Tattersalls Online Southern Hemisphere Session – Who Are These Mares?

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 10

There has been huge interest in the Tattersalls Online Sale (December 11 and 12) featuring eight mares in foal to Too Darn Hot (GB) to Southern Hemisphere time, so we’re taking a closer look at these girls and with two of them by Zoustar and Savabeel I’m feeling like I’m looking at an Aussie catalogue!

A champion son of Dubawi, Too Darn Hot was sorely missed in Australia this spring and would have covered a full book at Darley at his increased advertised fee of $110,000 off the back of being crowned Australia’s Champion First Season Sire of 2023/2024.

He’s had the pedal to the metal again through the first four months of the new season and is again leading his peers to be the first second crop sire to hit $3million in progeny earnings for the season with his 19 winners including five stakes-winners headed by his top class multiple Group I winning colt Broadsiding.

Australians have warmed to Too Darn Hot and if you want to be selling one at the yearling sales of 2027 the only way to do so is in acquiring a mare in foal to him that was covered in the UK this year and the following eight are ripe for the picking.

Lot 1 Believeinmiracles (2019) By Frankel. In foal first season, covering on September 18.
