After the explosive week at Book 1 Tattersalls October sales Book 2 seemed a little stickier. AppleTree offered 2 fillies, lot 1021 Dark Angel x Absolute Blast and lot 1276 Churchill x Fearns Pippin. First up was our Dark Angel filly, she was certainly popular with over 100 views during her time at park paddocks and a couple of vetting's but as she entered the ring it was clear that she had not made the final cut for many of the buyers lists. We bought her back for 95,000gns, the price wasn't quite enough for what I thought was a good-looking Racey filly. Dark Angel x Absolute Blast will go into training and run for AppleTree next season; she will be trained by Archie Watson. Next Up was 1276 Churchill x Fearns Pippin who was a bit of a surprise package, the filly had done nothing but improve in the run up to and during the sales. She moved well looked the part and vetted very well. Our Churchill filly seemed to gain more interest as the sale progressed, she behaved impeccably and was knocked down to Roger Varian for 120,000gns which was a fantastic result having been under bid by Charlie Hills and M.V Magnier. We were delighted with the result and also delighted that our filly will be trained by such a brilliant trainer, it's good for AppleTree and good for Fearns Pippin. Both fillies were an absolute credit to Jonny Sutton AppleTrees stud groom a great job well done.

AppleTree offered 2 lots on Wednesday this week at the Tattersalls July sale. Lot 45 Blaast (Showcasing x Absolute Blast) 3yo filly was first up making 18,000gns which was a fair result. She is a first foal out of our mare Absolute Blast, having won 1 race over six furlongs. We would like to wish MCR Bloodstock the best of luck with her, Blaast is sure to make a nice broodmare and we look forward to seeing her progeny win in the future. Next up was lot 319 Invincibly arriving at the sales off the back of a great win at Carlisle he realized 78,000gns which was a fantastic result. He is sure to train on and AppleTree stud would also like to wish Colm Sharky the best of luck with him. I gather he is off to the Middle East which will suit this versatile horse, new connections are sure to have a lot of fun with him.  

Invincibly impressive winner of the valuable Stablemate By Agma Carlisle Bell Handicap on the 22/06/22 will be offered for sale as lot 319 of the Tattersalls July sale. He is a fine looking gelding now rated a career high 83. Off the back of the win he looks progressive, he was placed 2nd on his penultimate start at Windsor. Invincibly will suit racing abroad or a continued career in the UK. He is tough and very sound and sure to offer some great days out in the future. Invincibly sells as lot 319 in the sale and can be viewed at Park Paddocks from Monday the 4th of July in the Further Paddock box 319.

3yo filly Blaast (Showcasing x Absolute Blast) will be offered for sale on Wednesday the 5th of Tattersalls July sale. She is a smart breeding prospect with a stakes winning pedigree. Winner of 1 race at 3years and placed 5 times at 2, with a top rating of 78. Blaast also has plenty of racing to come too as when winning at Brighton on the 27th of May 22 the Racing Post analysis read "BLAAST was well treated on the pick of her juvenile form. She showed the benefit from her Chepstow return from a break last month to become the second successive horse on the day to make all. She had a bit up her sleeve at the line." Blaast is lot 45 and can be viewed at Park Paddocks from monday the 4th  of July in the Further Paddock box 49.

Invincibly won a nice prize at Carlisle when winning the Stablemate By Agma Carlisle Bell Handicap over a 1m. He was close to the pace all the way taking a lead from the eventual 2nd Tommy G who made most of the running. This was a career high for Invincibly and a great boost, Invincibly will be offered at the Tattersalls July sale and is lot 319. He is a fine looking horse who will suit many markets, I strongly advise viewing him at park paddocks from the 4th of July in the further paddock box 430
