AppleTree Studs Offerings At Book 2 & Book 3 08/10/25
Sales season is upon us again and seems to have come round very quickly. AppleTree have 4 offerings this year for Tattersalls yearling sale starting with 2 for Book 2 next week.
First up is a stunning Oasis Dream filly lot 541 out of Absolute Blast, she is a full sister to a winner of 2 races Blast The Dream(RPR 84) who is still improving, she will win again before the end of the season and improve through her 4yo season. This Yearling Filly looks a racehorse and would be a fine Broodmare prospect also. The dam Absolute Blast is 3 winners from 3 runners.
Shortly afterwards we have lot 589 a racey Colt by New Bay out of Astonishing. He is a good moving individual and very neat. The Mare Astonishing hasn’t missed in regards to her offspring there are group and listed performing half brothers along with Heavenly Breath a group 3 and listed placed Mare with her first foal on the ground a Colt by Sea The Stars. Lot 589 oozes quality and we would have high hopes for him.

Lot 589 New Bay x Astonishing
As soon as we finish Book 2 we are into Book 3 also with 2 offerings.
Lot 1440 Mohaather x Fearns Pippin Colt. This Colt is a very solid individual and just wants to please, he’s took his prep very well and has done nothing but improve all the way through. I honestly had him down for a Book 2 candidate but book 3 is what Tatts offered so we find ourselves here. I hope he stands out in this sale. He is a half brother to Orchard Keeper who is rated 93 OR and 97 RPR she has finished 4th in a listed race and I hope at the time of the sale she has gained black type of some description as she runs in the Beckford Stakes at Bath tomorrow (09/10/25).
AppleTrees last entry is lot 1520 Ghaiyyath x Midnight Thoughts Colt. This fella is a big scopey individual, Midnight Thoughts his Dam again has never missed being 5 winners from 6 runners. He is a half to Daydream Express a listed winning and group placed Mare, the only runner she has had not win is Katharla who finished second at Yarmouth on Monday (06/10/25) and is a winner in waiting. All of this family are guaranteed racehorses.
