With his Castlebridge Consignment offering 86 horses over the course of the next three days, it may not come as a major surprise to hear that Bill Dwan labelled himself as busy on the eve of the Tattersalls July Sale. Within that 86-strong draft, Castlebridge boasts the Cheveley Park Stud-owned Listed winner Chancellor (Kingman), one of the highest-rated horses in the sale. However, Dwan identified Donnacha O'Brien's Aegina (Havana Grey), who has already achieved black-type and has the scope to progress into a classy three-year-old, along with Joseph O'Brien's Blenheim Stakes winner Yaupon De Replay (Yaupon) as two classy fillies who might be best equipped to ring a bell. “We now have 86 horses left in the sale and there has been plenty of people around – we've been busy,” Dwan said. “There are plenty of buyers here from the Middle East, which is great to see. The private market has become exceptionally strong, especially in the build-up to Royal Ascot, but no doubt there are a few jewels in the July Sale – there always are. But 86 horses would be a normal number for us and it's definitely busy which is very encouraging.”He added, “Aegina (Havana Grey) is a good-looking filly and has good form. There is a lot more racing left in her and she should sell well. Yaupon De Replay (Yaupon) should also sell well. She was only beaten a short head at Naas the other day and she isn't short of admirers. I think Aegina and Yaupon De Replay could be the two of ours to hit the mark because they have the racing and breeding angles. Buyers have two chances, really, and they are both proving popular.”Some of the fillies and mares on offer are sure to generate plenty of buzz in the ring. Potentially none more so than the unraced Renaissance Lady (Pinatubo), who is consigned by Godolphin and hails from the outstanding producer Reem Three (Mark Of Esteem), the dam of eight individual black-type winners, including top-class miler Triple Time.Along with Godolphin, powerful owner-breeders like Shadwell and Juddmonte are again supporting the July Sale with strong drafts, and Dwan says there is little doubt that there will be jewels on offer for anyone in search of breeding stock. He concluded, “Certainly, there are opportunities in this sale for people looking for breeding stock, and there have been some good results from this sale down through the years. You do tend to come up against the Australians, who buy those types of mares as well. But certainly, looking at the catalogue, one of the most interesting parts of the sale is the breeding stock on offer. “We're all trying to upgrade and trying to get the ones in the top 30 per cent. It's getting harder and harder to find them because the market has become more selective. Whereas before, where we could probably be a bit more gung-ho with what we bought, people tend to be a little more cautious so we'd rather spend a little bit more on the good ones.”Meanwhile, Tom Dascombe's Capall Rasa (Footstepsinthesand) brings recent Royal Ascot form to the table and is one of the more interesting horses in training up for grabs. The gelding was only beaten by two lengths in the Britannia Stakes at the royal meeting and is sure to generate plenty of attention. Dascombe said of his stable star, “His run at Royal Ascot was obviously pretty good. In fact, he was very unlucky not to finish a little closer. He ran slightly disappointingly the time before that, but our horses just weren't running well then. He's a very, very nice horse. If we don't sell him, I'll be happy, and if we get a good price for him, I'll also be happy.”The trainer added, “He's a gorgeous-looking horse. I had been holding onto the name Capall Rasa, which means racehorse in Irish, for some time. I had a few very nice yearlings that I thought might fit the name but, as soon as I saw this guy, I said, 'right, that's Capall Rasa.' He has been a racehorse since day one when we saw him at Tattersalls Ireland. A proper horse.”The three-day Tattersalls July Sale kicks off on Tuesday at 10am.The post ‘No Doubt There Are A Few Jewels In The Tattersalls July Sale – There Always Are’ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
