale and December Foal Sale demonstrated the extraordinary depth in all sectors of the market. We have seen that replicated over the past four days with buyers from throughout the world all contributing to a sale, which has not only comfortably surpassed last year’s returns but also the pre-pandemic levels of 2019.

“The 2021 Tattersalls December Mares Sale has produced turnover well in excess of 60 million guineas, 45 per cent higher than last year, wide-margin gains in average and median, an impressive clearance rate above 80 per cent and an unprecedented 164 fillies and mares who sold for 100,000 guineas or more.

"Annual turnover at Tattersalls has leapt from 260 million guineas in 2020 to more than 320 million guineas this year, a figure bettered only twice and a clear demonstration of a wider industry which has quickly regained confidence and vibrance after the rigours of last year.

“The four outstanding seven-figure lots, Waldlied, Cayenne Pepper, Sunday Times and Flotus, all paid tribute to the consistent demand for bloodstock of the highest quality which has been the feature of the 2021 Tattersalls sales season, but the real highlight has been the opportunity to welcome back so many international buyers to Park Paddocks.

"The Tattersalls December Mares Sale showcases the very best breeding stock to be found in Europe, and the easing of travel restrictions has seen the return of the uniquely international atmosphere to this historic fixture with international buyers competing at all levels of the market. Buyers from America, Australia, France and Japan have been particularly prominent and the throng of overseas participants have faced strong competition throughout from their British and Irish counterparts.

“As well as recognising the massive contribution from the buyers we must also pay tribute to the consignors who every year make the Tattersalls December Sale a highlight of the international bloodstock sales calendar. The major consignments from Godolphin, Juddmonte Farms and Shadwell Estates, as well as the dispersal of Sir Robert Ogden’s fillies and mares, proved to be hugely popular and the support of the top consignors from Britain, Ireland and France has yet again been rewarded with the unrelenting global demand which has long been the hallmark of Europe’s premier sale of breeding stock."

The daughter of Golden Horn is a half-sister to the Superlative Stakes (G2) winner Gold Old Boy / Selkirk Star, and to the Listed and Group 3-placed Oakley Girl.

They are out of Pivotting (Pivotal), a half-sister to Necklace (Darshaan), the champion two-year-old filly of 2003, and from the Meon Valley Studfamily of Colorpsin, Opera House, Kayf Tara, Zee Zee Top, Izzi Top and Jazzi Top.

Bruggeman / Paul Moroney, this time with Perry Sambor, spend the same amount on the winning Dawndiva, a 2018 filly by Dawn Approach (Lot 2418).

She is out of Ego (Green Desert), who was placed fourth in the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1). She is a daughter of the Nell Gwyn Stakes (G3) winner Myself and a grand-daughter of the Queen Mary Stakes (G2) winner Pushy. She was dam of 13 winners from 13 runners, including Bluebook, a three-time Group 3 winner and placed fourth in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye. (14:58)

Lot 2376, Albayaader (Kingman) was bought by trainer David Simcock for 24,000gns, who said: "She will race straight on through the winter on the All-Weather. She looked as though she got stuck in the mud at Saint-Cloud in October on her sole start to date. She is for group of two or three owners in the yard."

Lot 2379, Sareeha (Shamardal), has been bought to race on in Ireland, and she cost her new connections 52,000gns. The purchasing agent JD Moore said: "She is for a client, we like her profile and she is by Shamardal. She looked green on her start at Chelmsford in September. We will make plans when she gets to her new yard." (14:06)

Read explained: "We have Mum also, and we have been very jammy as our neighbour is Mrs McCreery [Stowell Hill Stud] and she gave us a good deal on the Time Test."

The good year enjoyed by Time Test, encouraged Read to bring Magic Meg to market.

"We thought we'd trade this mare in, she is a nice commercial mare," he said. "I believe her two-year-old half-sister Prenup is well regarded by trainer Hughie Morrison."

Tweenhills know the pedigree a little better than most – Magic Meg's half-sister, the Listed-placed filly Herecomesthesun, had a colt in 2020 by the farm's Zoustar, who fetched 200,000gns at October Book 1, bought by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

"The team saw her and were particularly sweet on her. There are a few things happening in the family and, like everyone else, they are fans of Time Test!" said Railton. (13:59)

She boats stakes-placed form when second in the Cooley Stakes (L) at Dundalk and is a half-sister to the dam of the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1) winner Awtaad.

Daymooma is on her seventh pregnancy and she is in-foal to New Approach.

Read said: "She is for ourselves at home, we sold some foals well last week and some mares this, so we are looking to restock. We have struggled to buy this week, and she stood out today. She has not had the best of luck with her first couple of runners, but James O'Donnell from Shadwell recommended her to me, she is just a nice mare for the stud and hopefully we will have her for the long term."

Lot 2338 is another purchase by Najd Stud, who made such a big impact at this autumn's horse in training sales, the farm going to 17,000gns for Etaab (Street Cry) from the family of Bahri and Bahhare, a pedigree that was in such demand here yesterday (Lot 2032, Lot 2038). (12:56)

Sold in-foal to Eqtidaar, having had a filly foal by the sire this spring, Saud Al Qahtani is at Tattersalls bidding on behalf of the purchaser, Prince Faisal Bin Khalid Bin Abdulaziz's Najd Stud.

"We don't know plans yet, I need to call Saudi and find out,"said Al Qahtani. "She may stay here with other mares or she may ship to Saudi. We have also bought Lot 1790, Under The Stars, who is in-foal to Frankel. They may stay with Ted Voute, who, of course, reared this year's champion Mishriff.

"This mare is by Oasis Dream, which was very attractive for us. He is a good broodmare sire. She has had a very nice foal this year by the same stallion."

That filly foal was sold at last week's December Foal Sale, fetching 15,000gns, bought by BBA Ireland.

Of wider plans, Al Qahtani added: "We are hoping to build a significant operation in Europe." (11:37)

She was the winner of one, has bred two winners and is a half-sister to Mustajeeb (Nayef), winner of the Greenlands Stakes (G2), the Jersey Stakes (G3), the Amethyst Stakes (G3). He was also placed three times in stakes races, including when third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1).

Mulkeyya is carrying a March pregnancy to Tasleet. (11:36)

It is a sixth purchase this week of a mare with a planned visit to the farm's new stallion, Kent explains.

"That is a sixth now," said Kent. "His owner Martin Webb has bought some mares to support the stallion, who is his first horse - he had a great thrill to end up at the Breeders' Cup."

The career highlight for the stallion, bred by Ringfort Stud, came when winning the 5f Flying Childers Stakes (G2) and when third to Golden Pal in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G2).

Kent added: "He is a lovely horse, we bought him about five weeks' ago, he is a kind horse with a lot of speed. We are hoping as a fast son of Kodiac he will carry on from Ardad's achievements this year.

"We are trying to speed mares for him. Gay O'Callaghan has one half-sister who has bred a good Dark Angel horse [Rhythm master], Tony and Roger have another sister, who they gave 280,000gns last year so there is a lot going on. It is a proper fast family."

Kent continued: "At home we have the half-sister Flirtinaskirt, dam of Liberty Beach [Group 2 Temple Stakes winner, Group 1 King's Stand third].

"We could not sell her her as a yearling, and her owner has now turned down an awful lot of money for her. She is going to Frankel next year, she has pride of place on the farm."

When asked if he had any more mares to follow through this week, Kent laughed: "We are going to pull up now, I have got to got to buy a Christmas tree! 🎄" (11:30)

She has had four foals, two winners from three runners, including El Prados's Joy (Kitten's Joy), who has won four races, and Kitty Kitana (Bobby's Kitten), who has been placed once from one start as a juvenile.

She is in-foal to Havana Gold, a sire who had such a good year through 2021, on a May 17 service date. (10:46)

The three-year-old filly was placed once as a three-year-old, and is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed Space Traveller. The extended family features the Watership Down-purchased mare Crystal Spray, ancestress of Crystal Music, Ocovango, State Crystal, Zelzal, Libran and Tchaikovsky.

Tally-Ho Stud has been the busiest "non-agency" purchaser here this week, the farm's buys have cost 1,131,000gns with an average spend of 70,688gns. (19:11)

She has been bought for Elwick Stud, and agent Billy Jackson-Stops was in charge of bidding.

He said: "The team at Elwick Stud was very keen on her, she was an obvious standout in this session. They have had a lot of good horses along the way, and they are revamping the stock and this is one for them.

"She is a very good individual, is by Dubawi, there are some nice horses coming along behind her, the pedigree stands out and she will go to the straight to the breeding shed."

Dam Pure Diamond had a filyl in 2020 by frankel and a 2021 colt by Kingman. Her 2019 colt named Symbol Of Light (Shamardal), trained by Charlie Appleby, is the impressive winner of two from three starts, and is already BHA rated 91.

The filly's pedigree features two dams, both of whom were German two-year-old champions.

Second dam is White Rose (Platini), the 2002 champion juvenile in Germany and subsequent runner-up in the Deutsches Derby (G1). She is a daughter of Wild Romance, the champion German juvenile of 1993. She is the dam and direct ancestress of eight black-type winners.

When asked about stallion plans for Bespangled, Jackson-Stops said: "I don't know what plans are, but as the farm has its own sire I would be tipping that she might visit him!"

That sire is, of course, Mondaliste (Galileo), whose first crop are two-year-olds of this year. He has stood for three seasons at Elwick Farm in County Durham, but stood last spring in France at Haras d'Annebault.

He is from the leading pedigree that features Intello, Elnadim, Khulood, Mehthaaf, and, once again, Fall Aspen.

Elwick Farm belongs to the Turnbull family, who enjoyed two Grade 1 victories and numerous stakes performances by the son of Galileo. More recently, Lord Glitters has flown the family flag, and last time out as an eight-year-old he won the Bahrain International Trophy.

Elwick Stud was the brain child of Geoff Turnbull, who sadly passed away in July 2020.

Underbidder on this filly was John Davis of John & Susan Davis Bloodstock. (18:49)

The mare boasts the distinction of a page that bears the name of the dual champion son of Seeking The Gold, Dubai Millennium, who is a half-brother, the pair out of the Group 2 winner Colorado Dancer. She is a daughter of the influential broodmare Fall Apen, the dam of 13 winners, including four Group 1 winners, two Group 2 winners and a Group 3 winner.

Ragsah has had six foals, four of racing age, including Richmond Avenue (Invincible Spirit), who finished second in a European Listed race and third in a Grade 3 at Santa Anita.

She was sold not in-foal to Farhh, and has two instances of lost pregnancies.

"She has been bought for an existing client, one of our greatest supporters. We are delighted to get a mare with that profile. She has not got a blemish-free breeding record, but she is a sister to an iconic horse," said O'Brien. "It is brilliant, it bolsters the team at home fantastically well. We will take her home, regroup and make a plan. We have absolutely nothing in mind as yet." (18:10)

She is out of the Arcano mare Lamyaa, a half-sister to Electric Beat (Shinko Forest), winner of the Group 2 Goldene Peitsche at Baden Baden, and to the dam of Treasuring, winner of the Curragh Stakes (G3). It is the further family of leading milers Cape Town and Paco Boy.

The eight mares sold carrying to the leading second-season sire have sold for an average price of 76,500gns, with 115,000gns given for Penelopa (Lot 1603). (17:46)

It is the third lot bought this week by the pair, and the most expensive of the trio. (16:18)
