Ringside With Ed Sackville

1) What is your one essential to get you through the busy sales season?

A bottle of water in my back pocket and a cigarette–usually “borrowed” from John Cullinan, Mouse O'Ryan or Charlie Gordon-Watson

2) Which stallion's first yearlings impressed you most this year?

For pure class the Australia (GB) yearlings, they had great presence and quality. For power and speed the No Nay Nevers. And for consistent value the Alhebayeb (Ire)s.

3) What horse springs to mind as your favourite purchase?

A Dark Angel filly (lot 434) from Corduff Stud and a Siyouni filly (lot 423) from Coulonces. Both were from Tatts and both were for John Dance.

4) And finally, if you had to select one other agent to buy a horse for you. Who would it be and why?

I notice that Will Douglass has nominated me, so no doubt I have a moral obligation to choose him. But jokes aside, other than my business partner Al Donald who would be my number one choice, Will is a good guy who works very hard and is very able.
