Sold by Betaghstown Stud, this is the first trip the horse has had to a sales ring.

Bred by Miss Elizabeth Jones, he was trained by Aidan Anthony Howard and owned by Peter Jones.

He ran just once as a two-year-old but seven times at three – his last success coming in September at Listowel over a mile off a mark of 74. (21:05)

Lot 792: Claire Underwood, the four-time winning filly by Declaration of War, is bought by Eamonn Reilly of BBA Ireland for 125,000gns.

Lot 752 and Lot 753: the Roger Charlton draft is in demand and Lot 752, Tavus by Pour Moi, is bought by Quantum / Jedd O'Keeffe for 105,000gns, while Total Commitment is purchased by trainer Peter Hedger on behalf of PCF Racing for 200,000gns.

"We'll get him home and see how he is, but we might consider a juvenile hurdling campaign,"said O'Keeffe of his new gelding by Pour Moi. "I liked the fact that he gives that dual-purpose option, and he's come from a very good yard.

"I've bought him for a racing partnership called Quantum, which is managed in Yorkshire but has members dotted about all over the place."

Hedger's purchase is by Exceed And Excel and he is now on a career-high BHA mark of 92.

The trainer said: "My client likes to buy from the Charlton string. This horse won last time at Kempton and Jason [Watson] said there is still some 7lb in him... so we should be able to win one race at least!

"We'll get him home and tick him over through the winter." (19:07)

Lot 728: from the same draft Hydroplane, owned by Axom and bought by the team at the 2017 October Book 2 Yearling Sale for 48,000gns from Round Hill Stud, sells for 65,000gns to HML Bloodstock.

After five runs in maiden and novice company as a juvenile, Hydroplane began life in handicaps as a three-year-old this year off 64.

Lot 720A: the wild card entry Summer Sands sells for 625,000gns, a record price for a colt at the Autumn Horses In Training Sale and the third-best ever.

The two-year-old colt was purchased by Bill Dwan signing on behalf of trainer Joseph O'Brien.

Underbidder was Alastair Donald, and he and Dwan went head to head to the record price after Badgers Bloodstock and Oliver St Lawrence dropped out after an early battle to 500,000gns. The bidding had opened up at 100,000gns.

"He is a gorgeous horse, scopey, and I think he has some more improvement to come next year," said Dwan. "He'll get to Ireland and have a break. He has been very well campaigned by Richard Fahey."

Former owner Chris Swan of The Cool Silk Partnership said: "It is bitter-sweet as I think he will go on to be a brilliant horse as a three-year-old, but we buy two-year-olds and sell at the end of the year. It is the best sale result we have had in the auction ring."

Bloodstock agent Matt Coleman, who bought he colt as a two-year-old at the spring's Tattersalls Ireland Ascot Breeze-Up Sale, added: "We bought him at Ascot and that has been a really successful sale for us – we also bought Sands Of Mali and Flaming Princess there.

"I think there is still plenty of improvement in him, especially as he is going to Ireland as he likes a bit of dig."

By the Chapel Stud stallion Coach House, and from the family of the Coventry Stakes (G2) winner Hellvelyn, Summer Sands is the winner of two races, including the Redcar Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy.

He has a BHA rating of 109 after he finished a fine third in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) behind the unbeaten Earthlight and the 113-rated Golden Horde.

Bred by the Koharu Partnership, Summer Sands was sold as a yearling at the Tattersalls Ascot September Yearling Sale by Trickledown Stud to Robson Aguiar for just £2,000.

His purchase price increased to £85,000 as a two-year-old where he was consigned by Aguiar Bloodstock Ltd. (17:56)

Lot 702: Gassim Mohammad Ghazali spends 80,000gns, his most expensive purchase so far this week, on Wemyss Ware, a three-year-old by Dubawi and from Freemason Lodge Stables.

He was bred by Godolphin out of the Fillies' Mile (G1) winner White Moonstone and was owned by The Queen. (17:24)

Lot 662: BBA Ireland picks up Victory Command (War Command ex Aguinaga (Machaivellian)) for 100,000gns.

A half-brother to Gimcrack Stakes (G2) winner Conquest, he has won six races and £106,574 in win and place money.

The highlight of the colt's career so far was when successful at Ascot in the Pat Eddery Stakes (L). His last win came at Chelmsford in August in Class 3, 1m2f handicap off a mark of 96.

He has been a bit of a money-spinner for his owner, the Kingsley Park 10 syndicate – as a yearling he was bought by trainer Mark Johnston Racing at the Tattersalls December Yearling Sale in 2017 for just 6,000gns. (16:13)

Lot 653: the Kevin Ryan-trained and offered Roulston Star makes 110,000gns, bought by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock.

The three-year-old by Lope De Vega has only once finished out of the win or place money in nine starts, and finished second in Class 2 handicap at York. (15:51)

Lot 634: Incinerator may have a big goal ahead of him – his new owner has bought him to go to Saudi Arabia and is hoping the colt's first race will in his new country will be on February 29, 2020 in one of the supporting races on the inaugural Saudi Cup card at King Abdulaziz Racetrack.

"There is a race over a mile for three-year-olds," said Abdulaziz Al-Mousa after spending 200,000gns on this son of Oasis Dream.

"I liked his looks and his pedigree – he goes on fast ground and the All-Weather and should be okay on the Dirt."

The race is worth $800,000 and is on the undercard for the Saudi Cup, which is now the world's most valuable horserace with a prize-money of $20 million.

The colt was sold by The Castlebridge Consignment on behalf of owner-breeder Vefa Ibrahim Araci.

He has won two races over 6f and one mile and been placed three times. He is now BHA rated 83. (15:07)

Lot 621: the Listed winner All The King's Men, a son of the exciting young sire No Nay Never, sells for 95,000gns.

Lot 576: owner Thomas Morley spends 170,000gns on Prince Of Harts, a last-time-out winner of a 0-85 handicap over a mile at Windsor, just nine days ago. The three-year-old son of Dalakhani was previously in training with Rod Millman, and owned by Perfect Match 2 a group put together by the breeders Harts Farm Stud.

"He is a nice horse who looks progressive," said Morley, who as also sold three horses here this week. "James [Millman] has been going on about this horse all year, so he has always shown ability at home.

"He will go to Stuart [Williams] and we'd really hope he might make up into an Ebor horse – though I've never had a winner at York!"

A quick look at the stats shows that TW Morley (in sole ownership) has had 11 runners at the track. (13:38)

Lot 525: Bartholomeu Dias is off to Australia, bought by Alastair Donald of SackvilleDonald with Blandford Bloodstock for 150,000gns. The four-year-old is due to join Australian trainer Ciaron Maher.

"This is a horse I bought as a yearling so I know him well," said Donald. "He has a run style that should suit Australia, he is versatile over 1m4f to two miles and he likes fast ground."

SackvilleDonald paid 60,000gns for the Newsells Park Stud-bred son of Mount Nelson as a yearling, the gelding being from the family of the dual Group 3 winner, Purr Along.

He has won three races since (all on three on the All-Weather), been placed six times and picked up over £91,000 in prize-money.

The lightly raced three-year-old Kingsbarns colt is the winner of one race from two starts when he beat the Joseph O'Brien-trained Patrick Sarsfield, the subsequent winner of a maiden over a mile at The Curragh.

"He has been purchased for Chantal Regalado-Gonzalez, owner of Patrick Sarsfield and also of the good filly Iridessa," said Dwan. "We obviously think that the form was good - let's hope we are correct! This horse will go back to Ireland to Joseph O'Brien." (12:01)

Lot 485: the Australian-based Dynamic Syndications with Adam Watt Bloodstock spends 50,000gns on Saint Of Katowice, a two-year-old colt by Elzaam.

The filly was listed as in training with David Simcock. (19:32)

Lot 289: the session's top lot so far comes from the Juddmonte Farms draft - Sash, the son of Oasis Dream, is bought by Tim Cohen of Red Barons Farm with Rancho Temescal for 320,000gns.

It is the most expensive horse ever bought at Tattersalls by Red Baron's Barn & Rancho Temescal.

"He is a lovely physical – and you have to pay to get quality. It is more than I wanted to spend, but I didn't want to let him go either! "said Cohen, who initially shook his head when offered a bid at 290,000gns, but later pressed on to the winning bid, leaving agent Alex Elliott as underbidder.

"This horse likes firm ground which is important going to California and he still gets all the conditions so he will fit into the programme."

Cohen is a regular visitor to Tattersalls and the annual trip stretches back a generation beginning with his father.

"I first came with Jed, who had set up Red Barons Farm," said Cohen. "He used to come here with his trainer Darrell Vienna.

"We had a bit of break due to market forces and we were buying in South America, but we've been coming back for the last five years."

Cohen will decide on trainers at a later date, but his buying team of Ed Freeman, Joe Miller of Kern Thoroughbreds and Alastair Donald of SackvilleDonald is set in stone

"I like to get the horses and bought decide then, but we have a great buying team – we work so well together and we all bring something to the table," added Cohen.

He is a two-time Group 3 third, a Listed winner and was placed fifth in the Deutsches Derby (G1). This year he has been running over 1m2f and 1m4f.

"Back again!" laughed regular Tattersalls buyer Mulcaster. "Our prize-money keeps going up so we keep coming back!

"He is a lovely style of a horse, looked well and has not been over-raced. Horses of his ability are difficult to get.

"We'll get him into the system at home and see where he fits in," said Mulcaster, who heads back to Australia this weekend to watch Waller's runners in the Victorian Derby and The Golden Eagle, which is worth A$7,500,000 and is for four-year-olds only.

Mulcaster smiled: "We've got a good one for The Eagle!"

Surey Thunder was sold by Surrey Racing, a syndicate run by Clive Hadingham and Steve Grubb.

"We tend to buy this more middle-distance type," said the pair after the sale. "We can't afford sprinters and we have a few NH horses too, so the horses can go that way if it suits, but we are always looking for differing angles. This horse has been fantastic for us and the owners – we have travelled all around Europe with him.

"It is a balancing act between keeping them and selling them – this is the first horse we have had to sell at this level, it means we can go a buy again."

The Le Havre colt was bought in France by Steve Hillen, who is in charge of breeze-up purchases for Surrey Racing.

"As you would expect he didn't do a rocket-fast time ," said Hillen of the Bansha House-offered colt. "But he was lovely scopey, good-looking type with a great way of going. I have bought from Con Marnane before and had some success."

Hadingham and Grubb, an investment banker and lawyer by trade, met at Sunday football, and discovered their joint passion for horseracing. After a few pints in the pub, they had a business plan, website and three horses bought! (15:54)

Lot 225: Coolagh Forest, by Elzaam and from Richard Fahey's Musley Bank Stables, is now the winner of five races with a rating of 102. He won at York in September and October, both times over 1m2f.

He was bought as a yearling by Joey Logan Bloodstock for €26,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale. (15:12)

Lot 215: "He's for an existing client, is joining Simon Crisford and is going out to Dubai," said Anthony Stroud after spending 190,000gns on Intuitive (Haatef).

"He is very progressive and has the right profile for Dubai."

The three-year-old gelding was offered by Jamesfield Stables (James Tate) for Rabbah Bloodstock. He has won his last two races, including over 7f at Kempton last time off a mark of 95. He is now rated 101.

Intuitive was bought as a two-year-old at the Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale for €44,000 by Blandford Bloodstock and was owned in training by Sheikh Hamed Dalmook Al Maktoum.
