Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse News 59412 Stable Spotlight Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale 2024

The Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale has been a very happy hunting ground for the Waterhouse/Bott stable, and it is hard to believe it is almost that time of year again. The success we have had buying out of this sale is remarkable, and we will once again be back in October to purchase our future Cups contenders.

Last year we secured three outstanding types, BALANCE PLAY (Lope De Vega), BEAR ON THE LOOSE (Footstepsinthesand) and ROYAL PATRONAGE (Wootton Bassett). Balance Play came over as the youngest of the three, and although he hasn't been seen at the races yet, he had an impressive debut trial at Randwick last week and will be ready to rock 'n' roll in a months' time. Bear On The Loose won on his Australian debut last preparation at Rosehill over 1800 metres. He is back for the spring and will kick off his campaign in either the Group 3 Cameron Handicap on Friday at Newcastle, or Randwick on Saturday over 1600 metres. Last but certainly not least, Royal Patronage gave us a huge thrill a few weeks ago when winning the Group 2 Tramway Stakes on his Australian debut. He has really stamped himself as one to watch this spring. All three 'stayers' have bright futures.

In addition to the above mentioned, in recent years we have selected and purchased from this sale Group 1 Metropolitan winner, JUST FINE, and Group 1 Sydney Cup winner KNIGHTS ORDER. Also purchased out of Europe, multiple Group 2 & Group 3 winner, MILITARY MISSION, and Group 1 placed NEW ENDEAVOUR. 

Our Bloodstock Manager, Claudia Fitzgerald (Miller) will once again be at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses In Training Sale at Newmarket, UK with the sale being held between 28 October - 1st November.

With the help of form expert Rob Waterhouse, Johnny McKeever and the entire Bloodstock team at Waterhouse/Bott, we are really looking forward to purchasing the next group of 'stayers' for the stable who can contest the rich Cups races in years to come.
