Irish Derby fourth Peking Opera among black type winners in the Tattersalls August Sale catalogue

The Tattersalls August Sale catalogue is now online, an event that features 353 lots including consignments from Godolphin and Juddmonte Farms, alongside drafts from many of the UK and Ireland’s leading trainers.
Taking place at Park Paddocks on Friday, September 1, the sale comprises of 221 colts and geldings in/out of training, 124 fillies in/out of training, and six broodmares.
Among the highlights is Peking Opera, Ballydoyle's dual-winning son of Galileo out of a War Front sister to champion European juvenile Air Force Blue.
The three-year-old, who won on his second start at two, won the Listed Yeats Stakes at Navan on his first start this year before finishing fourth to stablemate Auguste Rodin in the Irish Derby and third to Vauban in the Ballyroan Stakes on Monday.

Also part of The Castlebridge Consignment’s draft is Royal Ascot winner Rhythm N Hooves and 2022 Irish Derby third French Claim, second to Goodwood Cup second Emily Dickinson on his last start in the Listed Vintage Crop Stakes.
Sunday's Listed Queensferry Stakes winner Mitbaahy will be offered by Baroda Stud, while other lots to note include this year's Listed Prix Lord Seymour winner Virtual Rock, last week's Richmond Stakes fourth Hala Emaraaty and last time out Listed Premio Criterium Varesino scorer Man With The Plan.
Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony said: "The Tattersalls August Sale has quickly proven itself to be a popular fixture for both vendors and purchasers, having been introduced for the first time in 2020 in response to Covid-related circumstances.
"We are delighted to catalogue 353 lots for this year’s edition and look forward to welcoming a wide cross section of buyers, both domestic and from further afield, to Park Paddocks on the back of a strong Summer Sale and record-breaking July Sale."
