Media Naranja | Tattersalls Online

Tom Malone Bloodstock purchased Media Naranja (Ire) (Yeats {Ire}) (lot 48) for 110,000gns and take top honours during the Tattersalls Online December Sale, which ended on Thursday. A winner of her only start, at Craon on Dec. 4, the bay filly was offered by trainer Hugo Merienne. She is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Mossy Fen (Ire) (Milan {GB}).

Merienne “Media Naranja was very impressive on her first run, and I am sure she will have a brilliant future. She is jumping like a stag and she showed her class first time out on the Flat, she will have no problem to do a great novice season I am sure. She hasn't finished growing and I don't think we have seen half of what she will be able to do in the future. I wish a lot of luck to her new owner, but I don't think luck will be needed.”

Lot 85, Sophie (GB) (Farhh {GB}) in foal to Aclaim (Ire), hammered to Hugo Merry Bloodstock for 90,000gns. Consigned by Higher Eastington Stables, she is a half-sister to this term's G1 1000 Guineas heroine Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}).

A breeding right in smart first-season sire Cracksman (GB) (lot 83) made 78,000gns also to Hugo Merry Bloodstock. The three-time Group 1 winner is the sire of G2 Premio Dormello winner Aloa (GB), Listed Star S. heroine Dance In The Grass (GB), and the German listed-placed Crackovia (GB) among his 17 first-crop winners.

Whispering Royal (Ire) (Gustav Klimt {Ire}) was knocked down to Tom Malone for 75,000gns. Sold as lot 58 from Barry Fitzgerald's Old Leighlin Stables, the juvenile colt won on debut in Dundalk in November. His dam is a full-sister to Hong Kong Champion Miler Bullish Luck (Royal Academy), and a half-brother to the dam of GII John Henry Turf Championship S. and two-time GII San Marcos S. winner Slim Shadey (GB) (Val Royal {Fr}), who was also placed twice at Grade I level Stateside.
