Harry Angel (Ire)

A share in Zarak (lot 1) anchors the Arqana Online January Sale catalogue. The sale is set for Monday, January 19 from 3-5 p.m. local time. One of the best stallions in France, the son of Dubawi has sired 11% stakes winners per runners and 72% winners to runners from all his crops. Among his best progeny is the French 2000 Guineas winner Metropolitan, as well as fellow Group 1 winners Haya Zark and Zagrey. Zarak's yearlings sold for up to €1.1 million last term. Another highlight of the sale...

The 2025 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale concluded on Tuesday with solid results despite a challenging market. Harry Angel emerged as the standout sire on Day 2, highlighted by a colt that sold for A$525,000, while Extreme Choice continued his strong commercial run, siring three of the top five lots overall. In total, 21 yearlings sold for A$100,000 or more, up from 17 in 2024, underscoring strong buyer demand at the top end of the market. But it was the Harry Angel colt that sent reverberations through the sale ring...

We've seen a Classic double double, but could we now see a double Triple Crown bid for Godolphin? The quest for the Triple Crown is usually more of 'a thing' in America, though its compact five-week challenge draws consternation from some quarters, and Bill Mott is biding his time before committing Sovereignty to a run in the Preakness Stakes on May 17.  Though the American Triple Crown is a more marketable concept than the sprawling near-five-month challenge that has remained unfulfilled in Britain for 55 years, certainly the Derby had...

A number of fees for the most exciting sires in Australia and New Zealand have been announced with Windsor Park Stud, which has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Coolmore Stud, saying that dual Derby winner Auguste Rodin (Ire) will be well-supported by Southern Hemisphere breeders.  Auguste Rodin heads the stallion roster at NZ$30,000 while fellow Coolmore shuttler Paddington (Fr) will stand at NZ$35,000, the same fee he was introduced at in 2024 at Windsor Park.  Rodney Schick, stud master at Windsor Park, commented on Auguste Rodin, "World class...

South African Champion Group 1 winner Cloth Of Cloud (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}--Our Table Mountain, by Fusaichi Pegasus) brought top price of 180,000gns during Thursday's Tattersalls Online December Sale. Consigned by Moulton Stud, she was purchased by bloodstock agent Hubie de Burgh. Headlining the inaugural Southern Hemisphere Session, a collaboration between Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital, Cloth Of Cloud was one of three mares in the session to sell for a six-figure sum. Offered in foal to Champion sire Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) on Southern Hemisphere time, the...

A total of 122 lots have been catalogued for the Tattersalls Online December Sale, which takes place between the hours of 10am (GMT) on Wednesday, December 11 and 10am (GMT) on Thursday, December 12. The sale is headlined by the inaugural Southern Hemisphere Session, a collaboration between Tattersalls Online and Inglis Digital, which features nine broodmares covered by Too Darn Hot (GB) to Southern Hemisphere time. The Dalham Hall Stud resident is the sire of this year's Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel (GB) and G1 Futurity Trophy hero Hotazhell...

Clive Cox trainee Diligently (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}--Anna Of Lorraine {GB}, by Dutch Art {GB}) had failed to strike in five prior outings, but timed his breakthrough success to perfection and swooped late to garner Thursday's £626,462 Harry's Half Million By Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes at York. The February-foaled bay, a 30,000gns Tattersalls December foal turned £100,000 Goffs UK Premier yearling, was positioned in a handy seventh after an alert getaway in this six-furlong contest. Inching closer from halfway, the 22-1 chance was bustled along to go fourth entering the...

Who are the people behind the Mutual Admiration Society? The group of owners have enjoyed a whirlwind success with the unbeaten A Lilac Rolla (Ire) (Harry Angel {Ire}) and are gunning for Irish 1,000 Guineas glory. Trained by Paddy Twomey, A Lilac Rolla has gone from strength to strength and is by no means a back number in Sunday's Classic at general odds of 10-1. She has already accounted for the market leader Opera Singer (Justify) in a conditions race at the Curragh last year and American owner Amy King...

Nine-time Group 1 winner Anamoe (Aus) leads the 18-strong Darley Australia roster at A$121,000 in 2024, the organisation announced on Tuesday. He is set to be joined in New South Wales by the shuttle Too Darn Hot (GB), who will command a fee of A$110,000, having produced the G1 Champagne S. winner Broadsiding (Aus) from his first Southern Hemisphere crop. New shuttle recruits Native Trail (GB) and Triple Time (Ire) will stand at fees of A$27,500 and A$22,000, respectively. Native Trail is in the midst of covering his first book...

Saturday's G3 Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham S. looked a renewal short of a potential big name beforehand and with a blanket in contention a furlong from home, that was duly borne out. In the event, it was Cheveley Park Stud's 16-1 shot Esquire (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire})--a gelding and therefore excluded from the upcoming 2000 Guineas--who emerged on top in the seven-furlong Newbury trial whose relevance to the Classic is questionable this year. Runner-up in York's Listed Rockingham S. and sixth in the Listed Doncaster S. over...

Unbeaten entering Sunday's G3 Ballylinch Stud "Priory Belle" S. at Leopardstown, A Lilac Rolla (Ire) (Harry Angel {Ire}--Mejala {Ire}, by Red Ransom) carried on where she left off with a battling success from Kitty Rose (GB) (Invincible Army {Ire}). Last seen beating the subsequent G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Opera Singer (Justify) at The Curragh in August, the Paddy Twomey-trained €40,000 Tatts Ireland September bargain was delivered to tackle Kitty Rose at the furlong pole and gave generously to Billy Lee to eke out a head success at odds of...
