Palace Pier half-brother among 547-strong Tattersalls Book 1 catalogue
Siblings of Galileo Gold, Magna Grecia and Shalaa also being offered
A half-brother to star miler Palace Pier has been unveiled among the 547 lots to be offered at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
The unbeaten winner of the St James's Palace and Prix Jacques le Marois, by Kingman, was knocked down to trainer John Gosden for 600,000gns at the event two years ago, while his sibling, who is being consigned by Highclere Stud, could get the first crop of globetrotter Highland Reel off to a flying start at auction.
Unsurprisingly, the premier event at Park Paddocks, to be staged from October 6 to 8, features a heavyweight line-up, including full- or half-brothers and sisters to 53 Classic and Group 1 winners and 256 Group or Listed winners.

They include siblings of such familiar names as Beauty Parlour, Deep Brilliante, Galileo Gold, Integral, Izzi Top, Lillie Langtry, Line Of Duty, Magna Grecia, Marsha, Order Of St George, Qualify, Shalaa and Speedy Boarding.
All in all, there are 20 yearlings by Dubawi, 19 by Galileo, 32 by Frankel, 21 by Kingman and 33 by Sea The Stars.
Elite mares to have their progeny catalogued include Danedream, Intricately and Seal Of Approval (all of whom have yearlings by Dubawi); Attraction, Cursory Glance and Ribbons (Frankel); Talent (Sea The Stars) and Guineas winner Sky Lantern (Galileo).
Fine racemares Angara and Spinning Queen have fillies by Almanzor and Le Havre respectively, both coming from Norris Bloodstock as part of the Waddesdon Stud dispersal.
Some 15 other first-crop yearling sires are represented, including the likes of Caravaggio, Churchill, Decorated Knight and Ulysses, while among overseas-based sires listed are American Pharoah, Curlin, Kitten's Joy and War Front, along with what is thought to be the only yearling to be offered in Europe by the late Arrogate, a colt from Haras de Colleville.
"The international achievements of Book 1 purchases at the highest level have yet again demonstrated the uniquely global appeal of Europe’s premier yearling sale and this year’s catalogue is yet another in a long sequence of truly exceptional Book 1 catalogues.
"We have an extraordinary number of yearlings by the very best of an outstanding cast of European sires and, crucially for buyers at every level of Book 1, all 547 Book 1 yearlings can reward owners with the lucrative prize-money offered through the £20,000 Tattersalls October Book 1 Bonus scheme.
"While the prize-money for the hugely popular scheme has been slightly reduced in these uncertain times, it still remains uniquely rewarding and a significant number of the fillies in October Book 1 will also be eligible for the recently introduced Great British Bonus scheme."
