"We've bought out the partnership," said O'Callaghan. "She was a very good mare and he is quite similar to her in looks – he had just been held up a bit and so had not sold earlier this autumn.
"This colt is a good mover and looks as though he will need some time – that is fine, we can give him time. He goes to David Simcock."
The April-born colt was sold by Hazelwood Bloodstock, consignor of this year's 3.6 million guineas October Book 1 top lot, also a son of Dubawi.

Sold by Ballyvolane Stud, she is a daughter of the Tiger Hill mare Street Kitty from the family of Golden Apples, Alexander Three D and La Piaf.

Chairman’s Statement:
At the conclusion of the 2019 Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony commented:
“A record price for a colt of 625,000 guineas, four lots making 300,000 guineas or more and 14 selling for 200,000 guineas and above all demonstrate the enduring appeal of this unique fixture.
"The top 20 lots this week sold to buyers from England, Ireland, America, Australia, Bahrain, Dubai, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia and it is the diversity and sheer number of buyers which make the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale an unrivalled marketplace.
“The Autumn Horses in Training Sale is a magnet for buyers at all levels of the market and the key to the sale’s appeal is that it caters for literally every possible requirement, both Flat and National Hunt.
"Amongst the top 10 lots we had the outstanding Group 1 placed two-year-old Summer Sands, the four-year-old miler Salute The Soldier, the top-class stayer Mekong, a regally bred broodmare prospect Lady Corsica and Juddmonte Farms’ improving three-year-old Sash.
"Nowhere else will buyers find such a rich and varied choice of quality proven horses in training and it is this feature which makes the sale an unmissable event for so many people.
“Every year we marvel at the sustained demand from throughout the Gulf region and 2019 has been no exception. Buyers from Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have yet again had a massive impact on the sale, and there is no doubt that the growing strength of racing in the region has spurred the buyers on.
"They have been joined by strong contingents from throughout Europe, most notably Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Scandinavia and the Czech Republic and from further afield Americans, Australians and buyers from Hong Kong have all contributed to a sale turnover bettered only twice and an impressive clearance rate of 90%.
"The Autumn Horses in Training Sale has enjoyed consistent success in Australia and the sale’s four high profile 2019 Group 1 winners there this year have not gone unnoticed with Australian buyers particularly active this week.
“Probably the only other European bloodstock sale that attracts overseas buyers in similar numbers is the Tattersalls December Sale and as we approach the Europe’s premier foal and breeding stock sale we can take plenty of encouragement from the sustained international demand at the Tattersalls over the past four days."

leading Saudi Arabian owner Khalid bin Mishref makes two quick big-priced purchases going to 200,000gns for Rock The Cradle (Lot
1057) from Ed Vaughan's Machell Place Stables and 220,000gns for Dramatic Device (Lot
1060) from Chris Wall's Induna Stables.
Both are lightly race types – the former a three-year-old with winning form over a mile and rated 88, while the latter is a four-year-old and has been running over 1m2f and 1m4f. He won last time off 86 and is now rated 93.
"They will both go well in Saudi," said Mishref. "I like both as individuals and I think they will go on the Dirt surface in Saudi. Dansili [the sire of Dramatic Device] has a good record in Saudi.
"I hope Rock The Cradle will run in the King's Cup and then go onto the Saudi Cup. My son will train."
Agent Paul Harley has been working with Mishref.
"Paul finds the horses in the catalogue and we work as a team," added Mishref.
It has been an exciting week for the owner: he has bought into the Phoenix Thoroughbreds-owned future Saudi Cup hopeful Gronkowski. He finished second in this year's Dubai World Cup (G1) beaten just a nose by Thunder Snow.
Rock The Cradle, by Ruler Of The World, was bought as a yearling at the October Book 2 Sale from Michael Downey for 25,000gns by Paul Moroney.
He kept an ownership interest in the horse and persuaded Tattersalls marketing manager Jason Singh to join the syndicate.
"I am a very small partner!" smiled Singh. "Paul and Ed loved the horse as a yearling and, as he is from the first-crop of Ruler Of The World, they managed to get him bought for 25,000gns.
"He is a lovely horse. We did want to give him another run before today's sale, but it rained and he does not go on the soft."
It is also the second time that Dramatic Device has been through the Tattersalls sale ring, but there has been just eight months between the two appearances – he was purchased at February Sale by Durcan Bloodstock for just 20,000gns.
(15:56)
Lot 1040:
