One Cool Cat yearling tops Monday's Tattersalls Flat

Session

Tattersalls Ireland's December Flat Sale began Monday, and a yearling

daughter of Coolmore's One Cool Cat proved the main draw. Consigned as Hip No. 133

by Mount Loftus Stud, the half-sister to the stakes-placed Rey Davis (King

Charlemagne) is from the family of the dual group-winning sprinter Swedish Shave

and was snapped up by Oneway Bloodstock for 45,000. She is destined for the

Lambourn yard of Tom Dascombe.

Earlier, BBA Ireland paid 42,000 for Glenburnie

Stables' Hip 49, the four-year-old filly MIST AND STONE (Xaar). The

twice-winning daughter of 1998 Fred Darling S. (Eng-G3) heroine Daunting Lady (Mujadil) shares the same page as the talented distaffers Mezzogiorno, Monturani and the top-class South African performer Rabiya.

Bobby O'Ryan, bidding on behalf of an unnamed client of trainer Brian Ellison, paid

40,000 for Hip 8, Kingsdale Stud's three-year-old KINGSDALE ORION

(Intikhab). The colt is a half-brother to the very smart Indian Maiden (Ire) (Indian Ridge), who was a dual winner this summer.

In what is now becoming

a familiar pattern, the session was marked by a clearance rate of 55 percent.

"As well as our UK

and home-based buyers, we have clients from Greece, Slovakia, Czech Republic,

Sweden, Denmark and South Africa, and a couple of yearlings were also bought for

Korean interests," Tattersalls Ireland's Managing Director George Mernagh. "Considering that the market in general is very concentrated in

the upper echelons at the moment, most vendors are very pleased with the day's

activity."
