Satwa sets new record
Tatts mares day 1 top prices
NEWMARKET – Sheikh Mohammed’s agent John Ferguson dominated the buying bench at a strong first session of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, where a total of 199 lots sold for 24,722,000 guineas, a rise of 26 per cent.
This year’s Group 1 Prix de l’Opera winner Satwa Queen was knocked down to Ferguson for 3,400,000 guineas.
The six-time winning five-year-old mare, who raced for the Lamprell Partnership headed by Dubai-based Englishman Stephen Lamprell, was trained at Chantilly by Jean de Roualle, and in a career spanning 16 starts she was successful at Group level on five occasions.
Ferguson outlasted underbidders including London based agent Charlie Gordon-Watson. And Alan Cooper, racing manager to the Niarchos family, to secure Satwa Queen, who is by Muhtathir out of the Irish River mare Tolga, and set a new European record in the process.
Ama, the Storm Cat filly out of the ten time Group 1 winner Miesque, offered a rare opportunity for breeders to buy into one of the world’s great pedigrees, as she is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner and successful sire Kingmambo, and the French 1,000 Guineas and Oaks winner East Of The Moon.
Ferguson outstayed BBA Ireland’s Adrian Nicoll to secure the mare for 1,800,000 guineas.
Ferguson also secured the Listed winning and Group-placed Selkirk mare Beta for 1,700,000 guineas.
The sister to the five-time Group 1 winner Bago hails from another remarkable Niarchos family, with her granddam the Champion French two-year-old Coup de Genie, from the family of Champion European two-year-old and successful sire Machiavellian.
Ferguson secured Beta at the expense of agent John Warren and Charlie Gordon-Watson and indicated that both Beta and Ama would be retired to take up stud duties.
The three-year-old filly Sander Camillo was the winter favourite for the 1,000 Guineas following her five length win in the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket’s July course last year for trainer Jeremy Noseda, but failed to recapture her form as a three-year-old.
A $500,000 purchase as a two-year-old by agent Jamie McCalmont, the daughter of Dixie Union was the subject of a head-to-head dual between John Ferguson and Ashford Stud’s Paul Shanahan, with the pair taking the price past one million and then two and finally three, stopping when Shanahan failed to answer Ferguson’s bid of 3,200,000 guineas.
The price represented a European record for a filly in training that was broken later in the day when Satwa Queen went under the hammer.
Ferguson’s spending spree was halted briefly when Shadwell Estates’ Angus Gold purchased the dual Group 1 winner Indian Ink for 2,000,000 guineas.
Trained by Richard Hannon on behalf of Raymond Tooth, the 25,000 guineas Tattersalls October 1 purchase won last year’s Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes before recording a stunning six length win in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes this year at Royal Ascot.
The daughter of Indian Ridge out of the Darshaan mare Maid Of Killeen was secured by Gold after he saw off the efforts of locally based agent Anthony Stroud.
The Tattersalls December Mare Sale continues at 9.30am on Tuesday, December 4.
The average for the day was 124,231 guineas and the median 35,000 guineas.

三百四十萬堅尼，折算即是五千三百幾萬港元，打破 Sander Camillo 所保持的最高拍賣價記錄。
由於神威天后敗走香港盃之後，在歐洲取得不錯成績，:eee:
其中十月更在凱旋門大賽日勝出歌劇錦標，令其升價十倍。:rrrr: （部份資料轉自蔡俊佳）
