Siblings to Chaldean and Vandeek Head Tattersalls December Foal Sale

Chaldean | Tattersalls

A Showcasing (GB) half-brother to this year's 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is among 1,084 weanlings to be consigned to the Tattersalls December Foal Sale. The sale begins on Tuesday, November 28 and runs until Saturday, December 2 with a 'dark day' for viewing of the later foals on Thursday.

Bred by Whitsbury Manor Stud, Chaldean is himself a graduate of the foal sale, having been bought for 550,000gns by Juddmonte. His dam Suelita (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) has produced five black-type performers, including the G2 Mill Reef S winner Alkumait (GB), who is a full-brother to this year's foal.

Another well-related individual to be offered for sale by Kelly Thomas's Maywood Stud is the Starspangledbanner (Aus) half-brother to the dual Group 1 winner Vandeek (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), who was also sold at Tattersalls as a foal for 52,000gns. The draft from Fittocks Stud is headlined by a Frankel three-parts-brother to the G1 Nassau S. winner Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire})

Announcing the release of the catalogue online, Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said, “The Tattersalls December Foal Sale is the premier fixture of its kind in Europe, consistently attracting the cream of the British and Irish foal crop, and this has been reflected in an outstanding year on the racecourse with a Classic winner and the highest rated two-year-old colt in Britain. As well as consistent racecourse success, the Tattersalls December Foal Sale has consistently been the source of some spectacular pinhooking triumphs. We have some outstanding foals entered this year, and the catalogue has the quality and diversity to appeal to buyers from throughout the world at all levels of the market.”
