The top priced lot of the Tattersalls Online April sale was black-type producing mare Jumeirah Street (Street Cry {Ire}-Fashion’s Flight, by Dixie Union) who was secured by Richard Knight, Newsells Park Stud and the A’Ali Partnership for 70,000 guineas. Consigned by Sophie Buckley’s Culworth Grounds Farm, the 8-year-old-mare was offered in foal to the Darley stallion Masar (Ire). Offered as Lot 4, the bay is out of a full-sister to MGSW and GISP Justwhistledixie, who in turn is responsible for Grade I winners New Year’s Day and Mohaymen.
Jumeirah Stree has already produced stakes placed Jumbeau (GB) (Brazen Beau {Aus}) followed by an unraced juvenile colt by Harry Angel (Ire) and a yearling filly by Sands of Mali (Fr).
The mare is intended to visit Newsells resident stallion, MGSW A’Ali (Ire) (Society Rock).
“One of the partners in A’Ali identified the mare and we thought she was worth the punt,” said Julian Dollar of Newsells Park Stud. “We like Street Cry as a broodmare sire. The mare has made a good start with Jumbeau, her first 2-year-old, placed in the Marygate S. last season in the earliest stakes race of the year, showing she was fast and precocious.”
“She comes from a good family and we thought she fitted the profile for A’Ali who was a very fast and precocious racehorse himself. We have been really pleased with the A’Ali foals and that has emboldened us to be confident and to invest in more mares to support him. She has proven she can produce a fast and precocious horse and A’Ali should only help to strengthen that.”
The next highest priced offer, Lot 25, was secured by trainer Jamie Osborne who went to 25,000 guineas for the three-time winner Elzaam Blue (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}–Ghostflower {Ire}, by Dansili {GB}). Offered by Darren Bunyan’s Blackmiller Stables, the five-year-old gelding’s most recent win came at Dundalk in February over one mile and two and a half furlongs.
