Tattersalls October yearling sale drew to a close on Friday evening when Book 3 was topped by a 65,000gns Kyllachy filly purchased by Saeed Manana.

Saeed Manana is a friend of the Maktoum family and his interests are managed by Rabbah Bloodstock.  “She looks like a two-year-old,” Rabbah racing manager Jono Mills said.  “She’s a racy filly with a bit of a page to her.”

The Kyllachy filly is out of a half-sister to Coolmore colt Power (Oasis Dream) who won the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and then added the G1 National Stakes at the Curragh.  He was a last-start second to Parish Hall in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes.

Breeze-up buyer Jamie Railton paid 57,000gns for the day’s only Acclamation, a filly appearing from Langton Stud.  “I think she’d have made more on Thursday evening,” Railton said.  “She’s a filly by a great sire out of a mare who has had two winners from two runners.”

The 2011 Tattersalls October catalogue was the smallest in six years but finished with turnover of 78.80 million gns.  That was a rise of 6.40 million gns from 2010 and the average price of 64,471gns was the highest since 2005.
