Exciting prospect The Waco Kid among Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale entries

Recent Tattersalls Stakes winner The Waco Kid features among a high-quality cast for the upcoming Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale.

The son of Mehmas (lot 1059) is one of the leading juveniles in Britain with an official rating of 109 and has won twice from six starts, as well as placing third in the Flying Scotsman Stakes and fourth in a red-hot Acomb Stakes to the unbeaten The Lion In Winter and subsequent Royal Lodge Stakes victor Wimbledon Hawkeye. 

He is out of the unraced Galileo mare Catchingsnowflakes, a half-sister to 2,000 Guineas hero and leading first-season sire Kameko. The juvenile will be offered by The Castlebridge Consignment.

Dominant Cambridgeshire scorer Liberty Lane (753) is another notable entry alongside the Group 3-winning Galileo colt Klondike (727), the Group-placed Shamardal entire Cash (1042) and Juddmonte's Task Force (1068), a son of Frankel and 1,000 Guineas heroine Special Duty who was a stakes winner at two and second to Vandeek in the Middle Park Stakes. 

Juddmonte's other entries include Group 3 winners Nostrum (1075) and Flight Leader (1083), as well as this year's Sandown Classic Trial second Macduff (1066), a son of Sea The Stars out of a Bated Breath half-sister to Kingman.
