Last week's G3 Tattersalls Stakes winner The Waco Kid (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) is one of the highlights of the five-day Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale, which takes place at Park Paddocks from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 1.

The Waco Kid is rated 109 and will be offered as lot 1059 by the Castlebridge Consignment, who are responsible for the largest draft of 178 horses in training from a catalogue comprised of 1,619 lots. The G3 Thoroughbred Stakes winner Epictetus (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) also features in their offering as lot 1063.

Some of the other notable lots include last weekend's impressive Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) (lot 753) from trainer Karl Burke's Spigot Lodge Stables; the Juddmonte-consigned Task Force (GB) (Frankel {GB}) (lot 1068), runner-up in last year's G1 Middle Park Stakes; the Galileo (Ire) colt Klondike (GB) (lot 727), who won the G3 Prix de Reux at Deauville in August for William Haggas; and the Coolmore-consigned Mountain Bear (Ire) (No Nay Never) (lot 672), who filled the runner-up spot in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and is due to contest Saturday's GI Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes at Keeneland.

Last year Balance Play (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) topped the sale when purchased by McKeever Bloodstock, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott for 575,000gns. From 1,258 lots offered, 1,089 sold for an aggregate of 33,705,774gns. The average was 30,951gns and the median was 15,000gns.

Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said, “Every year horses from the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale create headlines all over the world and since 2021 there have been an extraordinary 69 individual Group/Listed winners from the sale including four Group 1 winners.

“Both international and domestic buyers know that there is no other sale in the world quite like the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale and this year's catalogue has all the ingredients to appeal to the usual diverse cross-section of buyers, both Flat and National Hunt.”
