"We have three bonuses won this year in Ireland, worth €30,000, so that will help to break the back of it.," said Marnane, who was with his daughter Amy. " You have to take your hat off to Horse Racing Ireland and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing for supporting the industry so well with this scheme – it is unbelievable.

"We thought he was the nicest horse in the sale, and he will go to the breeze-up sales. If he doesn't sell, we can always race him."

Consignor Gerry Ross of Limekiln Stud said: "He was always a lovely horse, when we bought him as a foal his walk really attracted us last year alongside the pedigree which is all with Dubawi. He has been straightfoward all the way through and one of those you would not know was on the place. He has gone to a great home and Con will do the best by him." (17:56)

Tally-Ho Stud itself gets a great result here from its own homebred colt – he was sold for €60,000 to Kevin Ross Bloodstock / Gavin Cromwell.

Dam Anything Goes (Nayef), who was rated 81, the winner of one race in France, was bought by the farm in 2020 for 30,000gns at the Tattersalls February Sale. She is a daughter of Winona (Alzao), who the Irish Oaks (G1) and finished third in the Coronation Stakes (G1). (17:39)

She is out of the Anyonecanbeasaint (Holy Roman Emperor), the dam of two winners from two runners, and from the immediate family of the Group 1 winner Turtle Island, a champion two-year-old in Ireland in 1993, winner of the Phoenix Stakes (G1), the Gimcrack Stakes (G2) and the Norfolk Stakes (G3). As a three-year-old he went on to take the Greenham Stakes (G3), win the Irish 2,000 Guineas, finish second in the Poule D'Essai des Poulains (G1) and third in the St James's Palace Stakes (G1). (16:55)

The colt will be trained by Richard Fahey.

Fahey said: "He reminded us a lot of Native American [also a son of Sioux Nation] who cost €75,000 in this ring two years ago. Hopefully this one will be as successful."

Native American won last year's Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale Stakes in the colours of Wathnan Racing.

O'Ryan was quick to get away, saying "we are not finished buying yet." (16:48)

Bids came from all round the ring for her year-younger brother, but it turned into a battle between Cormac O'Flynn, standing on the balcony, and Joey Logan standing by the stairs. Logan initially declined when offered the €100,000 bid, but after a quick reassessment of plans, re-thought matters and sealed the deal at the round figure, the colt becoming the eighth yearling to sell for a six-figure sum at this year's sale so far.

"He is by the right sire and his full-sister was very good up The Curragh last week, I thought she was very impressive," reported Logan. "He is a beautiful, attractive colt, very well prepared by the Irish National Stud and with the big update. If he is as good as his sister we will be happy. It is a lovely family, the mare is by Dubawi and the stallion can do no more.

"He has been bought with Alan Harte and his brother Roderick. No trainer is planned as yet."

Of his purchases so far at the sale, Logan said: "I have bought seven or eight so far. The stock is fantastic and it is very hard to buy the nice horse as there are so many people here and from all around the world. In fairness to ITM and Tattersalls they have done a great job getting people here. The stock is good but the people are here, too – the numbers following in a nice horse is unbelievable."

The colt was bred and sold by the Irish National Stud, and the stud's chief executive Cathal Beale was on hand to watch the sale.

He said: "We are absolutely delighted. We bought Across The Sea for 45,000gns [Tattersalls December Mares Sale 2020], and now she has produced a very good filly in Spirit D'Or, and now another one to Invincible Spirit for €100,000.

"We bought her really to try the Dubawi/Invincible Spirit cross, so it has worked out well. The colt has gone to a very good home, and is going to get every chance to progress the mare."

Of the mare, he updated: "We have a lovely Phoenix Of Spain colt at home, and the mare is back in-foal to that stallion."

Spirit D'Or is the first foal and sole runner so far for Across The Sea, and was a €55,000 Tattersalls Ireland September Sale purchase last year by David l'Estrange and Drummona House. (16:12)

"He is a lovely individual, a lovely walking colt, the sire has been good to me over the years and this lad was a bit of a stand-out for me today," said Walsh of the colt who is out of the Ruler Of The World mare Watersign, a half-sister to the Abu Dhabi Listed winner Haqeeqy (Lope De Vega).

Walsh and Sioux Nation have a very good relationship indeed, the son of Scat Daddy has certainly been a "lucky" stallion for her.

At the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale 2023, Walsh sold a colt by the sire for €240,000 to Avenue Bloodstock. He was named Letsbefrankaboutit, trained by Paddy Twomey and won the Round Tower Stakes (G3).

At this year's Guineas Sale, Avenue Bloodstock, this time in a purchase pairing with Twomey, paid €370,000 for Walsh's filly out of Decorative (Danehill Dancer). He has been named City Of Memphis and has not yet raced. (15:09)

The filly comes from the great John son-Houghton-developed family of Mohaather, Prize Exhibit, Accidental Agent and Polly Pott being out of Tschierschen who is an Acclamation daughter of Roo.

Tschierschen was bred by Corduff Stud – Roo having been bought by Blandford Bloodstock on behalf of Corduff Stud in 2009.

"We like the pedigree, she is a nice individual, vetted well and is by Starman, whose stock is looks very promising," said Mohamad Al Kaabi. "The mare's first foal Perotto is a six-time winner and is Listed placed and her two-year-old by Australia is a winner."

The Australia was unnamed when the catalogue was published but is now called Cercene and won at Naas on September 10 on her second career start. She is entered in the Group 3 Weld Park Stakes.

Underbidder was the trainer Joseph Murphy. He is the trainer of Cercene, the filly having been bought at this sale last year by Crampscastle Bloodstock for €50,000. (14:32)

This filly, bred and sold by Yeomanstown Stud, is out of the Siyouni mare Tencaratrubieslace, an own-sister to the multiple Group 2 and 3 winner Finsbury Square. (14:09)

The mare has had two winners from two runners, headlined by the 84-rated Cashew, who won twice as a juvenile.

"She will go to Fozzy [Stack] with whom we have had a lot of success," said De Burgh. "We really liked her, she looked very sharp. She's a Kodiac, and he's a proper proven sire. She looks sharp and we hope she is a Queen Mary filly. She's a May 22 filly, but she is quite well up behind. She going to level off, and she will be bigger. She looks quite like a Kodiac, and is sharp. I know the family because Sheikh Hamden had a bit of it, and there are some very good horses in there.

"I think she is value. When I looked and saw the price in sterling, I think she would make more in Book 2 at Tattersalls. We have been very lucky here, Fozzy and myself, so why not go back to the lucky well." (13:53)

A two-time winner at three in France, the mare is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner and Group 1 Champions Stakes third-placed Subway Dancer, and her Group 3-placed dam Sub Rose is a half-sister to Astonishing, dam of three black-type-placed runners. (13:08)

He is out of two-time winner Sindjara (Include), who is the dam of two winners from four runners, including the 87-rated, four-time winner and nine-times placed Claire Underwood (Declaration Of War). (12:53)

Abdullah's nephew Mohamad Al Kaabi was in charge of bidding, the team of David Ryan, manager of Abdullah's Kilfrush Stud, and Mr Abdullah staked out in one of the upstairs offices. The filly's underbidder Amanda Skiffington was standing down by the ring and, after some deliberation taken over her final bid, the agent shook her head when asked by the auctioneer to top the €180,000 mark laid down by Rabbah.

"Mr Abdullah has a lovely Mehmas filly called Star Of Mehmas, she broke the track record when winning the Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes at Ayr, she is a super filly and we have great plans for her,"said Ryan. "This is one of the nicest fillies in the sale and we have been lucky with Mehmas. Mr Jaber has bought five fillies and two colts, we are not only looking for fillies – if a horse is nice and looks like a racing prospect it does not matter as we want to have some fun on the racecourse."

Of the price that the team expected to pay, Ryan said: "I thought that she would make €120,000 to €150,000, but she stands out here, she is a beautiful filly. She vetted well so we knew she was going to make €120,000 plus – we did not think she would get to the final price, but we were keen not to leave her behind. She will have to do it on the track to make that outlay worthwhile!"

When asked how long he has been a racehorse owner, the 82-year-old Abdullah laughed: "It has been a long time! I think since the early 1980s."

The filly was sold by Timmy Hillman's Castledillon Stud.

"She's a picture; she was a standout really," he said. "She had about nine vets, and all the people you would want to be there. We thought she would make €80,00 or €100,000 because she was so popular, but we could never have imagined that. She's a Castledillon-bred.

"I bought the mare [140,000gns in 2021] and we got 105,000gns for the filly she was carrying last year, and now this. We're delighted she is going to race for such a good owner, too. The mare is in-foal to Shaquille." (12:21)

He is a half-brother to the Group 3 winner Abby Hatcher and the Listed winner Purciaretta and is out of the Dubawi mare Sharqawiyah. It is the extended family traces to the Group 1 winner Poet's Word, the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Beckford and the Group 3 winners Malabar and Tiber Flow. (11:46)

By Saxon Warrior, theSunderland Holding-bred filly cost €75,000 and she is out of the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes-placed Sea The Stars mare Sea Karats. She is an own-sister to Al Asay, winner of three Group 3 races and placed in the Coronation Stakes (G1).

"She is something a little bit different," said Bromley of his purchase, adding: "She has not been bought for the sales race, she is a different type for this sale, really.

"I love the pedigree, there is a lot of Sea The Stars about her and I do like her sire Saxon Warrior. I thought she is a very active filly, more of a late two-year-old and three-year-old type. I had a lot of competition in the ring, I was hoping she was not going to be as expensive as that!"

He continued: "All the horses in the family have good ratings, and there is a Sea The Stars out of the second dam going to Book 1 from The Castlebridge Consignment. I have heard that might be a smart type, so there is a lot going on in the pedigree.

"We have just got to decide on the trainer."

Of trade seen so far at the September Sale, Bromley said: "This trade is really quite healthy, and has been at all levels. At so many sales if you are bidding for a horse in the top 25 per cent you are fighting people in the sale ring but at the lower end you are just fighting the reserve and there is no competition.

"Here there are so many different bidders, and at all levels – it is a testament to work done by ITM and the sale company. There is also a completely different feel and atmosphere here than at some sales I have been to this year."

Bromley has bought five horses so far, and he said: "I am not doing very well here, so I am rather pleased I have bought so many already!" (11:35)

Bred by Framont & Grove Stud, the bidding came from a persistent online bidder and from the ring, eventually settling at €78,000.

She has been bought to go to France by agent Valredo Valiani for owner Massino Benedetti, who was alongside the agent in the ring at Fairyhouse.

"She was our pick of the fillies, we are keen to buy a filly as Massino is looking for a racehorse and then a broodmare prospect," said Valiani, adding that Benedetti owns a couple of fillies and future broodmares already, including a filly by Pinatubo who is racing in Italy.

This filly is out of the winning Invincible Spirit mare Sarbacane, a half-sister to Sudan, winner of the Group 1 Gran Premio di Milano. (11:00)

Sanna Bay's top runner is a daughter of Shamardal – she won five races including the Chester City Plate (L), and was also placed 16 times. She has produced a Grade 3 winner of her own, as well as two black-type placed performers.

Sanna Bay has also bred two Group-placed horses – Achnaha (Haatef) and Gifts Of Gold (Invincible Spirit). (10:41)

Out of the Fastnet Rock mare Rock Samphire, the mare has had one winner from one runner – Touching Hands (New Bay), who was successful as a three-year-old this year.

The colt was bought by Stefano Botti Turf, a second purchase this week for the team having bought Lot 143, a filly by Zoustar yesterday. (10:20)

Coole House Farm sold the filly – the farm has sold two today for a gross of €155,000 and an average price of €77,500 (19:42)

The page benefited from a very timely update – yesterday evening the colt's half-brother Rebel Diamond (Cotai Glory) won the Ballyhane Blenheim Stakes (L) at Fairyhouse for trainer Natalia Lupini.

Elliott laughed: "The update killed us a little bit, we were hoping to pay a bit less! He was on our radar very early yesterday as he is out of a Teofilo mare which are like gold dust. It is great for Barry as the first foal out of the mare is now a Listed winner.

"The stallion is a being a bit slow getting there, but they are getting there now and he had the favourite for the Mill Reef Stakes in Brian. This horse has size, scope, strength, great action, comes from a very good home and a great touch for them - but they kind of deserved a good touch with everything lining up, he is a beautiful horse."

The colt has been purchased for Gary Gillies, who won the Newbury's Haynes, Hanson and Clark with Royal Ulixes. Although Andrew Balding trains that son of Ulysses. no trainer has been decided for this colt yet.

"This is the only horse I have bid on all day and I am delighted to get him," added Elliott.

Guy O'Callaghan of Grangemore said: "We got the update, it is great for Shaman, he has had a good start to his season and it is great to see a horse of this calibre sell so well. We are delighted to see him getting the support from such good buyers.

"This colt was a big, strong, man of a horse as a foal, and he has come back a bigger and more powerful version. He got the update and then Shaman has had some nice winners, too." (19:13)

The brown colt hails from a long-developed top-class Ballyphilip Stud family – Our Joy is a half-sister to the Hong Kong Group 1 winner Xtension and to Beatrix Potter, dam of the July Cup (G1) and Haydock Sprint Cup (G1) winner Harry Angel and Pierre Lapin, who won the Mill Reef Stakes (G1).

The February-born colt is out of the Night Of Thunder mare No Limit Credit, winner of a Group 3 in Germany and multiple Group race placed. It is a ninth purchase already at this year's sale by Latina, both on her own and in partnership. (18:40)

He is a half-brother to three winners, including Eccelia (Exceed And Excel), the grand-dam of Light Back, winner of the Listed Elfin Stakes in Japan, and placed third in the Yushun Himba (oaks) and the Oka Sho (1000 Guineas).

The pedigree is very much a international one featuring the Prix Saint-Alary (G1) winner Sobetsu, the Group 2 Meydan winner and Keeneland Grade 1- placed English Rose, Tower Of London, who won the Sprinters Stakes (G1) at Nakayama, and the Group 1 Satsuki Sho (2000 Guineas) winner Dee Majesty. (18:24)

"This colt was obviously brought here to stand out and he did that!" smiled Scott. "Every time we went to see him, he showed himself better and better, he was well placed in this sale.

"It is hard to buy progeny by Sea The Stars and we are really pleased. He is for a new client who wants a horse to race at a high level and we think this could be the one. The client has had racehorses before but is a new to me and I just put this one up to him and luckily he went with it."

Looking forward to the prospect of training a horse of this type, Scott said:"If you get enough of that type of horse into the yard then you so improve the chances of getting a nice one."

Of the expected price to pay for the Sunderland Holdings-bred colt, Scott admitted that the budget had to be pushed, smiling: "You always have to push a little harder, and we did have to stretch to get him."

The colt's dam side matches up to the sire quality – bred by Ballymacoll Stud, Narrative (Archipenko) is a half-sister to the black-type winners Eleanora Duse, Scottish Stage, and the Group-placed Voice Coach. It is the extended family of dual Oaks and St Leger winner Sun Princess, the dam of the Dewhurst Stakes winner Prince Of Dance.

She was bought at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale 2019 for 38,000gns after racing for Qatar Racing and Kim Hung Fei. She was bought from the breeder by David Redvers and Meridian International Bloodstock from the Ballymacoll dispersal sale at the October Book 2 Sale in 2017 (18:01)

At the beginning of September, Kameko, a son of Kitten's Joy and based at Tweenhills Stud, became the first European first-season sire of 2024 to get a winner at the highest level – New Century, trained by Andrew Balding and owned by Qatar Racing, winning the Summer Stakes at Woodbine.

New Century holds an entry in the Futurity Stakes (G1) on October 26 – it is a race won by Kameko in 2019 when it was run on Newcastle's All-Weather surface.

The colt was sold today by Mount Eaton Stud, having been pinhooked by Creighton Schwartz last autumn for €10,000. He was bred by Miss Leonora Keane, who bought the mare Multicultural (Fastnet Rock) from Tweenhills Stud for just 4,000gns at the 2022 Tattersalls December Mares Sale with this colt in utero.

Multicultural, the winner of one race as a three-year-old, has had one winner from two foals – Cubanista, the winner of one race as a three-year-old. (17:29)

Talking to us after his purchase, Murtagh said: "The colt has been bought for Tony Branigan – his dad's and his uncle's colours have been famous over the years and Tony wants them back up and running."

Murtagh added: "This seems like a nice straightforward colt, came well recommended, and we are looking forward to him. The Starmans have been going well today, his mother got to Royal Ascot, so hopefully this lad will get there as well

Mistress Of Venice (Bated Breath) was the winner of one, and was placed in the Marygate Stakes (L), the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (G2) and the Albany Stakes (G3).

The colt was sold by The Castlebridge Consignment and is from the extended family of the good family of Kalindi and her progeny Abigail Pett, Medicean Man and Cerveza. (17:01)

Lot 154 is a son of Australia and was sold by Tom Howley and Caoimhe Doherty's Brook Lodge Farm, the pair having pinhooked the colt for €27,000 last autumn.

"He was bred by Eimear Mulhern," said Howley. "He has always been a really nice, straightforward colt, he is the first foal out of a Kingman mare and there is a lot of Kingman about him. We are delighted and, hopefully, he will go on to be a superstar."

Of the individual, he added: "He was quite raw when we bought him, but he has done really well over the winter, he loved his prep and he has just kept on developing. Before coming here we were hoping that he would double his money. We were so pleased with the sale of Lot 139, he was bought by Joey Logan and is going to Eve Johnson Houghton."

Of his purchase of the Australia colt, Keatley enthused: "He is a lovely horse, and a belting horse".

After a tap on the back of Keatley, a quick deal saw Logan agreeing to buy 50 per cent of the horse, the buyers' docket signed by Joey Logan Bloodstock / Keatley Racing

Keightley, delighted that half of the yearling's onward sale had been sorted with the colt's hoof prints still visible on the matting, continued: "He has a brilliant physique, the sire's a good one, and we are dying to see what Kingman can do as a dam-sire – he has the right profile. He will be trained to race. I haven't had one by Australia before, and I didn't want to leave that lad behind me. He's special."

After a pause for four lots, the trainer stepped into the ring again going to €100,000 for a son of the first-crop Tally-Ho Stud sire and Group 1 July Cup winner Starman, the colt also bred and sold by the County Meath farm.

"This is the first Starman I have bought," said the trainer, recalling: "I was strong on a couple in Newmarket at the Somerville Sale and did not get them. This is a fine stamp of a horse and he is out of Kodiac mare so he should be all speed, we will be hoping for big things from him.

"It is a cracking family and, if the sire can do it, then the rest of the family will look after itself,"said Keatley, who is enjoying a great season on the track this year, adding: "We have an owner for him." (16:30)

It is the extended family of the Prix Maurice de Gheest (G1) winner Garswood, the Coronation Stakes (G1) runner-up Infallible, the Nassau Stakes third-placed Veracious and Mutakayyef (G1), who finished second in the Queen Anne Stakes (G1), third in the International Stakes (G1) and the Woodbine Mile Stakes (G1).

Mehmas is currently heading up the European table of two-year-old sires and had a great weekend at the Irish Champions Festival courtesy of Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate Scorthy Champ, winner of the National Stakes (G1) for trainer Joseph O'Brien. (15:45)

He is out of the Vital Equine mare Last Bid, the winner of three races as a two-year-old and placed second in the Roses Stakes (L). She is dam of four winners from five runners, including three Listed-placed siblings by Dark Angel. (15:01)

The second dam Premiere Cuvee was a champion older mare in Germany in 1996, and is an ancestress of five black-type winners.

The colt was bred by Archway Stud, and pinhooked last year for €37,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland Sapphire Sale by GHS Bloodstock.

The colt was bought by Megan Nicholls, a first purchase by Nicholls in her own name at this sale since 2021. (15:00)

The colt was purchased by agent Federico Barberini. (14:37)

He was bought by Cristiana Brivia of Razza Latina for owner Fabrizio Cameli – his ownership highlight came last year when Goldenas, trained for Cameli by Endo Botti, won the Derby Italiano (G2). Understandably Cameli is hoping to repeat the success.

"He is a very nice horse, very good-looking colt, he is a very good model for a first foal, everything is special and he is our pick of the sale, he stood out when we were viewing yesterday," said Brivia. "I have been very lucky with the horses bought from this sale last year and this is a sale I particularly like to come to."

The colt's breeder Nicola FitzGerald was delighted with the sale, especially as this is a first foal for the mare Kotaya (Mastercraftsman), who was originally bought as a jumping prospect.

"We are very happy for the mare, it is a beautiful family, we have the full-brother at home and she is in-foal to Mehmas," said FitzGerald. "She was never a great walker, but she is a cracking big strong mare. She is from the Aga Khan and we put her into training with Willie Mullins but she did not race. As it is such a lovely page we decided to breed from her."

Of her breeding operation, she explained: "We keep most of 30-strong broodmare band in France, but we have half a dozen with the Irish National Stud, they are mainly jumping mares."

FitzGerald, who has a number of horses in training, admits that she was "very tempted" to keep this colt, but said: "We need to keep moving some on, and unfortunately you have to sell your nicest!"

She and her husband ran a breeding and a breeze-up operation in South Africa, moving back to Ireland six years ago and starting up the breeding operation. The couple are based in the north in County Antrim / County Down. (13:59)

Jackson Stops said: "She's to go to Andrew Balding for Michael Blencowe. He loves middle-distance horses. She is a very classy filly by a sire who I love, and the mare was very progressive who ended up running off a good mark, and it goes back to a good page. She is going to the right trainer.

"It's been hard enough to buy, and we followed the Hello Youmzain earlier who made a good price. It feels really competitive because there's a lot of buyers here, and I dont think it's going to be that easy to buy. We had to stretch a little bit further for her than we thought we would have to, and I think that will continue for the next two days."

The filly, who was born in February 24, 2023, is from a family that links back to the champion Group and Grade 1 winner Raven's Pass, herself out of a four-time-winning mare Juneau (Dubawi) and rated 90. She is dam of one winner from one runner, Dubai Treasure who won in July over 7f for trainer Saeed Bin Suroor. (13:50)

"The Ghaiyyath colt [Lot 67] has been bought for a client who has horses in Rome and in Paris," said Bozzi, adding: "The Camelot is for trainer Mr Biondi, he has just sold Que Tempesta, a horse by Territories, to Australia and Lindsay Park Bloodstock.

"This is a horse I like and hopefully will be as good as Que Tempesta, whom I bought in the October Sale Book 3 for 21,000gns."

The Camelot colt, bred by Mylestown Farms Ltd, is out of the Group 3 winner and Classic-placed mare Just Pretending (Giant's Causeway). She has had two winners from four runners, including the Group 3-placed Persia and the Listed-placed Visage.

Lot 67 is the first foal out of Immaculate (Invincible Spirit) and from the top class family of Jacqueline Quest and her offspring – the Group and Grade 1 winners Line Of Duty and Jackie Oh, the Listed winner and Group 3-placed Onassis, and the black-type placed Secret State and Hibiscus.

The colt was pinhooked by today's consignor Weir View Stud for €23,000. (13:40)

He added: "This is an athletic filly and she has been bought on spec."

Bred by Ringfort Stud and born in March, the filly is out of the Charm Spirit mare Ivory Charm. She is dam of two winners from two runners, both who have won at two – Barbara In Love, her two-year-old of this year, has won abroad, while her 2021 gelding by Piloto Pardo (Bated Breath) is rated 82.

And that horse trained by Twomey and beaten by Space Blues in the Foret? The subsequent Group 1 winner Pearls Galore. (13:05)

McCormack said: "She'll go home and be broken, and probably stay in Ireland to be trained. I liked everything about her – she's a great walker, good-bodied filly; she has it all. Jim likes the sire, I like the sire. I saw her on Sunday and loved her. I put her to Jim and now we have her." (12:47)

"He will go back to England to be pre-trained and will decide on a trainer later on," said Creighton after spending €100,000. "I loved this horse's pedigree – the Deep Impact influence from Saxon Warrior, and everything the mare has produced has been rated well and she herself was unlucky not to be black-type. She is by Dansili who is such a good broodmare sire."

"The Clive Cox-trained Star Anthem, who was fourth in the Mill Reef Stakes, looks as though he will be black-type."

Dam Ihtifal (Dansili) was a winner at three from only six career starts and is an own-sister to the Group 3 winner Zibelina, dam of two Group 3 winners. Her own-dam Zaeema (Zafonic) is a half-sister to the Dante Stakes (G1) winner and the Group 1-placed Carlton House.

All five runners out of the mare are winners, four of her runners have been BHA rated over 90 with Star Anthem finishing a good fourth place in the Mill Reef Stakes (G2) last weekend. (12:37)

Hi Milady is bought by a half-sister to ten other winners, headlined by Hard Yards, who was also a runner-up in the Anglesey Stakes (G3) and a winner of four races in Hong Kong. (12:30)

Born in March, the colt it out of the Fasliyev mare Greenisland, the winner of two races at two, Listed third in the Valiant Stakes, the dam of four winners including the Liste-winning pair Boerhan and Shamshon.

She is also a half-sister to the champion two-year-old filly Millisle, winner of the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes.

Johnston Racing has bought three horses already this morning. (11:54)

"The plan is to see how he develops over the next three months, and perhaps go to breeze in France next spring to take advantage of the premiums," said Farrell. "I think he is going to take a bit of time, but I like the horse. I bought some very nice horses from the Bleahens before so, hopefully, this horse will be lucky as well."

Of Hello Youmzain he said: "I had a very nice one by him this year and I got a lot of money for him [Lot 12, Craven Sale bought by Blandford Bloodstock for 200,000gns]. I think the stallion is very good, so it all made sense. We will find out next spring whether this was a good bit of business, at the moment I am happy!"

The colt, who is a half-brother to the Prix Djebel (G3) winner Rock Boy and the Derby Italiano (G2) winner Alastor, was bought by LJ Bloodstock last autumn for €10,000.

The Bleahen family of Lakefield Farm is perhaps better known for selling leading NH stock and Derby Sale top lots. This is a new Flat direction for the farm and is a pinhooking outlet being explored by the 24-year-old Luke Bleahen, who also sold Lot 29, a colt by Victor Ludorum, for €31,000, the colt having also cost €10,000 as a foal.

"I am over the moon, it is the stuff that dreams are made of ," he smiled. "Cormac Farrell bought the Hello Youmzain, and he also bought Dancing City from us, who is a Grade 1 horse with Willie Mullins. It is great to get the repeat business. We have got very lucky with Hello Youmzain, in the last fortnight he has got two Group 3 winners, is leading first-season sire in Europe and has a 39 per cent strike-rate."

He added: "The Victor Lurodum [Lot 29] is going to Spain, so just shows the strength of the buying bench and the great work that Tatts have been doing. We have been flat out since we got here and had 79 shows here on Sunday and 80 yesterday; there was a great buzz but the place."

The young man has packed a lot of experience into his early years ... he has spent time in the US with Peter O'Callaghan and in the UK at Tweenhills Stud. He has a business degree gained at UL, and recently completed the Irish National Stud course.

"I have grown up with a background of NH horses, I have been very lucky. I am going to trade NH horses, but the Flat is going to be my own venture, I want to go at this full-time now," he says

He is likely to head back to France to reinvest today's profits: "Without a doubt, I found having the premiums for these two horses a huge draw for a lot of buyers. It is very attractive addition to the international and European buyers here."

Before he heads out to make his onward plans, Bleahen has a colt by Mohaather to sell in the Tattersalls October Book 2 Sale (Lot 1068). (10:50)

A February-born daughter of the farm's headline sire Invincible Spirit, she is out of the Hot Streak Listed winner and Group-placed Flaming Princess. It is the family of Hawksmoor (Azamour), who was a multiple Group / Grade 2 and Group 3 winner, and Grade 1-placed performer. (10:32)
