Lot 672: Mountain Bear, who finished third in the Grade 1 Turf Mile at Keeneland last time out, is bought by Wesley Ward, Ollie Sangster managing the bidding at Tattersalls on the trainer's behalf and going to 330,000gns to secure the three-year-old son of No Nay Never for the US-based trainer.

"He has been bought for Wesley," said Sangster. "The horse ran well last time at Keeneland, Wesley is looking for a nice miler who can perform at the top level and there should be a good chance the horse can pull back that price in prize-money."

Mountain Bear, bred by Whisperview Trading Ltd, is a Listed winner and was Grade 1-placed as a juvenile in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. He is Timeform rated 113.

His dam Holy Alliance is a Holy Roman Emperor half-sister to the Jersey Stakes (G3) and Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up Ishvana, and it is the further family of the Group 1 winners and Champions Greek Dance, Islington, Fiorente and Hellenic. (17:43)

Lot 667: Saudi Arabia’s Prince Saud bin Salman's SBS Global goes to 160,000gns to buy Meriwether Lewis, sold by Coolmore.

He is a three-year-old son of Quality Road and out of the Group 3-winning Galileo mare Kissed By Angels, a daughter of the dual Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry and a half-sister to the two-time champion Minding, the Oaks winner Tuesday and the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Empress Josephine

Meriwether Lewis was a winner of a 7f maiden on his last start as a two-year-old and has not run since. (17:40)

Lot 638: Saudi owner Thamer Alosaimi has big hopes for the International Cup on the Saudi Cup card 2025, buying Iron Lion for the race, Alosaimi's friend and racing manager Mubarak Al-Ruwis al Otaibi at Tattersalls on purchasing duties spending 210,000gns on the grey gelding.

The four-year-old son of Roaring Lion, bred and raced by the Turnbull family's Elwick Stud, has been a progressive horse this summer, improvement which has been reflected in his handicap mark which has increased from 80 to 96, he picked up his last win in July at Ripon over 1m4f off a mark of 91.

"The horse is going straight to Saudi and to trainer Baden Alsubai, Thamer Alosaimi has horses in training with him already and he also purchased here last year, spending 425,000gns on Sea The Casper," said Al Otaibi. "The owner is dreaming of taking part in the Saudi International, and is hoping this horse will take him there. He is a versatile horse and any ground will suit, we think this horse will be the right horse to take Alosaimi to the big day." (16:52)

Lot 586: from the second draft offered by Imperium Sales, Nigel Tinkler Bloodstock /Jamie Piggott go to 105,000gns for the winner Whiskey Pete.

The three-year-old by Night Of Thunder is out of Dorcas Lane, a Listed winner and Group 2-placed daughter of Norse Dancer. She is dam of three winners, two of whom have won black-type races, with Candleford, her 2018-born son of Kingman, also Group 1 placed.

Whiskey Pete has run 11 times, won once and finished in the placings six times. In his three runs since the beginning of September he has finished second twice and third last week at Doncaster over a mile on soft ground. (15:31)

Lot 568: the Australian-based Matthew Smith Racing goes to 135,000gns for the Coolmore-consigned Portland, a three-year-old son of Dubawi.

The colt has plenty of black-type form being a Listed winner of the 1m4f King George V Nijinsky Stakes at Leopardstown, third placed in the 7f Criterium de Saint Cloud (G1) , the 7f Futurity Stakes (G2) and the 1m5f Bahrain Trophy (G3).

He is out of the Galileo mare Zagitova, who was a Group 2 third placed in the Debutante Stakes and Group 1 fourth in the Moyglare Stud Stakes. She is a half-sister to the Prix Maurice de Gheest (G1) winner Garswood. (15:30)

Lot 554: Atlantic Coast is bought by Australian trainer Henry Dwyer for 340,000gns, bought in association with Hurworth Bloodstock.

Formerly in training with Jospeh O'Brien, the Kodiac colt boasts a Group 3 win in the Killavullen Stakes as a two-year-old, a Listed win at three in the Prix Matchem on his latest start, as well Group and Listed placed form at two and three.

His form has come mainly at 7f and a mile, and his new trainer said: "We generally come over here to look for horses who are going to get 1m4f and up to 2m, but he is just such a lovely horse and we think that his form over a mile and 7f will stretch out to 1m2f in Australia.

"He is just a lovely physical, has a lovely head on him, Kodiacs have done well in Australia and Joseph [O'Brien] has trained him well. For a horse who has had a bit of racing at three and a bit of travelling, he looks in such good order, a beautiful mature to him. We are so pleased to have him and be able to take him back to Australia, he is going to be a great bit of fun."

Of plans, Dwyer said: "We will just get him back, he will be an autumn carnival horse and, given that he is a stakes winner and his rating is high enough, he will stakes class horse landing so we have got to pick our races a little bit. He will be a Melbourne Autumn Carnival type or maybe Adelaide. He goes on top of the ground as well as with xur in the ground, too, so he might be a Brisbane winter horse – they get soft tracks there, which he likes.

"He is a ready-made horse to land in Australia and get to the stakes races with. We sent out an Expression Of Interest form to our owners before we came over, we had some good interest so we have a lot of owners ready to go for a horse like this. Hopefully, some more will jump on, too – don't anyone be afraid to take a look at the website!" (14:22)

Lot 525: Too Bossy For Us is bought by Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins for 330,000gns, the gelding by Golden Horn purchased from Kevin Philippart de Foy's Induna Stables draft with a dual purpose career in mind.

The action kicked off at 200,000gns and bids came from all around the ring until Kirk, standing at he bottom of the bidders' area, proved to have too much firepower and saw off the opposition.

"I did not expect to have to pay that!" he said. " I knew he was going to be very popular, I think he has been vetted seven times and Australia was going to be very strong on him. He is a beautiful horse, he is very progressive, he looks as if he is going to stay a good trip and he can only improve. I have not seen a nicer horse in a long, long time.

"He is by Golden Horn who is very sexy, even for jumping prospects Golden Horn is very sexy and his stats on the Flat are excellent. This is the first one by him that I have bought.

"This horse is also out of a High Chaparral mare so he is almost guaranteed to stay longer distances. We have bought him to be a Royal Ascot and Melbourne Cup horse, but he will go jumping first and before that he will be gelded. He is a long-term project and he is super model of a horse, I could not fault him and he vetted well, and is the stand-out for today. He is for an existing owner in the yard."

Of the price, Kirk added: "With the prize-money available abroad, there is so much of a market for these staying types, you've got jumping people, as well as those from Bahrain, Australia all looking for horses to over a 1m4f and more."

Of this year's Mullins Melbourne Cup challenge with Vauban, Kirk said: "Willie goes to Australia tomorrow. I am not heading down, I have to stay and do some work!" (13:21)

Lot 509: Ramzi Alghul buys again going to 180,000gns for Arabian Angel, who is purchased on behalf of an unnamed Dubai-based client.

"He is by Dark Angel and everyone loves Dark Angel!" he said. "We have bought horses for Dubai before by him and they have gone on well – when you buy something and it works, you go back again!

"We looked at his form and his confirmation, I could not fault him and he is only two. His form is good, his win has probably made him more expensive! He goes to Bhupat Seemar."

The colt, trained by Karl Burke, has run three times and, after finished second twice, won at Southwell on October 5 over 7f for owner Linden Bloodstock. (12:49)

Lot 427: Najd Stud / Archdale Bloodstock, the buyers of five yearlings at this month's earlier October Yearling Sale, spend 100,000gns on Walter Hartright (Saxon Warrior), a first purchase at this sale for the team.

Sold by Ed Dunlop Racing, the three-year-old, who has a BHA mark of 87, has run 14 times, winning four times over 1m4f and 1m3f100yds.

It is the second time Walter Hartright has been through the Autumn Horses in Training sale ring – Dunlop paid 26,000gns for him here last year when buying him as an unraced juvenile colt. (11:26)

Lot 419: The Ice Phoenix is bought for the Libyan interests, the colt purchased in the Tattersalls sale ring under the guidance of Dr Khaled Salami, who signed as KGS at 215,000gns.

Sold by Faringdon Place Stables, the colt, who has run seven times and won two races, is by Phoenix Of Spain and out of the mare Bratislava (Dr Fong).

"He may go to France or to Dubai,"said Salami after purchase. "Plans are open. He is a good-looking horse, a nice physical, is just a three-year-old and has much more to come."

The Ice Phoenix, trained by Charlie Hills, won at Southwell on his penultimate start over a mile and off a BHA mark of 84. He is now rated 87 and was fourth last time out at Kempton in a competitive London Mile Series qualifier.

Salami is no stranger to the Tattersalls ring – last December he bought the Danehill Dancer mare Azenzar for 16,000gns. She became a Group 1-winning dam last weekend with the Futurity Stakes success for her Too Darn Hot juvenile colt Hotazhell. (10:48)

Lot 322: Rebel Diamond (IRE) 2022 Ch.C. >> The Castlebridge Consignment >> Blandford Bloodstock >> 300,000gns (20:44)

Lot 327E: one of the day's expected stars did not disappoint, Monumental, the wildcard entry from Coolmore, fetched 325,000gns, the son of Kingman bought by Omar Esmil Ghrghar.

Ramzi Alghul, at Tattersalls and in charge of the purchasing operations for Ghrghar, said: "He will be trained either in France of Dubai, plans are open at the moment. He was a stand-out for us today, he is a very nice horse and has been Group 2 placed and trained by Aidan O'Brien. He is a perfect fit for us and if he goes to Dubai he will be trained by Bhupat Seemar."

Monumental finished third last time out in the Somerville Tattersalls Stakes (G3) on September 26, second in the Champagne Stakes (G3) on September 14, and he won his maiden on September 3 at Gowran Park.

The Libyian-based Ghrghar purchased four horses at this year's July Sale, including another wildcard entry, The Campden Colt, for the quartet's top price of 130,000gns. Ghrghar was that sale's leading buyer with an outlay of 417,000gns.

Bred by Barronstown Stud, Monumental is out of the Dubawi mare Riga, who was Listed placed in France. She is dam of the Group 3 winner Tantheem and grand-dam of Facteur Cheval, winner of this year's Dubai Turf (G1) and second to Charyn at the recent British Champions Day meeting at Ascot in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (G1). (18:43)

Lot 322: the two-year-old Rebel Diamond is another Richard Brown / Blandford Bloodstock purchase, the agent going to 300,000gns to secure the colt by Cotai Glory. He was in training with Natalia Lupini.

The juvenile boasts high-class form – he won the 6f Blenheim Stakes (L) at Fairyhouse in September, having previously won his maiden and an EBF auction race.

Brown said: "He has been progressive, won his last three starts including a Listed race last time out. We have no plans as yet. He was very well presented, he looked great, plenty of size and scope to continue his career as a three-year-old and he does not look overtrained." (18:24)

Lot 299: Garfield Shadow, by James Garfield and out of Lara's Theme (Lawman), is sold by Richard Fahey's Musley Bank Stables to Blandford Bloodstock for 310,000gns.

Rated 96, and a runner-up in a 0-105 handicap at Ascot at the beginning of October, he has only once finished out of the frame in nine career starts, including taking a third spot in a competitive 17-runner premier handicap at Leopardstown in September.

"He is a talented horse, I bought him for Sheikh Juma at the [Tattersalls Ireland] Breeze Up Sale and have now bought him for a different client,"said Richard Brown. "I have followed him all the way through, he is a very good looking horse, very sound, a very consistent horse and always runs his race, wherever he continues his career, I have no doubt he will continue to give his new owners plenty of fun." (17:50)

Lot 263: Go Daddy, also from the Linkslade team, makes 350,000gns and will be joining the Ciaron Maher team, bought by Ciaron Maher Racing / JS Bloodstock.

"He profiles perfectly for Australia and I was chatting to Ciaron and he loved him and how consistent he was,"said Will Bourne. "The plan is to keep him in work here with Harry [Eustace] then he’ll go down on the horses-in-training flight and we’ll target the Manion Cup, which Haggas has done really well in with Favourite Moon and Post Impressionist. We’ll aim to run him off the plane during the Sydney Carnival.

“We’ll run him off the plane. We usually buy in our spring and then bring them out, but Harry has prepared horses like Sir Dragonet for us to win a Cox Plate, so Ciaron has full faith in Harry and they work very well together.

“Our max was 400,000gns and I’d have been thrilled to get him for 250,000gns, so anywhere between is pretty much bang on. He has that perfect profile for Australia so I don’t think he was missed by anyone.”

Go Daddy is the winner of one race – a 1m2f Nottingham handicap won off a BHA mark of 83 last October– but he has finished in the places six times, including two thirds in Group 3 races – the 1m6f Deutsches St Leger at Dortmund in September and the 1m5f Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury in August.

He is BHA rated 105, and was fourth last time out in the Listed Noel Murless Stakes at Ascot over 1m6f.

He was bought by Muir from Diego Dias Bloodstock at the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up Sale in 2023 for €50,000.

Muir, who has sold eight horses today for a gross of 802,000gns and an average price of 100,250gns, said: "Go Daddy and Freddy will go on, and Spaceport was cheap at 100,000gns, he has got so much to come, all three of those horses do. They are really nice horses with big potential.

"I bought 12 yearlings last week, so we did get round and picked up a few, hopefully the clients who sold today will reinvest." (17:05)

Lot 259: Pat Sells, standing in the bidders, buys the 88-rated Fearless Freddy, a winner of three races over 7f and a mile, from the Willie Muir and Chris Grassick yard of Linkslade Stables.

"He going Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young in Cranbourne, Victoria," reported Pat Sells after spending 280,000gns on the Territories gelding, signing as Busuttin Racing / JP Bloodstock.

"I bought a horse for them called Craig last year, he finished second in the Toorak Handicap (G1) last week and this horse is almost a carbon copy – and both are by Territories. I went to see him at Willie's [Muir's] last week and William describes him as a 'tiger' – if you watch his win at York, every time I watch the replay, you think he couldn't win from where he was, but he has a great turn of foot on soft ground over a mile, it is what we are looking for for Australia."

Sells adds: "Hopefully, he is another Craig. It was theYork run that really put him on the radar for us. He vetted cleanly, there was lots of interest in him, it is a lot of money, but these owners have had success with horse like him – he is a Territories out of a Motivator mare, Craig is by the same sire and out of New Approach mare.

"William will tell you this horse has a bombproof mentality, he wants to win, but you have to pay money for that. Ideally, we would have preferred to pay closer to 200,000gns, but we knew we had to go a bit further." (16:45)

Lot 236: Desperate Hero is heading to Dubai, purchased by Stuart Boman of Blandford Bloodstock as a Carnival prospect.

The Captain Gerrard four-year-old sprint gelding, previously in training with Jack Channon for Norman Court Stud and partner, cost his new connections 300,000gns.

"He is one of those horses, who, when I went through the replays and form, is hard not to like. He has great action, a powerful stride, he has roared through the handicap and turned into a Group 1 horse. He always puts in, I just wanted to get him and loved him from the moment I started researching him and following him.

"He is going to Dubai for the Carnival. It is a division that is that sometimes falls a bit flat, Godolphin mainly has horses in the mile and over distance range, there is a good series for sprinters and, hopefully, he is one for the Al Quoz Sprint and will be there on World Cup night. He is for a client.

"I thought he might have made a bit more with his rating – he has been fourth in a Group 1 and was not beaten far in the Flying Five before that. He is a horse who keeps showing up, runs his race, is an enthusiastic horse, and he had a clean vetting."

Desperate Hero has run 24 times, won six races, and been placed five times. He won a Hamilton handicap over 5f off a BHA mark 91 in June and finished third in the Coral Charge (G3) at Sandown in July, sixth in the Flying Five Stakes (G1) at The Curragh in September and fourth in October's Prix de l'Abbaye (G1). (16:01)

Lot 187: will be jumping hurdles in future – Filibustering bought by Megan Nicholls for cousin trainer Harry Derham, the pair having enjoyed success at Cheltenham at the weekend with Givemefive.

"I am absolutely delighted,"said Nicholls. "I followed this horse with interest in the summer, I have really liked his progress, he loves soft ground which is a positive and he reminds me a bit of Givemefive, he is a fairly similar type to him and he can replicate what he did at the weekend it would be great. He is that sort of model.

"He will be going juvenile hurdle so, hopefully, we will see him in the coming months. He has been bought for an owner, who already has a couple of horses with Harry, but it is the first I have bought for them and great to get one bought at the horses in training sale this year.

The three-year-old gelding, who won over 1m6f in May and finished second over the same trip on soft and heavy ground on his last two starts this autumn, is by Postponed. The son of Dubawi now stands as NH stallion at Yorton Farm. (14:29)

Lot 178: Eben Zaabeel, the first in the ring this week by leading sire Sea The Stars, is bought for 100,000gns by Colm Sharkey, who signed the docket for SARM Racing.

The three-year-old gelding, bred and owned by Shadwell, has now run seven times, and although is still a maiden, finished second on his last two starts over 1m3f and 1m4f, off a BHA rating of 79.

He is out of the Listed-winning, Group 3-placed Yaazy (Teofilo) from the family of Ribchester, Bangkok and Matterhorn. (14:10)

Lot 138: Alastair Donald of Sackville Donald, standing in his usual place by the back door, was left as an underbidder after having to concede to Blandford Bloodstock's Richard Brown, who was also his usual bidding spot up on the left stairs, for Skipper at 200,000gns.

"He is a progressive type, and is out of a half-sister to Kinross who has got better with age," said Brown. "He did not act on softer ground last time, he has been bought for an existing client, and plans are fluid."

Bred by Lawn Stud, a first foal out of the Exceed And Excel mare Skipinnish, and raced by Julian Richmond-Watson, Skipper, a three-year-old son of Calyx, won his maiden over a mile at Chelmsford in August and finished mid-division in a handicap over the same trip at Haydock in September.

He is Timeform rated 104. (13:02)

Lot 114: "He has been bought for the US-based syndicate Pocket Aces Racing," said Ted Durcan after spending 100,000gns on Misty Memories, a colt by Kodiac and previously trained by Richard Hughes, sold today by his Weathercock House Stables,

"He is a maiden still, which is of real benefit to go to the US, will possibly go to trainer Brendan Walsh and has been bought to run on the Turf or synthetics."

He is a horse known well to Durcan: "I bought him from the breeze-ups [Tattersalls Ireland 2024, €120,000] and obviously know him well and have followed his form. This is the first horse I have purchased for Pocket Aces Racing."

By Kodiac, Misty Memories finished a good second last time at Kempton to Godolphin's Masai Moon, and has finished third, fourth and second on his three starts to date.

He is from the extended family of Galeota, Brown Sugar, Burnt Sugar, Charyn and Wings Of War. (12:26)

Lot 73: trainer Simon Dow spends 55,000gns on the Sergei Prokofiev two-year-old Majestic Wave previously trained by John O'Donoghue and a winner last time out of a 19-runner maiden over 6f at Navan on October 9.

In four starts the colt has not finished out of the first two places after his debut, when he came home in fourth. He has been given a Timeform rating 88.

Bred by Whitwell Bloodstock and Magnolia Bloodstock, he is out of the Stimulation Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (G3) third placed Tongue Twista, the dam of five winners from six runners. (12:08)

Lot 68: the first to a six-figure sum today is Jareth, the first in the ring from of the Baroda Stud consignment. The two-year-old gelding was bought by Ciaran Maher Racing / JS Bloodstock for 140,000gns.

Will Bourne, head of bloodstock for Maher, is at Tattersalls with Billy Jackson Stops, the pair bidding from the back stairs.

"He will go to Ciaran, we will get him into the Australian system and, hopefully, he will go through the grades," said Bourne. "I love his progression, he is a young horse, I loved his improvement from his first start to his second – he has shown that he has talent and you never know where they end up. The high handicap mark he was given on that last start was not that advantageous for us, but I guess it was justified."

The gelding, bred by Herbertstown House Stud and owned in training by Dr Marcella Burns, is out of the winning Mastercraftsman mare Diylawa, a half-sister to Diamil (Awtaad), a dual Group 3 winner in Australia. It is the family of the two-time Australian Group 1 runner-up Dibayani. (11:33)

Chairman's Statement: Edmond Mahony ‎

“I suspect that the 2024 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale will be remembered for a very long time. From the moment the buyers began to descend on Park Paddocks in advance of Book 1 it felt as if something out of the ordinary was beginning to unfold, but nevertheless, not even the most incurable optimist would have predicted that in a period of two weeks more than 200 million guineas would be spent on yearlings at Tattersalls.

“The sustained demand has been breathtaking and the fact that records continued to fall throughout Books 1, 2 and 3 of the October Yearling Sale has, in the current climate, been a very welcome boost for the wider European bloodstock industry. Amongst the numerous extraordinary figures perhaps the most remarkable statistic is that after an unprecedented Book 1 clearance rate of 88 per cent, Book 2 produced three consecutive sessions which achieved clearance rates of 90 per cent or higher and Day 1 of Book 3 had a clearance rate of 88 per cent.

"Only yearling sales of the very highest quality produce such impressive returns and we must pay tribute to the breeders and consignors from Britain, Ireland and further afield whose consistent support of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale brings the buyers to Park Paddocks and Newmarket in such huge numbers year after year, and more than ever in 2024.

“Not every sector of the market has been as robust as we would all like, but the appetite for quality yearlings has been truly global and it has been particularly rewarding to have welcomed so many new buyers from all over the world in the course of the past two weeks, alongside those whose support has long been a feature of so many sales at Tattersalls.

"Between them all they have demonstrated not only the enduring international appeal of the sport of horse racing, but also that Tattersalls in October remains unrivalled as a source of the finest yearlings to be found in Europe.” ()

Lot 1856: trainer Henry Candy stays on late in the day to buy this Ardad filly from Throckmorton Stud's fast family. The trainer spends 10,000gns on the May-born filly, bred by Peter Balding and Lady Whent.

The colt is out of a three-time-winning Bold Edge half-sister to the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (G1) winner Twilight Son, Hackwood Stakes (G3) winner Music Master, July Cup (G1) runner-up Run To Freedom, the Listed winner Spring Fling, and to the dam of the July Stakes (G2) and this year's Commonwealth Cup (G1) third-placed Jasour.

Ardad has had 62 yearlings sell through the Tattersalls Somerville and October Sales, achieving an average price of 40,971gns and with a top price of 420,000gns given by Amo Racing for the filly out of Squash sold by Kirtlington Stud. (19:24)

Lot 1840: the Massaat yearling offered by Consign Ltd makes 9,000gns.

He is the first foal out of the Speighstown mare Kodikova, the winner of a race at two in the US. She is a daughter of the Listed Montrose Stakes placed Kodiva (Kodiac).

It is the talented family of Silver Grey, runner-up in the Prix Thomas Byron (G3), Songlark, who won the Prix Thomas Byron (G3), and her daughter Sky Lantern, who won the 1,000 Guineas alongside three further top level successes. (18:56)

Lot 1761: "She is a cracking filly, walks well, is good hard colour and from a good family, and we had to go a bit further than we had hoped, but we are running out of options and she is proper quality!" said Michael Dods after buying this filly by Washington DC for 60,000gns from breeder Bearstone Stud, a third purchase for Dods today. "I have not trained any by the stallion, but have watched a lot of his runners and Washington Heights has had a good year. She is from a good fast family and is for an existing client."

He added: "We are done now this year! But this sale has been lucky for us – at this sale we have bought a number of godo horses, including Northern Ticker who is rated 101, Azure Blue, who is rated 99, and the Hackwood Stakes (G3) winner Commanche Falls."

Sold by Bearstone Stud, which stands the sire, this January-born filly is a daughter of Seaclusion (Fountain Of Youth). She is a daughter of the Hilary Needler Trophy winner On The Brink (Mind Games). Further back in the essentially Bearstone Stud-developed pedigree is the stud's European champion three-year-old filly, dual Group 1 winner and Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Glass Slippers.

Lot 1724: progeny by Territories have been well-received all week, and this colt is no exception – Sean Grassick Bloodstock going to 62,000gns, buying on behalf of trainer Ollie Sangster.

The colt, a first foal out of the mare Pax Britannia, the winner of two races, was sold by The National Stud for breeder Chola Dynasty (The Partnership).

"He is for Ollie, he was very keen on him and saw him yesterday,"said Grassick. "Ollie has done well with the stallion, this is a scopey sort and has some quality."

This is the fourth lot bought by Grassick today, the others have been purchased on behalf of Kevin Coleman in Ireland.

"We always work Book 3 hard, and have had some nice winners from this sale," said Grassick, "and it has been a happy hunting ground today."

The colt was sold by The National Stud, the farm having sold the top two lots so far in this second session of Book 3 – this colt, and the top lot, Lot 1617 by Al Kazeem, who sold for 65,000gns.

Joe Bradley, head of bloodstock, said: "This colt has always been a nice horse, throughout the whole year, but when he came here he just turned it on. He has been sensational and really stood out in this part of the sale. He is an athletic horse, and Territories has had a great year, too. We are slightly surprised, but equally he is worth that sort of money."

Jamie Jackson, nominations and sales manager, said of Lot 1617: "I saw the horse back in July at Brookside Stud, and thought, 'Wow, he is a lovely, big scopey horse.'

"We brought him down here and, initially, he was not really being pulled out, but we put him on everyone's list and then word got out, peple came to view him and he has been showing himself off well. It is wonderful result for us and for our client Steve Bradley, who has a good few horses with us.

"Trade has been great, a lot of people who could not buy in Book 2 have been buying in Book 3 and landing on some good horses. Thankfully they are with us!"

Bradley added: "This whole October Sale has been a really good sale for us. The team at home is busy particularly at this time of year so it is great credit to them all.

"As Jamie said Steve Bradley is the most unbelievable client and friend to us and the stud. He is a big supporter of racing in Newmarket with horses in training with David Simcock, so to get a good result for him is amazing and we are delighted." (16:21)

Lot 1667: after buying the Al Kazeem colt earlier today, Oakgrove Stud puts on its consignors' hat and sells this homebred filly by Ardad to Jo Stone on behalf of Newmarket-based trainer Alice Haynes for 35,000gns.

Haynes said: "She was a bit of a stand-out for us today. She has a great page and is a good sort, and she has the benefit of the bonus, which is a massive plus. She is for a new client."

The filly is out of the Listed winner and Group 3-placed Lady Grace (Orpen), dam of four winners including the Listed winner and 98-rated Penmaen, as well as the Listed-placed Glencadam Glory, who was rated 110.

Breath Away (Bated Breath), out of Darling Grace, a half-sister to this filly, is a Listed winner in the US and has finished third in Grade 3 Noble Damsel Stakes since the catalogue was published. (14:18)
