Tattersalls October Book 1 gets underway at 11am today, 24 lots by Frankel are catalogued over the 3 days, though 4 have been withdrawn. 2 lots are due to sell today.
One handy part of Covid is that consignors put out a lot of pictures/videos of their horses now! Unfortunately I can’t link to individual Lots, but if you follow this link and click on the Lot Number you can see the pedigree, pictures and videos for each horse: https://www.tattersalls.com/sales/october-yearling-sale-book-1/4DCGI/Sale/OC121/Main/Lots You can watch the sale live here: db.tattersalls.com:8080/4DCGI/Sale/Live?site=NMT

Frankel has the current sale topper at Book 1, with a colt out of Qushchi (Listed winner, dam of US G2 winner, from family of Grand Lodge) selling for 925,000 to M V Magnier.
Things going well at the sales too. Of 17 lots offered so far, 2 failed to reach their reserve (led out at 170,000 and 360,000 respectively) and the others range between 925,000 and 110,000 with an average of 385,000 (on a stud fee of £175,000). Coolmore and Godolphin have picked up 2 each so far: Coolmore - colts out of Qushchi and Shadow Hunter Godolphin - colts out of As Good As Gold and Auld Alliance There are 3 lots left to be offered today.
The last 3 Frankel’s in the ring made 200,000, 360,000 and 320,000 respectively though the last two did not meet their reserves.
Today’s runners. Really looking forward to Inspiral, though I will be on the school run when the race is live!
I’ve had a small each way on Wild Beauty - proven G1 performer, 9/1 looks a huge price though obviously Inspiral put her in her place when they last met. I’ll be happy with any of the Frankel fillies!
